Скачать или смотреть Are You Being Suggested Without Noticing? The Art of Suggestion in Hypnotherapy | Roger Saxelby

In this episode of NZACH Talk Time, Meredith McCarthy sits down with Roger Saxelby, a highly experienced clinical hypnotherapist and respected former trainer in New Zealand, to unpack one of the most essential skills in our work: the art of suggestion.
Together we explore how suggestion is more than just words — it includes expectation, body language, tone, pacing, safety language, and the way we build trust in the therapy space. Roger shares insights from decades in the field, including how early-life suggestions shape identity, why different clients respond to different approaches, and how therapeutic language can create powerful change.
We also discuss:
Why suggestion is a normal part of everyday life (and how it shapes belief)
Direct vs indirect suggestion (and when each works best)
The shift from authoritarian hypnosis to a more client-centred approach
Why scripts can be limiting — and why listening matters
How imagination fuels change: “imagine as if…” and future pacing
Metaphor and storytelling as a way to reduce resistance
Regression work: how safety language and permissions shape outcomes
The mind–body connection and how experiences can be held in the nervous system
Advice for anyone considering training in hypnotherapy (and what makes a great practitioner)
If you’re a hypnotherapist, a student, or simply curious about how language influences the mind, you’ll get a lot from this conversation.
