Self Hypnosis Tapes: Good, Bad or Indifferent?

The quality of self hypnosis tapes comes down to 3 main factors:

    1. The recording quality
    2. The delivery by the hypnotist
    3. The type of hypnosis used

If you haven't bought self hypnosis tapes before, or don't know much about hypnosis itself, you would be forgiven for thinking that all self hypnosis tapes are the same.

But of course, as with most products, the quality can vary wildly.

We should be able to assume that 1. is taken care of. With modern recording equipment, it is relatively simple to produce high quality sound. All our self hypnosis tapes are recorded in a studio by a professional sound engineer. As are our self hypnosis downloads.

Factor 2. is more difficult to get right. Many people (yes, even hypnotists!) suddenly turn into Mickey Mouse when sat in front of a microphone! Practice and experience is needed to give a natural performance. And of course, this is extremely important when recording self hypnosis tapes, where so much relies on how you say things!

And finally, 3. - the type of hypnosis used. If you have bought self hypnosis tapes in the past, you may think that all hypnosis is of the 'you are feeling more and more sleepy' variety.

To the contrary, modern indirect hypnosis is an artful, subtle process using many hidden language patterns, voice inflection, implication, metaphor and other techniques.

This approach is sometimes known as 'Ericksonian' hypnosis. Milton Erickson was a highly accomplished and effective psychiatrist who used a conversational hypnotic style. This approach is much more subtle, flexible and refined than the more directive methods of his forebears. It utilises the unconscious aspects of communication to allow the subject to enter trance rapidly and comfortably without the common worry "Am I doing this right?"

Good self hypnosis tapes will allow you to enter trance without asking you to extend any effort, other than listening to them.
