Ever felt like you were second-guessing yourself during a hypnosis session? This conversation will change how you see confidence in your hypnosis practice.Dr. Richard Nongard joins me again to unpack what it really means to build confidence as a hypnotherapist – and why that confidence is the cornerstone of both effective client sessions and a successful practice.Listen to this episode to discover practical science-backed steps you can take immediately to boost your own self-efficacy, including how to:• Effectively model the success of others in your own process• Implement real feedback the right way so that you build confidence instead of reinforcing self-doubt• Integrate somatic approaches for deeper client success (which means more word-of-mouth referrals!)Richard is a leader I’ve trusted for years, both in training and collaboration. He holds doctorates in leadership and psychology, has spent over three decades guiding therapists and hypnotists, and continues to shape our industry through teaching, research, and the ICBCH. If you’ve ever seen him present or trained with him, you already know why he’s the person I want sharing these lessons with you plus partner together for the upcoming ICBCH Train-the-Trainer program.Richard not only brings the latest research from his own dissertation and decades in the field, but he also shares the honest, personal side, the joy that comes from doing the work, the lessons learned from tough sessions, and how ongoing training actually makes sessions smoother (and gets you those five-star reviews). Whether you’re new or experienced, there’s real value here to grow your confidence in your hypnotherapy practice – listen now. “When both the hypnotist and the client have high levels of confidence, the outcomes are more favorable and more likely to be what is consistent with expectations.” ~Dr. Richard Nongard Today on Work Smart Hypnosis:· Why progressive muscle relaxation and other “simple” inductions actually deliver powerful results· How the newest research into somatic therapy and mind-body connection impacts what we do in hypnosis· What makes confidence the heart of every successful session, for you and your client· How to use Albert Bandura’s model of self-efficacy, role models, feedback, and social persuasion· The value of observing great practitioners and continuing education for expanding your skillset· Why your mistakes (and tough sessions) are just as important for building confidence as your successes· How emotional self-awareness and cultivating joy can set you apart as a therapist· Why teaching others and sharing your expertise can strengthen your practice (and clarify your own best strategies)Resources Mentioned:· Become an ICBCH-certified hypnosis trainer at the next ICBCH Train the Trainer event· Discover more about the Bandura Bobo Doll Study· Read more on Albert Bandura’s work on Self-Efficacy· Get your copy of The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk· ICBCH & NGH conferences: HypnoThoughts Live, Hypnosis World, Willie Mitchell’s Conference· For academic hypnosis research to use in your marketing visit scholar.google.com · Show notes at worksmarthypnosis.com/451Connect with Dr. Richard Nongard:· For Richard's website & dissertation, visit doctorofpsychology.com· ICBCH· For Richard’s trainings & courses, visit Expert Hypnosis· Become an ICBCH Hypnotherapy Instructor Connect with Jason>> WorkSmartHypnosis >> AttractPreSoldClientsEngage & get supported in our FREE Work Smart Hypnosis community: >> https://Group.WorkSmartHypnosis.com/ Build your confidence as a hypnotist in our next live & online certification course: >> https://www.WorkSmartHypnosisLIVE.com/ Get on-demand self-guided access to Jason Linett’s hypnotherapy techniques library:>> https://www.HypnoticWorkers.com/ Grow your hypnosis business with ready-to-launch action plans:>> https://www.HypnoticBusinessSystems.com/ Benefit from weekly coaching and new ethical sales persuasion systems every month:>> https://Influence.AttractPreSoldClients.com/ Get Jason’s “Attract Pre-Sold Clients” team to rebuild & launch your new website & funnels:>> https://www.DoItNow.vip/Launch/ Subscribe & send us your valuable feedback:>> https://wshpod.com/Apple-Podcasts >> https://wshpod.com/Spotify-Podcasts >> https://wshpod.com/Amazon-Music >> https://wshpod.com/iHeartRadio >> https://wshpod.com/Pandora>> https://wshpod.com/Facebook >> https://wshpod.com/YouTube Want to work with Jason for a personal change or to launch a new project in your business?>> https://www.JasonLinett.com/Apply
