A Scottish Surgeon James Braid discovered hypnosis in 1842, based on research by German physician and astrologer Franz Anton Mesmer. Dr. Mesmer gave his name the phrase to ‘Mesmerize’ someone – a process of bringing one to a heightened state of focus and suggestibility. When you are in trance (which is similar to when you are watching TV, extremely focused and your senses are heightened), you are in an open state that allows you to release your conscious judgments or filters and consider alternative ways to approach problems and find new solutions.
Brett and Stephan have always been fascinated by Hypnosis and use it diligently in their coaching techniques. Brett has observed that it is challenging to find a time in one’s life when a person is not in some level of trance. Therefore, by tapping into and enhancing that trance state, and by utilizing the benefits of hypnosis, Brett and Stephan are able to speed up the achievement of desired results – the same results their clients seek.
Hypnosis, whether conducted through language patterns or metaphors, allow a client to obtain the information that they need – information that they want to accept – and to do so with ease.
