NLP Podcast 59: Hypnosis with Alexander Almstetter

Alexander Almstetter is an expert in business and organizational psychology and completed his psychotherapist training 20 years ago. During his training, he learned many methods and realized that hypnosis is his favorite method. Since then, he has predominantly used hypnotic and behavioral techniques in his coaching.

What is Hypnosis?

“Hypnosis is a technique that allows me to induce a trance,” explains Alexander Almstetter. “It’s about achieving an altered state of consciousness in a client, which is done through hypnotic techniques.” The client, with the help of their trainer or coach, enters a state where they can access their subconscious. In this trance state, unwanted behaviors can be changed, blockages can be resolved, or simply new ideas can be developed.

As a coach or therapist, it is important to formulate suggestions in a way that creates no resistance and allows the client to feel free. The client is invited to all instructions during hypnosis and has the choice themselves – this builds trust, allowing the client to let go and enter a trance state. In the complete podcast episode, Stephan Landsiedel and Alexander Almstetter present various types of hypnosis and discuss the pros and cons of stage hypnosis. They also provide valuable tips on how you can use practical hypnosis applications in your daily life.
