Military personnel, police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and other first responders often focus on something else first:

Can I trust you?

Drawing on 30 years as a London police officer, personal experience of PTSD, and conversations with military personnel and first responders, this presentation explores the factors that determine whether therapeutic rapport is established or lost within minutes.

You will learn the five common mistakes therapists make when working with operational populations, why credibility and competence are constantly being assessed, and how seemingly small factors such as confidentiality, preparation, environment, and therapist behaviour can dramatically affect engagement.

Before clients decide whether hypnosis works, they decide whether the therapist does.

This presentation will help you build trust faster, reduce resistance, and work more effectively with military and emergency service personnel.
