305 - Ep. 163–Are Poetry And Hypnosis The Same?!
April is Poetry Month and today we explore the connections between poetry and a hypnotic therapy script - and how YOU can use BOTH in Coaching.
I share several poems in this episode and read some sample Trance Scripts to illustrate the similarities.
One poem I read is by David Whyte who's website is www.davidwhyte.com.
Another is by E. E. Cummings (1894–1962)
Another poem I read comes to us courtesy of the poet Julie Flanders. Julie is also a founding member of the band "October Project" and writes all of their lyrics and sings in the band.
Julie is posting a new poem everyday this month on the October Project's Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/octoberproject/
They are also sponsoring their 6th annual poetry contest.

278 - Episode 136 - What I Learned from Dave (Dobson). Dr. Harlan Kilstein and Dr. Clifford Saunders.
In this first of, hopefully, many conversations about Dr. Dave Dobson and his work, I'm joined by "repeat offenders" Dr. Harlan Kilstein and Dr. Clifford Saunders. Dr. Dave Dobson was the developer of O.T.C.C., or 'Other-Than-Conscious Communication." He was a great hypnotherapist some compared to Milton Erickson. However he has not left a huge footprint in the field due to his reticence to have his work be misrepresented. Today I am joined by two gentlemen who, like me, were "repeat offenders" in Dobson's joking term, meaning we went to more than one of Dave's "Funshops" over the years.
Clifford is also known as the Brain Reprogramming Doctor and you can find out more about him here: www.thebrainreprogrammingdoctor.com.
Harlan is an author, entrepreneur, and lifestyle coach and you can find out more about him here: www.harlankilstein.com.
