Welcome to Talk Time, where we explore the powerful world of clinical hypnotherapy. In this episode, I’m joined by the wise and wonderfully insightful Dave Mason—an experienced hypnotherapist, metaphor specialist, and valued NZAPH member.
🎙️ In this deeply honest and thought-provoking conversation, we explore:
What it really means to think like a hypnotherapist
The power of clean language and why advice-giving can get in the way
How to uncover a client’s unconscious beliefs through conversational cues
The difference between rapport and control
Why listening is the most important skill in therapy
How to join your client inside their inner world without intruding
Whether you’re a seasoned hypnotherapist, a student in training, or simply curious about the deeper layers of human behaviour—this episode offers a wealth of practical insight and gentle challenge.
💬 One of the most powerful takeaways?
“It’s never too late to have a good childhood.”
Dave reminds us why therapy isn’t a cost—it’s an investment in freedom.
