This week's guest on Mindset Body Spirit is Karl Smith. Karl served 12 years in the British Army and another 12 as a UK Police Firearms Officer. In 2006 his life changed forever after a serious car accident and hypnotherapy unexpectedly transformed both his healing process and his life.
Today Karl is known for creating super quick transformations with his clients with a special focus on trauma. Karl teaches hypnotherapy to thousands of students across the world.
In this engaging conversation, Karl Smith shares his transformative journey from a traumatic car accident to becoming a prominent figure in the field of hypnosis. He discusses the importance of education in hypnosis; the concept and power of content-free hypnosis, the significance of addressing the person rather than the problem in therapeutic settings; the need for therapists to understand their clients' readiness for change; debunking common myths surrounding hypnosis, and much more.

Takeaways
How the worst day of Karl’s life became the best day of his life.
Education is crucial for both therapists and clients.
Therapists often focus too much on the problem, not the person.
The issue's never the issue; it’s about the person.
Hypnosis is about belief and expectation.
Content-free hypnosis allows clients to explore their own issues, unimpeded.
Threshold is key; clients must truly want change.
Hypnotists never delete a memory; they simply change the perception around it.
