Based on sharing this during the Content Personality Club, and some very helpful feedback, I cut this version down. And if I go to the new title, I’ll probably cut the entertainment hypnosis paragraphs further. At most, I’ll give this thing one more go around, before I finally get it out the door. It’s time to get to the next one. 🙂

Here is the latest version of my PSA. V6 if you can believe it. Hopefully, it is getting cleaner & clearer.
PSA – I Have a Love/Hate Relationship w/ Entertainment Hypnosis
– I hate when an entertainment hypnotist uses the model and myth kept alive by so many movies, books, and videos that the hypnotist control someone’s mind. It makes people a…Read More![Profile Photo]()

– PSA – I Have a Love/Hate Relationship w/ Stage Hypnosis
– I hate when a stage hypnotist uses the model and myth that they take control someone’s mind.
– The truth is I can’t snap my fingers and make people do anything I want. If I could I would be on a yacht in the south of France. And yet, the myth is so strong, that I’ve had people run a…Read More![Profile Photo]()

“And yet I love….” is distracting to me as a reader because it makes me do a 180 degree turn.
Instead, why not stay and drill down your point, “The truth is…. What’s really happening during hypnosis is….imagination, different version, playing hooky from customary behaviors, superpower…” (lovely stuff). I appreciate the stage = it’s…Read More-

JoelElfman, I love your example of the work you do with your clients compared to the entertainment show you see on a stage.

I enjoyed your take on what’s real/illusion as I’d expect that’s the general hangup for people. I absolutely get your love for what you do…I think perhaps add a bit more on that counter side so it’s not about trying to sound convincing – but why the misunderstandings really peeve you off. Again, well written, but I’m not feeling the…I guess…Read More

Love it! The Lara Croft bit was the part that “really took me there.” It painted a picture in my mind, and it will be the part that will resonate with me throughout the day. 🙂

PSA – 1st draft. I will probably end up doing this as a video.

– On the one hand, I hate when a stage hypnotists uses the model and myth that they take control someone’s mind.

Awesome job, Joel! I struggle to speak to the difference between hypnotherapy and stage hypnosis daily, and you’ve done such an articulate job with great engagement. This difference is what everyone wonders about, so I love that you tackled it!

Joel, I see a lot of good content here, and I invite your to make it clearer to an unfamiliar reader, like me.

continued….pressed wrong key. Title: “My love/hate relationship,…?”. #1 Say what it is: If it’s not about control, and people do have a choice, what is it about? #2 Give context for understanding: “The truth is… ” move this up, dive deeper – help reader appreciate the distinction and point of view you are asserting. #3 Counter example:…Read More

Hi Joel, don’t know why my prior comment isn’t showing up here, but this reads very well to me. You dive deeper into the approach and process you take with your clients and I understood the value of what you have to offer clearly; and the tone is assuringly encouraging. Bravo! Say, would you give me some feedback on my latest video blog? I posted…Read More
