  • "Will I still owe you $ if I am not able to be regressed with your assistance?" My response.

    Donna McMurtry Posted by Donna McMurtry on 2018-09-26 at 12:27 PM

    I know this topic has been discussed before. I just got this message/inquiry on this forum. I took the time to email a lengthy response and thought I’d share it here, in case it’s helpful. Feel free to copy/paste/personalize. All of you long-time Super-Practioners out there, please add the things you say. When I was new, I would’ve had no idea how to respond. My main message to new practitioners when you hear this is 1. Be Honest. 2. Offer what you have. (examples below). 3. We always have each other’s backs—whether new, experienced or in-between.

    Original message;
    Hello, I had an experience with a QHHT practitioner within the last week but I was not able to be hypnotized.
    The main reason for my scheduling of any QHHT session is for the healing through hypnosis.
    Will I still owe you $ if I am not able to be regressed with your assistance?

    My response;

    Hi,
    First of all, I am sorry you did not have the experience, or receive the healing you were looking for in your session. I offer you compassion and light for that frustration. My response is going to be looooong, so buckle in ?.
    First; Yes, many practitioners charge clients for the time they spent trying to help them, much as other healing modalities like massage therapists, doctors, counselors, etc. do. Even when the client’s healing expectations are not met.
    Because every person is vastly different, what it takes to facilitate healing for them can vary… a lot.
    A good example is the Naturopathic Doctor I see. Sometimes she has to try quite a few different things to address my healing needs, and it can take several appointments, and working on the layers before we get to the core issue. I pay her for her time even if what we tried did not provide relief or healing. I hope that makes sense to you.

    At the same time, I totally hear your frustration of spending money on something and not getting what you thought/hoped you paid for. I get it.
    Sometimes it’s the inexperienced practitioner, sometimes its client blocks, and often, the combination of both.

    Here are some truths/misconceptions about hypnosis;
    -Hypnosis is simply a brainwave state. (Theta or Alpha if you want to look them up)
    It basically feels like deep relaxation. There is no “feeling” of being hypnotized, other than being relaxed and open enough that you can access other realms of consciousness.
    -Hypnosis is not amnesia.
    People who don’t remember what happened under hypnosis, were programmed to not remember. Stage hypnotists give suggestions (program) the individual to forget, or not be aware of what they’re doing, so they can get them to step out of their comfort zone and do funny things. Healing hypnotists don’t program for that because we want you aware of what’s happening, and to remember it. It does fade like a dream for most people but that’s why we give you a recording of the session.
    -Hypnosis (the ability to get into, or maintain the theta brainwave state) can be blocked.
    Pharmaceuticals and various substances, like even caffeine, can jack with the brain functions. We can have emotional blocks (like fear), physical blocks (like intense pain), mental blocks (like not being able to give up control) and even spiritual blocks (inability to connect with our inner light/higher self/source). Also, someone who does not want to be hypnotized, cannot be. The person must always be in complete agreement to the process from beginning to end, so if that level of trust for the practitioner is not there, mistrust will be a block. Most of these blocks can be worked with depending on the knowledge/experience of the practitioner. It can take time and practice to remove the blocks.
    A good “test” for being able to be hypnotized is meditation. If you can meditate (hold focus, or calm the mind) then being hypnotized should come easy.
    -Hypnotherapists have all levels of “tools” in they’re toolkits.
    Like every profession, there are beginners to advanced. Some of them keep learning and growing and adding tools, some don’t. Again, trust matters. The deeper the rapport and trust between practitioner and client the deeper of trance state the client will relax into.

    I charge $200 for a session and yes, I charge even when the client doesn’t get what they came for. This has happened twice for me. The clients left with an understanding of what needs to happen/change in order for them to be hypnotized, and plenty of ways to practice/work with/find healing for what the block was. We will try again when they are ready.

    If you’re interested, this weekend I have a group regression scheduled. I co-lead groups with my sister Diana and my friend Holly, both of whom are also QHHT practitioners. It costs $25 and I do a bit of teaching and practicing with visualizing before we get people into the trance state. It might be a great way for you to work with relaxing into trance states and see if you can get some info and healing without spending so much time/money. At the least, you could meet me and two other practitioners and ask all the questions you want and see if you want to do a session with one of us. Here is the link to it on Eventbrite. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/quantum-connection-groups-pastother-life-review-tickets-49629296562
    I’d love to meet you and hear more of your story. Also, if you search “Quantum Connection Groups” on Eventbrite you can see the other types of sessions we offer. One of them is Healing Focused, though healing can happen in all.
    I have a free podcast. I recommend start with my intro and going forward bc the topics build on each other.

    Here is a basic article from the Quantum Connections fb page on “What is QHHT/BQH” that might provide more understanding.

    My cell is below and I’m happy to talk to you. (So you don’t have to read anymore never-ending emails!!!)
    I hope this helps a bit.
    Love and Blessings to you my brother,

    Years ago I took my feverish child to the Emergency Room, long wait, diagnosis of ear infection. Held my sick child in a long line at the pharmacy for the antibiotic prescription. Took my sick child to the doctor the next day to find out she didn’t have an ear infection and that it was a virus. Would have loved to have my money back for all of those.

    It’s funny how people think hypnosis is time/money spent that is negotiable after the fact and not a wrong diagnosis at the doctor’s office.

    Thanks for your write up Donna. So true!

    Phenomenal post thank you! My
    only concern unless I missed it, is that somnambulist clients won’t remember because that’s the frequency they reach, not because they were specifically trained to do so by the hypnosis practitioner. Though we can do such a wonderful job during interview inserting subliminals. Dolores talked about somnambulist clients in her books. She didn’t come across too many of them though. Thank you again and blessings! ♥️

    Interesting post. My policy is different – I ask A LOT OF QUESTIONS before I even agree to work with a client, especially a client who had a negative experience with another practitioner… I need to understand what went wrong there, why they did not go into a trance state. I agree that we should charge for our time and effort, not for a healing result, otherwise, any doctor or psychotherapist will end up in a bankruptcy. However, I do promise my clients an EXPERIENCE and INSIGHTS in the session with me, if they can’t see/hear/feel/know anything at all – I only ask for a donation for my time, but I do not spend more than an hour doing hypnosis with them, I am not as patient as Dolores. I had several clients complaining about other QHHT practitioners torturing them for 3 hours when they could not see a thing. If they can’t see anything – either they have aphantasia, and can’t visualize, and have to use other senses, or they had no rapport with a practitioner or a language barrier, or they have a block or an entity. Or a previous practitioner was a newbie. Or this is a left brain male in IT occupation, I do not like working with them anyway, and if they already had a bad experience – I sure do not want to work with them! In any case – they will have to give me a lot of info before I will reply to them, I would be very vague and just say that I decide this issue on “case by case basis”, but they have to give me more information before I will agree to work with them at all. I do not have any “money back guarantees” on my websites for sure, but in some cases I might agree to do a donation or a reduced price…I had great sessions with Russian clients who can not see a thing in sessions with American practitioners, even though they spoke English… just could not trust anybody who was not Russian…Abused women who could not have good sessions with men. Wiccans who freaked out when “God” was mentioned (not Zeus or Shiva, but that “horrible patriarchal deity”) There are so many things which can break rapport…sometime I just know why they could not get there and feel like helping them, in this case, I will offer them some kind of a deal…
