Dirk - Ghent, Belgium34€
34€Lesson hypnosis course with option for hypnotherapy or self-development
Trusted teacher: They still exist: people who believe that hypnosis is not real, or that it is a paranormal activity. However, decades ago it was scientifically proven that hypnosis not only exists, but is also very effective in achieving all kinds of different goals. Thanks to the hypnosis course, you too can learn what exactly this fascinating state entails. This way you can not only learn to act, but also get a taste of our courses in debate and presentation techniques (our TV course), communication, singing, improvisation, physical acting, lie detection, hypnosis, directing, or writing! Of course, it remains true: the more you follow one particular course, the faster you progress. You can take both live and online lessons. 'Enlightenment is always preceded by confusion.' Milton H. Erickson What is hypnosis? To understand hypnosis, think of sunlight; that is diffuse and falls somewhat everywhere. However, if you bundle light through a number of crystals, you turn it into a laser beam. Hypnosis does the same with your attention. It is usually focused on several things at the same time. This way you not only see what is directly in front of you, but you also notice things to the left and right, in your peripheral vision. However, when you focus yourself and focus your attention on one point, you can achieve a hypnotic state. Our brains In the past, people who talked about hypnosis mainly talked about the two brain hemispheres. The left hemisphere controls the right part of the body (except the ears), the right hemisphere controls the left part of our body. Moreover, it has often been claimed that our logical thinking (including arithmetic) and our language are mainly located in the left hemisphere of the brain, and our creativity in our right hemisphere. However, this is only partially true. The reality is a lot more complex, and other parts of the brain often take over when a certain part is damaged. In ancient texts - and unfortunately often also in more modern writings - you often read that hypnosis additionally activates the right hemisphere of the brain. During brain scans we can indeed see that a different pattern emerges than when one is asleep or awake. However, the investigation into what exactly is going on is by no means complete. What we can say with certainty is that the brain usually works as if what is suggested is actually registered, as opposed to what happens when one simply imagines something! Numerous experiments (often with PET scans, such as the experiment by Henry Szechtman of McMaster University in Ontario in 1998, or the pain reduction experiment of Pierre Rainville of the University of Montreal a year earlier) have already shown this. Brain experiments give us a good example of why hypnosis is so effective in (among other things) pain relief. For example, during a well-known experiment, subjects were confronted with pain stimuli of different intensities. They had to report how much pain they were in while their brain activity was also recorded. The subjective experience of pain of the same intensity differed enormously from subject to subject, but the activated brain area during the pain experience was especially interesting: after all, this was an area responsible for memory and experience! How strongly you experience pain is therefore largely related to the way you deal with it and not only to the objective intensity! You will never do anything you don't want to do The above statement is also largely correct, but it must be qualified somewhat. A particularly small portion of the population—perhaps about one percent—seems to reach a state labeled “stuporous.” These people seem to do just about anything asked. However, we believe that this has nothing to do with a bad or unstable character, or with absolute control of the hypnotist. What is going on can be explained by the phenomenon of narrowed attention. Because a stuporous person is so concentrated on the task at hand, he or she is often no longer really concerned with what is happening around him or her. You stay active In any case, hypnotized people never behave like passive machines: they are actively solving their problems, and are also creative when not suggested by the therapist. However, most things that happen to them are experienced as 'effortless', as if everything happens 'by itself'. Not everyone has the feeling of being 'away': you usually maintain contact with the outside world during a hypnosis session. It is precisely because of the possibility of disturbance that spectators are usually asked to remain quiet during shows. By the way, it's important that you can hear the hypnotist, right? Harmless Hypnosis is absolutely harmless. Negative suggestions can be harmful, but that also applies to everyday life. Anyone who is constantly told by the teacher that he or she is not making any sense of it runs the risk of believing it even when it is not true, or of having a dent in self-confidence. This means that hypnotherapists - like all people - should certainly be careful with the suggestions they give! For example, we think that most (or all) people suffering from multiple personality disorder (where people believe they have multiple personalities) have been given false suggestions (not necessarily under hypnosis) by people talking about different 'parts' or 'personalities'. And what to think about fortune tellers, whose predictions often become true because people (unconsciously) direct their actions accordingly - which does not necessarily mean that they are all quacks. Research also shows that when reminiscing, people often fantasize things! A therapist must therefore be careful of this, especially when it concerns alleged incest or abuse, for example. You always wake up It is impossible to remain 'stuck' in a hypnotic state. Anyone who remained in hypnosis would simply fall asleep and then wake up sober. It seems that people also often experience a hypnotic state in daily life, for example when reading, watching TV, or practicing yoga or meditation. Tool As mentioned, hypnosis is often an excellent tool for treating all kinds of ailments and problems of a psychological or psychosomatic nature. And since body and psyche have a huge mutual influence on each other, this means that you can alleviate or eliminate a lot of suffering with hypnosis. For example, it has been frequently shown that hypnosis is very effective against allergies, psoriasis and anxiety, but hypnotic techniques are also often used to achieve positive goals.

Goncalo - Lisbon, Portugal66€
66€1st Division Team Coach, 2000+ Classical Elo & 3000+ Tactical Elo
Trusted teacher: In this session YOU WILL get EVERYTHING you need for the rest of your CHESS CARRER, with all the resources available and compiled, all organized in a document. Additionally you get a PERSONALIZED plan to consistently gain elo and win comfortably. This works best bought once per season. In these coaching sessions, you’ll get custom-made documents to help guide your progress, tailored to your strengths and weaknesses. I review your games, provide personalized advice, and develop strategies that match your playstyle, ensuring each session delivers maximum value. Small Introduction and Overall Plan: ❐ I offer flexible, friendly, and tailored lessons for players of all ages and skill levels, ensuring you feel comfortable and supported every step of the way. My approach is all about making learning chess enjoyable. I adapt my lessons to your strengths and preferences, focusing on long-term improvement through structured, personalized coaching. Whether you’re refining openings, sharpening tactics, or mastering endgames, I’m here to guide you. Plus, with a custom-made document tracking your progress, you’ll always know exactly what to work on outside of the sessions. I’m easy to work with, approachable, and dedicated to helping you get stronger, one move at a time. (I’ve coached players from 5 years old to 40+ years old, so no matter your age, you’re in good hands.) With this document, your lessons will be unlike anyone else’s because it’s tailored and properly structured specifically for you. Detailed Introduction and Specifics for the Plan: ❐ Each session is designed to give you strong foundations, practical improvement, and long-term growth, no matter your age or level. My coaching adapts to your pace and experience, making it ideal whether you're just starting or have been playing for a while. ❐ We'll begin by building an opening repertoire that fits your personal style. I won't just hand you random openings, I’ll explain the ideas behind them and show you how to use them effectively. These choices are based on your actual games, so they reflect your comfort zone and goals. At the same time, we’ll work on analyzing your games in depth. I’ll review them before our sessions and point out recurring patterns, key mistakes, and habits that may be holding you back. This allows each lesson to target exactly what will help you improve fastest. ❐ Tactics play a huge role in chess strength, so we’ll develop your calculation skills using custom positions from your own games and trusted training tools. I’ll help you build confidence in spotting patterns and making sharp decisions during critical moments. As your tactical vision grows, we’ll also explore positional play, understanding pawn structures, piece activity, long-term plans, and how to evaluate a position calmly and accurately. This strategic layer is what really pushes players beyond just solving puzzles. ❐ We’ll also cover endgame fundamentals to make sure you can convert advantages or hold difficult positions when the board gets simplified. You won’t need to memorize hundreds of positions, just understand the key ideas that matter most in practical games. ❐ What other services lack is the personal document I create and maintain for each student. I work on it outside of our lessons, so you benefit from a deeper level of my preparation. It includes a summary of your most common mistakes, advice on how to fix them, a list of openings suited to your style, and additional resources or tips that are updated regularly as you improve. ❐ Above all, I keep my approach friendly and supportive! I’ve worked with people as young as 5 and others over 40, and I make sure every session feels comfortable and respectful. You’ll always be welcome to reach out with questions outside sessions, I’ll always be there to help with chess! [Once you book, please message me on WhatsApp the name of your account if you have one (Lichess, Chess.com, etc.) and a short note about your playstyle (what you enjoy and don't), such as certain types of openings, tactical pressure, playing positionally, etc. This helps me prepare properly beforehand so your session is fully personalized to you]

rating green star
I am in the process of looking for a new job in the public/corporate sector as an economist, and on this occasion, I thought I'd get advice from an expert coach to review my CV and cover letter. Among the many available tutors, I chose to work online with Tania. Initially, this decision was based on her detailed presentation and our initial conversation. I felt that she was the right choice for me. I was right. Tania is an extremely prepared professional coach able to guide you along the various steps needed to write professional CVs and cover letters aligned to each specific job description. Tania is a "gold mine" in terms of information and suggestions, very patient, empathetic, and clearly passionate about developing others and creating successful outcomes. I highly recommend her.

rating green star
Florie is a delight to talk to! I am taking a French conversation class with her at the moment--I am a level B1-B2. She is sincere, thoughtful, funny and "sympa", and above all, she is great at conversation. She can adapt to your personal interests and will swerve the conversation in a way that allows you to talk as much as you can without tiring you. When you run out of things to say, she'll come up with topics and questions to keep the conversation going. Definitely recommend her!

I can highly recommend Olivier. I haven't spoken much French in the past 10 years and wanted to refresh before an upcoming trip. Olivier prepares for the lesson by selecting articles of interest which we then discuss. The hour goes by very quickly because its fun and interesting! Give him a try!
