Due to an increase in demand for my Hypnosis Services, I have had to up my rate, which is still lower than most Hypnotists by far, and that’s because I don’t do hypnosis as my main income, or even a very relevant part of my income at all.
This is fortunate for those who do use my services, because since hypnosis cures most issues far faster than psychotherapy, any hypnotist that is any good, will have to charge quite high fees.
Most people are not aware that both Freud and Jung were hypnotists before the practice of psychotherapy was “invented” primarily by Freud. And Freud admitted in his private diaries that the whole point of psychology and his brand of psychotherapy was for it to take a long time so he could fleece his victims patients and become wealthy.
Freud was not a very good hypnotists, and this is why he invented an alternate method that would result is more income as well as a level of (largely undeserved) fame, which was his other primary purpose in life. Freud was obsessed with leaving his mark, being famous, and thought of as a great man. These thoughts too, he admitted in his writings.
In any case, the point is that hypnosis, when done properly, tends to be a much faster way of dealing with any issue a person may be trying to resolve.
The unfortunate situation with regard to hypnosis is that since it is impossible to regulate, because ultimately it is done via talking, and you can’t prevent people from speaking to each other, the level and quality of hypnotist you encounter can vary a great deal, and, as with psychotherapists, unfortunately, most are not ideal.
Most hypnotists are “qualified” by a simple week-end course and have few or no clients to speak of. And in great part, their initial reasons for doing hypnosis have often to do with their imagining that they will be able to mind-control everyone from their friends, to their enemies, and random hot girls they bump into at the local supermarket. This aspect too was fuelled by the mostly nonsensical PUA attitudes that I have been essentially exposing for more than a decade now.
Partly this is due to the fact that I had already mastered hypnosis before I came across the PUA stuff, as I have explained before. And my interest in hypnosis was purely personal to begin with and I in fact spent at least a year and mostly more like two of them, doing hypnosis only on myself. It is only after I experienced very deep levels of self-hypnosis that I began to do it for others. At first it was just for friends and work colleagues who asked me unprompted, but after about a hundred people or so I decided that if people were finding it useful (which they were) and kept asking me, I needed to charge at least a nominal fee to cover my time. I have now done dozens of sessions online via Skype and I have seen no appreciable difference in quality or effects for my clients, so I have moved my prices back “up” to what I had them at in 2008. I had halved them because I had not done hypnosis via remote Skype sessions before, but after a year or more of doing them, I can tell that there is no drop in effectiveness, so I have returned my prices to the ones that were still about half of what more mainstream hypnotists charged back in 2008.
I also need to point out that although I don’t like making aggrandising claims wherever fees are concerned, having worked with, and met, and seen, and tested many hypnotists over the years, my reduced prices are not in any way a reflection of my abilities, since in general, I would classify my ability in this regard, without a doubt in the top 5% of professional hypnotists, (that is people who do it as their primary means of making a living) and in all fairness I am certain I would be within the top 1% of them.
But as I said, I am not really interested in making my living from hypnosis. It is something I enjoy doing on a limited basis. And that mostly because it produces good to excellent results for those who have at times failed to resolve life-long issues by any other means.
As I am not good at self-marketing, I have not bothered to update many of the testimonials with more recent ones, but I will begin to perhaps ask new clients to leave me one if they are happy with the results they achieved.
In any case, if you want to have a hypnosis session, I suggest you get one before the inevitable increase in requests over time prompts me to raise the prices again, and to levels more in line with those of people who live off of this skill.
