Emotion and Soma Focused Hypnotherapy or Neuro Affective Programming?

Two great names to describe the importance of getting beneath our clients verbal narrative.

Susan provides an evidence based approach to help hypnotherapists work with the three fundamental subconscious processes that are often ignored in solution focused hypnotherapy.

#1. Our clients Emotional Hardware – the seven primary processes described by Jaak Pankseep, the affective neuroscientist.

#2 Our clients Attachment Software and Internal Working Model developed by John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth.

#3 Our Threat Appraisal System from the work of Magda Arnold, Carl Rogers and Dr Sue Johnson.

Without the knowledge and skills to work with these processes, hypnotherapists run the risk of losing market share and connection with clients. Gen Z and Millennial clients have become disenchanted with old fashioned, outdated models of hypnotherapy. They are tuning into podcasts such as the Huberman Lab, Diary of a CEO, Modern Wisdom, The Resetters Podcast, Being Well and many more. The are versed in the work of Pankseppian neuroscience, attachment psychology and the legacy of trauma that is carried in our attachment body language and autonomic survival responses. Susan cuts though the science to get to the heart of the practical way to update your practice and deliver a more authentic, slower form of hypnotherapy that is truly client centred.
