Live Q&A: NLP Training Tasters, Zoom Inclusion, Stroke Recovery & Anxiety ToolsA live-streamed Q&A features the host on holiday in Scotland with team member Tanya Bunting, who reports on Steve being in London with Paul McKenna and Alessandro Moira running a “Change Your Life in Seven Days” seminar and successfully including virtual Zoom attendees. They answer questions about marketing an NLP Practitioner course, recommending longer tasters than one hour, charging rather than offering free intros, tailoring content to the audience (especially businesspeople), and “over-delivering” to create customer astonishment. They discuss supporting stroke recovery with positive language and daily 7-11 breathing, troubleshooting when breathing “causes anxiety,” and addressing panic/fight-or-flight through regular practice. Other topics include working with children via storytelling and NLP techniques, exploring secondary gain in symptoms, being appropriately authoritative with clients, and handling dissociation and trauma, including concerns about reassociation, swish patterns, and timeline-style approaches.00:00 Going Live Glitches00:54 Scotland Update and Seminar Recap02:27 Running Hybrid Zoom Rooms04:50 Marketing NLP Tasters10:20 Pricing Intros No Freebies13:39 Overdeliver Customer Astonishment16:24 Stroke Recovery Expectations23:39 7-11 Breathing Anxiety Fixes26:52 Panic Attacks Post Stroke Plan33:36 Child Emetophobia Case34:17 Secondary Gain Clues36:10 Bug Phobia Holiday Story39:20 Be Authoritative With Clients41:12 Autistic Cambridge Aspirations47:37 Storytelling Hidden Hypnosis49:56 Trauma Dissociation Questions55:10 Timeline Resource Exercise56:20 Closing Chat And Farewell

They also announce a September 22 masterclass led by Tina on using hypnosis and NLP to support fertility and infertility, sharing IVF experiences and a case where relaxation led to natural conception. In Q&A, they advise on working with someone who escaped a cult by clarifying outcomes and addressing beliefs, assess stop-smoking readiness through language and commitment, recommend simplifying admin with templates and basic processes ahead of economic uncertainty, explain how to anchor effectively on Zoom, caution against removing pain signals for osteoarthritis while using visualization and safe adjustments, and outline approaches to tics/Tourette’s by reducing stress and building conscious control.00:00 Live Welcome and Weather00:58 Busy Autumn Plans02:14 Anniversary and Joshua News04:04 Practitioner Training October05:15 Master Practitioner Preview07:34 Affiliate Program Launch08:33 September Masterclass Fertility10:39 IVF Stories and Body Wisdom14:53 Client Q&A Cult Recovery23:21 Stop Smoking Commitment Test33:58 Business Processes for Recession36:51 Time Efficiency Math37:39 Kill Parasitic Admin38:09 Simple Systems Templates38:37 Software Tools Tradeoffs41:23 Paperless Admin Workflow43:04 Eliminate Delegate Automate44:17 Anchoring On Zoom45:58 Zoom Trance Techniques52:06 Knee Pain Duty Of Care54:53 Visualization For Recovery01:01:48 Tics Tourette Patterns01:04:05 NLP Control Strategies01:11:21 Wrap Up And Goodbye
Nested Loops, Edutainment & Scaling Your Practice (Plus Hypnotic Fertility Masterclass)Two hosts reconnect after technical issues, with Tina joining from Florida during an NLP trainers’ training with Richard Bandler and team, where participants are practicing nested loops and anchoring. They discuss how nested loops and metaphors embed learning, share examples from Eddie Izzard and Bandler’s teaching style, and suggest a future masterclass on the topic. Tina previews an upcoming masterclass on hypnotic fertility, sharing a past case and her strategy for supporting unexplained fertility and medical interventions, with dates to be confirmed around 22 September. They promote newsletters, trainings, the Secret Agents of Change membership (monthly skills and business sessions, recordings, CPD points), and an affiliate program opening 1 August. Q&A covers making presentations fun via “edutainment,” scaling with group coaching and clear economics, pricing without mind-reading demographics, managing incongruent client goals in affairs/addictions through deeper diagnostics, and approaches to parenting change work.00:00 Tech Issues and Hello00:54 Florida Weather and Air Con01:46 Orlando Training Update03:00 Nested Loops Explained04:31 Bandler Stories and Learning07:30 Next Masterclass Hypnotic Fertility11:21 Newsletters and Membership Perks14:56 Courses Retreats and Affiliates19:25 Q1 Making Presentations Fun29:41 Q2 Scaling Your Practice32:56 Value Ladder Scaling33:41 Group Offers That Worked35:40 Pricing Maths Not Vanity37:01 Charge For Value41:50 Zoom Changes Marketing44:25 Incongruent Client Goals48:55 Deep Diagnostics First56:34 Parenting Change Work01:03:57 Therapist Ethics Boundaries01:09:20 Closing Plans Goodbye

Reframing Mastery Practice Group: Suggestion in Trance, Limiting Beliefs & Humorous Reframes (Steve Crabb & Tina Taylor)Steve Crabb and Tina Taylor host a live practice group focused on reframing mastery, beginning with global attendee check-ins and Steve’s upcoming trip to Crete amid an earthquake and tsunami warning used as a warm-up reframe. Steve asks, “What is the purpose of suggestion in trance?” and frames it as bypassing conscious limitations to evoke potential and create better mental maps, citing Erickson’s view of suggestibility as receiving impulses and the mind’s idio-plastic ability to change. He guides an ecological reframing exercise: identify a limiting belief, trace its origins and positive intention, uncover secondary gains, consider future costs, and generate alternative perspectives and options (requisite variety). Tina then teaches reframing with humor and respectful teasing, shares examples (including charging for “tea and biscuits,” smoking/weight-loss reframes, and a spider phobia breakthrough), and participants practice in small groups, reporting insights and shifts afterward.00:00 Welcome and Roll Call01:31 Holiday Prep and Tsunami Jokes04:50 Theme Introduction Reframing Mastery05:38 Big Question Suggestion in Trance08:39 Maps of Reality and Suggestibility12:41 Eliciting Goals and Listening Deeply15:24 Limitations and Willingness to Change19:22 Guided Ecological Reframing Exercise27:35 Requisite Variety and New Options32:15 Debrief Insights and Blog Mention34:54 Tina on Reframing with Humor41:12 Rapport Teasing and Client Change43:31 Tea and Biscuit Pricing46:31 Smoking Limitation Reframe48:56 Spider Phobia Breakthrough53:02 Group Reframe Exercise55:09 Practice Debrief Insights01:00:35 Live Reframes on Mic01:11:05 Perfectionism and Next Steps01:11:35 Feedback and Farewell
