Practice Builders Episode 65 - Saman Nasir, CCHt
Presented By: Saman Nasir, CCHt
Guest Speaker Saman Nasir, CCHt, AMFT, and HMI Associate Instructor, returns with a neuroscience-informed approach to hypnotherapy that helps clients feel safe, understood, and ready for real change. She explains that today’s clients arrive with more neuroscience knowledge than ever and shows how hypnotherapists can confidently connect that knowledge to the hypnotic process.
In this episode, Saman explains how to work with the logical mind as a protector rather than an obstacle, using neuroscience language that reduces overwhelm and builds trust. She introduces a simple metaphor, describing the prefrontal cortex as a “security guard” to help clients see resistance as protection, and outlines a cause-and-effect way to frame suggestions so the logical mind can follow the sequence, which is especially helpful for clients who need a clear “why” before change feels possible. She shares a clear way to talk about neuroplasticity so clients understand that patterns are learned pathways and new pathways can be built through repetition and focus.
She also gives practical tips for building accountability inside the session, strengthening buy-in to the change mechanism, and adding bite-sized homework that supports follow-through without triggering resistance.
Saman’s blend of neuroscience insight and practical application makes this an episode you will not want to miss. Turn insight into action and action into results. Join us to grow your practice with purpose.
