Abbreviated Transcript of Interview with Seth-Deborah Roth Eric Michaels: What is the best way to describe hypnosis? Seth-Deborah: Hypnosis is a natural state of being and is a way of reaching the subconscious mind and begins with focus. A lot of people go under hypnosis all on your own, you are driving your car and you miss the exit or kids when they are on their computer game or they are on their videos and parents are calling them to dinner and what appears to the average onlooker that they are zoned out they are actually zoned in. It's not that they can't hear their parents but it is that they are choosing to focus on something else... Eric Michaels: Could it be possible for hypnosis techniques to be used in helping build relationships. Seth-Deborah: YES! One of the things that happens because the brain really doesn't know the difference between the reality and not the reality. Our conscious mind knows the difference but not the brain so to speak so we have to tell our conscious mind, out aware mind and then we have our unconscious mind - the unaware mind. Part of that has to do with your body running your heart, your lungs etc...to keep you alive and well. Another part of that unconscious, unaware mind which is your subconscious mind, which has to do with your emotional makeup. It is primly directed to also keep you alive and well. In hypnosis, we are able to ask that subconscious mind and through imagination and through old memories... Eric Michaels: In conducting your tele-sessions what is the average client looking to accomplish through your instruction? Seth-Deborah: The way to sum it up - they are looking to get control of their life. Whether it is for smoking, eating, pain management, addictions such as alcohol and things like that, people are looking to get back control of their lives.... ------------------- Want the entire version of this eHealth Radio Episode?
