   I have been lost without my podcasts 🙁  now to catch up 🙂  I am so grateful to your good self Cal,  Meredith and Elron for what I learn.  I find it ironic that I just spent this last weekend at a 'Course' for Hypnosis training!  You all would have been so disgusted and yet it was like watching a 'B' grade movie, I just couldn't look away.  Sitting next to me was a fully qualified Psychiatrist who also uses Hypnosis with many of her clients and there was one moment where we both looked at each other in shock and that was the last straw, I had to say something.  This 'teacher' (I use the term loosely) told a story of a Soldier (ex S.A.S) who had trouble with groups of people, crowds etc.  his answer to this man's problem was to hypnotise him and then give him a 'group hug' with approximately 30 people crowded in on this poor man.  I stuck my hand up and said "what would you have done if this man had had an abreaction? He's a highly trained soldier with combat skills"  his answer was to gloss over it and say the training was covered in the higher classes! I had a problem in that he should not have told the story because now many poorly educated people think they are licensed hypnotherapists and could very easily replicate what they were just told!  Unfortunately, here in Australia, Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy has been deregulated so it is too easy for people like this to get away with things.  But I will be trying to take this further as there are no signs, I can find, that this 'teacher' has any formal qualifications at all!
   Sorry to rant Cal and team, but I just felt I needed to show just what sort of 'training' is out there.
   I'm looking forward to the day I can do your training and then, I'm thinking, I would like to bring 5 PATH training to Australia some how.
