(11091) Destructive Triggers - Healing Triggers—Eliminate Cravings, Urges And ObsessionsAnthony DeMarco, FNGH, LLB, BCH, OB All-levelsWe are one 'giant memory' that reacts to many stimuli that we have witnessed, whether real or imagined, since birth and before. The passion, or the circumstances, or the repetition with which any given stimulus is presented to us, dictates the effect resulting in specific reactions that please us or empower us, or haunt us or disturb us or 'attempt' to destroy us. As hypnotists, we cannot fight fair fights with the enemy for the enemy itself never fights fairly. The subconscious mind must be befriended, beseeched, commanded, and de-programmed and re-programmed with among other hypnotic techniques, Pavlovian-style triggers and Jungian symbols that counterbalance and overcome the old, learned, harmful stimuli. One of our goals is to neutralize and improvise. Tony shall offer his further insights into the workings of the subconscious mind and the collective unconscious, the elevation of consciousness and several effective triggers to use to combat cravings, urges, obsessions and give your clients the kick-start to get up and go out and grab life by the collar and give it a good shaking.Lecture/Demonstration/Q&A

(11096) Human Mind Is Metaphor Mind—Symbolic Communication With The Unconscious Peter Blum, CI, CH IntermediateHuman beings think and speak in symbols. Learning to construct and integrate metaphors in formal and informal directives and inductions in trance is easy, since we use metaphors naturally in most of our communications. Metaphor allows the hypnotist to instruct the client indirectly in a way that avoids arousing the client's resistance because the client is the one who ultimately decides what the metaphor means, how it is interpreted and what kind of response, if any, will be forthcoming. Metaphors will be presented for analysis and review.Lecture/Discussion/Q&A

The propaganda is promoted by people who feel they are being helpful in helping the smoker. You will understand that there isn't a smoker who hasn't "quit smoking" at least once. In fact every smoker who still smokes today has "quit smoking" at least once. Some quit for hours, some for days, weeks, months or even years. If they "quit smoking" why are they still smokers. The answer is that they never "quit smoking". They "went on the wagon," and just as it only takes one drink for an alcoholic to fall of the wagon, it only takes one puff for a smoker on the wagon to fall off the wagon. Smokers who want to become nonsmokers are told to rely on constant support and take a daily "not one puff" pledge, making quitting more difficult. You will also learn of the misconceptions in weight loss programs that make it impossible to stay on the program. You will learn the easy way to reach any goal.Lecture/Discussion/Q&A

(11116) Put The Pizzazz Back In Your Sex LifePhilip Holder, CH All-levelsSex is great! Without sex there would be no human race. Enjoyment of sex was nature’s way of inspiring us to maintain our species. Do you want to help your clients (and for that matter yourself) to a better love life? Wouldn’t it be great to experience all of the excitement and passion that you’ve dreamed possible? It can happen! Sex shouldn’t be serious work. It is adult playtime. It is a time to share and enjoy closeness and pleasure. It is a fact that most people don’t enjoy sex to the maximum possible levels. Throughout our most formative years we receive mixed messages about sex and lovemaking. Each time a boy or girl is told things like “Good girls don’t do that”, or “Boys who do that are pigs”, we find our enjoyment of sex being eroded. This waking hypnotic suggestion sabotages our pleasure! As well, to enjoy sex it is important to be able “stay in the moment”, enjoying rather thinking about what happened a few moments ago, or what might happen in a few moments in the future. You CAN have a better and more satisfying sex.
