About this listen

The Elman Induction is rightly regarded as a timeless classic and remains one of the most popular means of inducing hypnosis in the world. This unique book takes Dave Elman's induction and brings it right up to date, by sharing the process as Elman taught it, as well as possible alternative understandings of what is taking place.

Critic reviews

"Excellent, thoughtful study of the Dave Elman Induction. Graham Old dissects the technique and offers very useful insight on all aspects of what is probably the most useful hypnotic induction ever developed.... I recommend this work for Elman aficionados as well as those not familiar with Elman who are wondering what all the fuss is about with this famous induction." (Sean Michael Andrews, Atlantic Hypnosis Institute and Leading Authority on the Elman Induction)

"The most useful and in depth treatment of an often misunderstood induction." (Melissa Tiers, author of Integrative Hypnosis: A Comprehensive Course in Change)

Great description of a great induction

What I loved most about this book was how the author broke down the principles of the induction so that you could use facets of it in other ways. Now I seek do that kind of deconstruction with everything I learn.

amazing book and narrated perfectly

The narration had me spellbound and felt like I was being personally guided through a journey of the Elman Induction book. I was captivated right from the beginning. The author's details of the Elman method gave me a richer and comprehensive understanding of this amazing method. Any hypnotist, new or old will benefit from taking this book off the virtual shelf and giving it a listen. I plan to revisit this book and hear again this wonderful journey.

Deep dive into the Elman, without overthinking it

Listened to this about four times now. Still great breakdown if you use the Elman induction. Well thought out and well written.

Shiny and New

The Elman Induction is a staple for hypnotists and is taught in most training programs, but never with this depth. This delightful audiobook offers fresh insight as it answers some of the questions that have been nagging me for 40 years. The book is beautifully read by Miles Meili in just a couple of hours, and Graham Old's thoughtful text offers numerous variations and adaptations that dust off this old technique and make it bright and shiny once again. It's a MUST for every hypontist's library.

Great Elman Understanding

Graham shows a better understanding of the Elman principles than most I have come across. The format of the book is comprehensive and includes personal opinions and explanations that make it great for newcomers and experienced hypnotists alike. I wish I had this when I first started to learn Hypnosis.

An excellent "how to"

Perfect for the experienced hypnotist who wants to learn the Elman Induction. 100% usable content. Not a single word is wasted. Miles Meili is incredible. He speaks it as if he wrote it.

This is a Master Class and I applaud Graham Old.

Graham Old, for me, has done it again. Just as his book on dealing with resistant subjects, his unpacking of Elman’s inductions along with the insights by Elman’s son, Larry are chock full of tips and why things work, often not found elsewhere. I really appreciated the scoping in from an overview, to the execution details, then the why it works and specific purpose within the Elman “Process”. The exercises are more thought invoking questions and worth the effort. I will close by saying the learnings and comfort with inductions in general is well worth the price. By the way, the narrator himself has a very nice hypnotic voice as a bonus.
