Practice Builders Episode 49 - Akeem Jones, CHt
Presented By: Akeem Jones, CHt
Guest Speaker Akeem Jones, Certified Hypnotherapist and co-founder of Applied Behavior Strategies, shares practical behavioral profiling tools hypnotherapists can use to understand clients quickly, build rapport, and communicate with precision. Akeem shows how to read arousal and comfort at a glance. He explains how noticing adult blink and respiration rates provides valuable information about clients’ states. He also provides guidance on establishing client rapport with similarity and mirroring, offering specific advice about techniques and timing.
In this episode, Akeem explains his behavioral framework (BACCCON) for evaluating, understanding, and avoiding misreading behavioral signals. He also explains the three parts of Rapid Salience Detection: identity, motivation, and fear. Then he goes deeper into the differences between inward and outward identity cues. Finally, Akeem offers direct guidance on how to apply observed data in interpersonal interactions, emphasizing compassion and stimulus control rather than confrontation.
Akeem’s clear, immediately usable guidance on observation, rapport, and ethical influence makes this an episode you will not want to miss.
