The Horizon Center School of Hypnotherapy

Most of the work I’ve done with the subconscious mind over the past 25+ years has been therapeutic.

I’m interested in why we do what we do. What has the subconscious learned? What beliefs and associations is it carrying? What information does it have that might help us understand a behavior that doesn’t seem to make sense?

My husband, Ozz, has spent years studying the subconscious mind too, but from a very different perspective.

He uses it for information gathering.

One of the ways he does that is through remote viewing.

The premise behind remote viewing is that information about people, places, objects and events exists within an information field, and the subconscious mind is connected to that field.

So instead of asking the subconscious, “Why am I doing this?” imagine learning how to use it to gather information about a place you’ve never visited, an object you can’t see, a person you’ve never met or an event you weren’t present for.

And I think that's particularly interesting in the world we're living in right now.

We're surrounded by information, but how much of it can we trust?

There's misinformation. There's deliberate disinformation. AI can now create incredibly convincing photographs, videos and even someone's voice. Something can look completely real and never have happened.

We're reaching a point where seeing something with our own eyes doesn't necessarily mean it's true.

So the idea of developing another way of gathering information is fascinating to me.

Remote viewing isn't just randomly guessing or following a feeling. Ozz teaches a structured process for working with the subconscious, gathering information, recording what you receive and practicing the skill so you can see what happens when you deliberately develop it.

His next IKE LOA Remote Viewing Training begins September 12, with an 8-week Basic Training and a 16-week Full Training.

If you're a hypnotherapist, one of my former students, or simply someone who is fascinated by the subconscious mind and what it may be capable of, I think you'll find his work really interesting.

There are examples of actual remote viewing sessions on his site, testimonials, videos, different applications for remote viewing and a breakdown of what he teaches.

We even did a fun experiment where some of his students blindly remote viewed the contents of lockers in my son's apartment. They had no idea what was inside beforehand.

I'll put the link in the comments.

We're getting together tonight for another Ask Me Anything for Hypnotherapists, and there's still time to join us.

Bring a client question, something you're learning, a technique you're unsure about, a situation you'd like another perspective on, or simply your curiosity.

You don't need to be a Horizon student or a trained hypnotherapist. If you'd like to learn more about Whole Brain Hypnotherapy and hear how we think through real questions about clients, hypnosis and the subconscious mind, you're welcome to come and listen.

Every AMA takes us somewhere different.

Tonight, you get to help decide where we go.

Tomorrow night is our next Ask Me Anything for Hypnotherapists.

I never know exactly what we're going to talk about until everyone arrives.

Someone may bring a client situation they're stuck on. Someone else may have a question about something they're learning. We might end up talking about consultations, hypnotic arguments, session planning, subconscious associations, practice building, or something none of us expected.

That's what I like about these sessions.

They're not another class where I decide what you need to know.

They're an opportunity for you to bring what you're actually thinking about and get another perspective.

And if you're curious about Whole Brain Hypnotherapy but haven't trained with me, you're welcome too.

You don't need to arrive with a question. Come listen, meet some of the people learning and practicing this approach, and get a feel for how I think about hypnosis and working with the subconscious.

One of the easiest mistakes to make during a hypnotherapy consultation is listening only for the answer to the question you asked.

Sometimes the important information is sitting right beside the answer.

A client might tell you when something started and casually mention what was happening in their life at the time.

They may repeat a particular phrase.

They may describe something from childhood and immediately dismiss it as irrelevant.

They may say, “I know this sounds silly, but…”

Those are moments when I'm listening very carefully.

I'm not just collecting facts.

I'm listening for associations.

I'm listening for beliefs.

I'm listening for messages they may have received.

I'm listening for what the subconscious might have learned from an experience and why the client's current response might make perfect sense in that context.

And I'm deciding whether I have enough information or whether I need to follow something further.

That's why a good consultation can't simply be a questionnaire.

The questions give you a structure.

The skill is learning what to hear in the answers.

That's a large part of what I'll be teaching in The Art of the Consultation, my two-day live workshop beginning next Sunday.

You'll also watch me conduct a real consultation while I explain my thinking, and then you'll have the opportunity to practice the process yourself.

One of the most interesting things about remote viewing is the difference between perceiving and interpreting.

Suppose an impression comes up of something cold, hard, smooth and metallic.

The moment the conscious mind says, "It's a refrigerator," you've moved from describing information to interpreting it.

And you could be completely wrong.

Maybe it's a filing cabinet.

Maybe it's a piece of machinery.

Maybe it's something else entirely.

This is one of the skills Ozz teaches in Ike Loa.

The idea is to learn to recognize the fragments of information that arise and describe them before the analytical mind rushes in and tries to turn them into a story.

His system progresses through target selection, intention, initial information gathering, sensory information, temporal orientation and structured reporting.

You don't have to take anyone's word for it. Ozz has sample sessions and other material on his website so you can see what the process actually looks like.

The next group begins September 12.

Have you ever wondered why you can know exactly what you should do and still not do it?

Or why a reaction can make absolutely no sense logically, but you keep having it anyway?

That's where the subconscious gets interesting.

For more than 25 years, when someone has come to me with anxiety, a habit, poor sleep, lack of confidence, overthinking, or another pattern they want to change, I've been less interested in the symptom itself than in one question:

Why does this response make sense to the subconscious?

Because usually, it does.

Something happened.

Something was learned.

An association was made.

A belief developed.

Or a response accomplished something useful at one point in the person's life.

The problem is that the subconscious doesn't automatically update itself simply because time passes or circumstances change.

So we can end up fighting a response without ever understanding why it's there.

On September 17, I'm teaching a free live class called:

Why You Still Feel Stuck: Symptoms Are Clues, Not Problems

We're going to play detective.

I'll give you real-life examples and client situations, and we'll work backwards from the symptom to see if we can figure out what the subconscious learned.

Then I'll show you how I use what we uncover to begin creating a personalized hypnotic argument.

This class is open to everyone.

You don't need to know anything about hypnosis.

Come because you're curious about your own patterns, because you're interested in how the subconscious works, because you're considering learning hypnotherapy, or because you already work with people and want another way of looking at behavior.

We start a new Inside the Session series tonight at 6:00 PM Pacific, and there’s still time to join us.

Tonight you’ll watch me begin with a real client and a real goal. Over the series, you’ll follow the work from consultation through three hypnosis sessions and see how the information we gather begins shaping what happens next.

Before each session I’ll teach, afterwards we’ll break down what you observed, and throughout the series I’ll share my notes, thinking process and supporting materials.

If you’ve ever wished you could simply sit beside an experienced hypnotherapist and see how all the pieces come together, that’s what Inside the Session is designed to give you.

Open to Horizon students, graduates and hypnotherapists trained elsewhere.

$247 CAD for the complete four-meeting series.

We begin tonight.

Tomorrow night we begin a new Inside the Session client series.

Over four meetings, you’ll follow one real client from their initial consultation through three hypnosis sessions.

I’ll teach before each session, you’ll watch the actual client work, and afterwards we’ll break down what happened and why.

One of my favorite parts of teaching this way is that I can’t tell you ahead of time exactly what you’re going to learn.

Real clients don’t follow lesson plans.

They say unexpected things. New information comes up. Sometimes what seemed important during the consultation becomes less important once we begin working. Sometimes one sentence changes the direction of a session.

Learning how to respond to those moments is part of becoming a good hypnotherapist.

We begin tomorrow, September 2, at 6:00 PM Pacific.

You don’t need to be one of my students to join us, and recordings and teaching materials are included.

Investment: $247 CAD

One of the most useful questions you can learn to ask yourself as a hypnotherapist is:

“Why would this make sense to the subconscious?”

A client may consciously know there is no reason to be anxious.

They may know the relationship they're in now is different from the one they were in ten years ago.

They may know they don't need food, ci******es, alcohol, procrastination, overthinking, or whatever else they've been using to feel better.

But simply knowing something consciously doesn't necessarily update what the subconscious learned.

So instead of looking at a behavior and asking, “How do I make this stop?” I want to understand why it started.

What happened?

What did the person learn?

What association was made?

What did this response accomplish at the time?

What might the subconscious still believe it is accomplishing now?

Once you start asking those questions, behavior that initially seemed irrational can begin to make a lot more sense.

And once it makes sense, you have somewhere to go with the work.

These are the kinds of conversations we have during my Ask Me Anything sessions.

There isn't a predetermined lesson. People bring their questions, client situations and ideas, and we follow them wherever they take us.

Our next AMA is Monday, September 7 at 6:00 PM Pacific.

You don't have to be one of my students or even a trained hypnotherapist to attend. If you're curious about the Whole Brain Hypnotherapy approach, you're welcome to come listen, ask questions and see how we think through this work.
