Session #175: Scott Sandland on Scriptnosis or Hypnosis

Scott Sandland joins me as we examine how as hypnotists evolve and how the practices and concepts they believe in tend to change over time. We discuss the ongoing dialogue about whether hypnosis scripts are good or bad and where he falls on the issue. He also describes the craftsmanship of the hypnotic process and how hypnotists can adapt the techniques and tools used by their colleagues and trainers to fit their own style.

Scott Sandland is an award-winning speaker, hypnotherapist, and the founder of Goal Oriented Hypnotherapy. He has received specialty certification in medical hypnosis, pain control, dental hypnosis, and addiction hypnosis. He has held a position on the Board of Directors for the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association since 2006 and has served as a mentor for its members since 2005.
