Somatic Therapy for Hypnotists
One of The Highest-Rated Class from a Recent Hypnosis Convention! You Get Instant Access to the Full Video Replay and Notes!
Something remarkable happened at a recent hypnosis conference.
I taught a class on somatic therapy — and it became one of the most highly rated presentations of the entire convention. The room was packed, the response was overwhelming, and hypnotists kept stopping me in the hallway afterward saying the same thing: “I finally understand how everything I already do fits into somatic work.”
Here’s the good news: I recorded the entire presentation so every hypnotist can benefit — and today you can get instant access for just $20.
Why Somatic Therapy? Because Hypnosis Is the OG of Somatic Therapy!
Somatic therapy is the hottest topic in the helping professions right now. Clients are searching for it. Therapists are retraining in it. Books about the body and trauma sit on the bestseller lists year after year.
But here’s what almost nobody is saying — and what I prove in this class:
Hypnotists were doing somatic work before anyone had a name for it. From Mesmer’s magnetic passes, to Charcot treating patients with hypnosis, to Jacobson’s progressive muscle relaxation, to Schultz’s autogenic training — body-based change work has always been our home turf.
When you learn the language and methods of somatic therapy, you don’t have to become something new. You simply claim what has always been yours — and open the door to the fastest-growing client demand in our profession.
What You’ll Learn in This Class
I teach six experiential somatic techniques, each one demonstrated and explained so you can use it with clients immediately:
- Progressive Muscle Relaxation (Active & Passive) — The 1929 classic that teaches clients the felt difference between tension and release. You’ll learn both versions and why this remains one of the most evidence-supported relaxation methods ever studied.
- Grounding Woven Into the Hypnotic Pattern — Stop saving grounding for the end of your session. I’ll show you how to weave grounding suggestions throughout your entire hypnotic pattern, so clients leave feeling steady, safe, and fully present.
- Autogenic Training and My GRACE Model — Self-generated warmth, heaviness, and calm — this is self-hypnosis your clients can carry anywhere. You’ll learn my GRACE framework (Grounding, Reshaping of perception, Attention, Conscious breath, Embodied awareness) for teaching it simply and powerfully.
- Pendulation — The Rhythm of Healing — Guide clients between contraction and expansion, discomfort and calm, so the nervous system learns that no feeling is permanent. Hypnotists will recognize this instantly: it’s fractionation applied to sensation.
- Titration — One Manageable Piece at a Time — The trauma-informed skill every practitioner needs: how to help clients approach difficult material in small, safe doses without flooding, overwhelm, or reliving the experience.
- Postural Sway — The simplest somatic release there is — and the moment in the class where every hypnotist smiles, because you’ll recognize it as the classic sway test, repurposed. You’ve been doing somatic therapy all along.

Why These Techniques Matter to Your Practice
- They meet the market where it is. Clients are actively searching for somatic and body-based help. Speaking this language brings them to your door.
- They are experiential. Clients don’t just listen — they feel something happen in the session. That felt experience builds belief, and belief builds results and referrals.
- They are trauma-informed. Pendulation and titration give you a safe, ethical structure for working with stressed and overwhelmed clients.
- They are teachable. Every technique becomes homework your clients can practice between sessions — extending your impact far beyond the office.
- They position you as a professional. Grounding your work in a century of evidence — Jacobson, Schultz, Benson, Levine — elevates every conversation you have about what hypnosis really is.
