Delving further into the experiential mysteries of hypnosis, host Brad Arner and expert hypnotist Shalom Tzvi Shore continue unpacking the step-by-step journey of a hypnotherapy session. Shalom explains how he guides clients into a relaxed, trance state through progressive muscle relaxation and “resource building” visualizations. He customizes prompts based on intuition rather than rigid scripts. Shalom emphasizes creating space for clients’ inner experiences to unfold, only steering lightly to deepen immersion.

Listeners gain insight into reading subtle signs of trance and adjusting inductions accordingly. Shalom reveals his unique hypnotherapy approach “hypnosis assisted healing,” which diverges from most modalities during “the work” phase. He argues any therapist could boost their practice by adding simple hypnotic relaxation beforehand.

This glimpse “behind the scenes” showcases Shalom’s relationship-based style. By honoring clients’ inner wisdom and control, he aims to facilitate empowering breakthroughs rapidly compared to mainstream talk therapy alone. Shalom and Brad unpack key differences between hypnosis and meditation as pathways to altered consciousness.
