In ‘The Pathway: Follow the Road to Health and Happiness’, Laura Mellin wrote: “The job of the therapist is to stay above the line when the client is below, to connect with his or her own balance when clients have lost theirs.
"You know the feeling, for you may well have it when a friend is in distress and you do what you can to be responsive to your friend rather than respond to yourself and run as far away and as fast as you can. That is hard work, and how would you know that a therapist has what it takes to do that?
"To be close to you in your imbalance yet stay loving and balanced.
“Although insight-oriented, analytic psychotherapy can have some benefit in some situations, my experience has been that the more analytical the therapy the more stalled in his or her development the program participant may become. It’s hard to play both sides of the fence. You either decide that you’re going to figure it out or you decide that you’re going to hold yourself accountable for doing the best you can to stay in balance in the moment. It’s very hard to do both.
“The truth is that people like to gain insight into their problems. It gives them a sense of security and control, and doing so is far easier than mastering the skills. Their assumption is often that if they just understood the problem, it would somehow change. This is much like people believing that if they just knew what to eat, they would eat it, or if they just knew why they got angry, they could stop their rages! As my dear friend Jim Billings, a gifted minister and psychologist says, “If you have a nickel and a truckload of insight, you only have five cents.”
“Another route to revision of the feeling brain is to discover love.
"In the wordless harmony between two people, the resonance of their emotional cores, is a potent balancing force that we unconsciously seek when we are hurting, lost, or alone. Because one mind has the power to revise another simply by its repeated regard for the other, our relationships can either heal or harm us in ways that we may not fully appreciate.
"When we look into the eyes of a loving other repeatedly, we become attuned to that person and find our emotional balance improves as that repeated contact has the power to change our feeling brain one synapse at a time. Moreover, our closeness with someone for whom we have the emotion of love but who is not responsive to us can have an equally powerful effect that fosters imbalance in us.”
The Devil’s Therapy is Hypnotherapy. It's about healing.
And all healing is self healing.
Regression hypnotherapy is about facilitating self healing.
This isn’t merely a job – it’s a calling.
As a regression Hypnotherapist you are naturally therapeutic because you recognize the healer is within. Therefore, you engage in ongoing personal development. You want to know the territory of the subconscious mind intimately in order to act confidently and competently as a guide to others.
Because you recognize experience as the best teacher you do your own work - the work of self-healing. That is what empowers you to hold a balanced field of loving energy for the client in distress.
You invest in ongoing professional development. You are focused on mastering your expertise as a therapeutic hypnosis practitioner through experiential training.
And you are involved in a professional community that offers support through a mutual peer mentoring process.
Where’s the book?
I’m in the final phase of editing. The Devil’s Therapy: From Hypnosis to Healing is nearing completion so stay tuned!
Where's Wendie?
I make my home on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. But I'll be winging my way to Massachusetts to teach hypnosis professionals, among other things, the foundation of effective regression hypnotherapy - dream work.
Devilish, I know.
