Practice Builders Episode 55 - Norman Plotkin, CHt
Presented By: Norman Plotkin, CHt
Guest Speaker Norman Plotkin, CHt, author, and cancer survivor, offers a compassionate, mind-body approach to recovery and empowerment, based on deep insight, emotional attunement, and a grounded belief in an innate capacity for meaningful change and growth. His client work often includes inner child processes to surface root emotions, update old narratives, and support meaningful change.
In this episode, Norman is open and candid about what did and didn’t work in his practice-building, including participating in Business Network International (BNI) and using Google Ads. He discusses how appearing on podcasts helped him gain international clients and the importance of responding appropriately to public reviews.
He also speaks candidly about the realities hypnotherapists face in session. Protecting one’s own energy, resetting composure between sessions, and practicing strong self-care are vital, especially when seeing many clients or supporting clients with serious medical concerns. For practitioner resilience, Norman suggests meditation, physical movement, and never losing sight of the privilege of helping others. He also emphasizes drawing on HMI training, specifically the classes on counseling and interviewing, reminding hypnotherapists that clients will tell them everything they need to know.
Norman’s resilience and honest advice make this an episode you will not want to miss. Take the next step in your journey toward success. Let’s grow and succeed together!
