There's a Facebook ad going around for a technique called, "MindShifting", by Stevie Kent. He got his technique from a couple of psychologists, one of whom was a communication expert and the other a spiritualist. I can't find his information for free, but I've noticed a few things. He claims his technique can help people with blockages (vague language) in 10-15 minutes and one session; he makes some outdated and false claims about hypnosis and NLP (like the claim that hypnosis requires the theta state), and he has a video of himself promoting a course to help with learning German elsewhere. In the video, he uses a tranced look and voice. He uses vague language and direct suggestions, as well as embedded commands. He uses technical jargon to baffle people, and talks for a long time without a pause. All hypnotic techniques. I don't know much about him or his training, but I think he is using hypnosis and NLP to sell his courses. There's a reddit post on him that goes into detail about one person's experience with his online presence and communication. This guy could be a Byron Katie just starting out.

So, I have more information. I just watched a video on the squeeze page by Stevie Kent. He uses a lot of Milton model language patterns and hypnotic tones of voice. His testimonials are all practically saying the same script. He is also using NLP sales techniques. He even uses similar language in describing MindShifting that NLPers use to describe qualities and techniques of NLP, but he claims it's not hypnosis or NLP, and claims those take too long to work. I don't know how many people will see through his game, but there are others already offering MindShifting therapy online. I'm really getting Byron Katie vibes from this

Dave DDS refers to a discussion of Byron Katie and Eckhart Tolle that took place on the Rick Ross (now Cult Education Institute) message board - this message board -- over ten years ago.

Deep discussions of trance induction methods took place.

Many, many trolls were banned for disrupting discussions -- always a sign that something is worth reading.
