Revisiting Mesmer, Mesmerism and all that!

This episode we chat with Nicole Wackernagel and Rick Collingwood on the topic of Mesmer - and all the myths, fabrications and misunderstandings surrounding this 'father' of Modern hypnosis. Nicole's Hypnosis school is located in Frauenfeld ( where Mesmer did much of his work)- though she was only vaguely aware of Mesmer at first. Rick Collingwood (Australia) is one of the few recognized teachers of Mesmerism worldwide. And when we did an interview with him last year - he mentioned Frauenfeld as a place he visited because of the Mesmer connection - and also mentioned he would love to do a training there - but what’s the chances of that ever happening!! So what did we do - connected these two amazing people Nicole and Rick and they are going to hold the first training in Mesmerism in Frauenfeld - probably the first ever. May 2020. This is my chat with them as they prepare for the Workshop and what Mesmer did and did not do. And his true impact on the world of Hypnosis
