Where do you go if you still want advanced training but don’t want to get stuck in a class with…

To Followup or Not to Followup?
by Brian David Phillips •
An interesting comment was made at the Hypnosis Technique Exchange about whether or not folks should do followups (short-term and long-term) regarding their hypnosis practice. One view is that when we do followups it provides excellent information about effectiveness but it might also create a sense of fear that our session failed. I hadn’t looked…
