Review - Tad James - Deep Trance Phenonmena



All,


I find myself in the most wonderful hotel room and thinking I must write another blog entry whilst I can. This week I'm in Naples, Italy. Granted I'm on holiday,yet I have a few moments of down time before another excellent dinner.

After Richard Bandler's dig at Tad James on the last recording. I remembered that I had various recordings of Tad's that I need to listen to.

Once such recording is Tad's Deep Trance Phenomena Series. Much of the book on Amazon and the cassette recording that I heard are the same content.

As with many of Tad's recordings it is taken from a live training seminar. Thankfully Tad had set this up ahead of time and fully included, linguistically the 'home' listener. It is not just a recording of a seminar that the home listener can listen to and pretend to be there, yet isn't. Good Job! It makes a change to be fully included as a home listener and not as an after thought to make a quick buck.

I have heard various things about the live training that is comparable to this. In the past I believe this course was offered as a training course by the ABH. Listen to this and attend 2/3 days and be a trainer of hypnosis. Sorry that just can't cut the mustard. Yet maybe things have changed nowadays.

This recording is quite superficial in content and context. It is not meant to replace larger, longer or more in depth courses. Yet, I think it would be worth a listen to subliment your knowledge or before you attend another longer course. I know of others whom have used this and then had to give a demonstration of one the the presented inductions, using Tad's variant almost word for word, to raptious congratulations. The section on the history of hypnosis is pretty good. Tad talks about the contribution made by most of the well known hypnosis father figures and some lesser known figures.

I or many of my previous NLP instructors are from the Tad School of NLP and hypnosis. I'm certainly not convinced that this recording is by anyway enough to be a trainer of hypnosis. I think it will give you a good grounding in several different hypnotic induction techniques. Tad's use of hypnotic language patterns is very blatant. Yet, that I think is because I'm listening out for them. The lay person would not know Adam from Eve.

Tad spends time giving you the training hypnotist many examples of language patterns. Language patterns are something I am liking more and more.I am becoming far more facile with. NLP/Hypnosis language patterns was something that always scared me off. I think school may have something to do with it. Yet, something I have learnt is that it is never too later to learn the formality of language patterns. You just need to find your own 'hook' or strong enough reason that is FUN AND ENOJOYABLE, and you're away.

Throughout the recording he recommends books, books and more books. All of which you can purchase via him and the ABH. Although I've found most via Amazon or Alibris. I've gotten over my need for my books to be in sparkling new condition.

Naturally unless you are listening to the recording with somebody else or have a very willing person to help you. All, Hypnosis home study courses are let down my the fact that you can't do any of the inductions that are used and described. That is the nature of the beast. I think to improve on the product.

A DVD of the inductions and various language patterns in use should be included. Yes you can go to YouTube, yet it is just not the same and not everybody is in love with YouTube. I'm sure people are already starting to dislike all things Google, just like they did when Microsoft was becoming "all too big".

Happy Travels
