What do you all think about Scott Jansen - Conversational Hypnosis Training channel, his perspective and approach? I just found his content tonight and started watching. He specializes in helping people be successful in their Hypnotherapy businesses.

Hey everyone, I haven't been on here for a while and it's been an up and down time recently. The bad... well I was recently with no warning made redundant from my pretty good sales position just over a month ago. This wasn't down to anything I had done it was just business as the sales team was all let go of. So that was a gut punch. Now onto the not just good but very good! After asking in the group sometime ago and asking both Ryan and Jordan specially about the steps they took to becoming a hypnotherapist (Thanks by the way guys!) I bit the bullet! I found somewhere that is somewhat local to me where I can do the course in person. I know now we can do a lot of things online and it's just as good (I did a few good courses myself like this) however I felt this needed an in person type learning. I talked to the tutor and looked at the modules of the course. They all sound awesome, there's even a section on setting up a business after you know what you are doing of course. The class will begin in September this year and take place in York if all the spots get filled. Which shouldn't be an issue as they only do smaller classes which is good. I already have some idea of hypnosis and how it works thanks to Ryan and the community/content. I did train to be a counsellor years ago and couldn't go along with it as I didn't belive the methods were effective enough to learn it at degree level and get in all that student debt. I feel like everything is coming around full circle as i wouldnt of discovered hypnosis if i had not made that decision years ago. This kind of proves that if you are looking for answers you will eventually find them as everyone around me thought I made a terrible mistake not pursuing counselling at the time. But I knew in my gut it wasn't right for me. Even though being unemployed at the moment sucks, this too shall pass. So if you are struggling and seem a bit lost keep pushing forward. You are already further along than most just being in here!

It is not that we are victims. Forget the victimisation by losers. Be a winner because you ARE a winner in yourself. TURN IT OUT IN PEACE! Hehehe, unavoidable question in that context: Is Andrew Tate a winner, and how strong is he in himself? I am very keen on reading your views!

I’m starting to notice that the more I use self hypnosis, the less likely I want to listen to depressing music, the news, and I want to avoid toxic people even more.

I talked to my mother today. She come down after my brother same. I am keeping my distances. My mother and I talked, she asked if I want to spend time with her and my brother. I was offended because they always put me down. I can go on and on, but as we were talking my mother was 'justifying' the pass as reasons to continue with there behaviour. My mother was cry a bit, got angry a bit and it sounded manipulative with a lot of lying. But that could be a bias (don't know) it's so much of the same thing with out any changes, so I just assume. She left upset. One thing about the conversation was her taking me to a private school and getting my uncle to make me study, which sounds like a good thing. Her bringing this up today felt like 'I did this for you, so you owe me' type of thing. It feels like she believes she has the reins to my life and she's upset because I don't see it that way. She made me do the 'empathetic thing' about her and her and my brothers situation. It feels manipulative but I don't know. She said "you don't tell me anything" and began to cry. There have been plenty of times when I opened up to her and she put me down. And she told me that! But I told her about my studies in Cyber security and the opportunities it comes with it. She did nod yes when I reminded her. Overall, its like she can't see pass her own nose. I tried to explain my perspective and she not listening. She made me feel that what I went through matters not and the efforts I've done without them matters not. Like they don't exist. During this conversation, it's like she doesn't see me, like I'm not even there. It's like I don't matter, what happened to me don't matter, what I'm doing to move forward doesn't matter, what I'm saying doesn't matter. (This reminds me of the session I had with Ryan when I opened up about not getting what I want and feeling bad for wanting what I want). I wanted to share and be open. Any tips/advise please? It would be appreciated. Sharing this helps me uncover and understand things better, so I can do better at doing the Dive to the Five and self hypnosis sessions.
