Stage Safety: What Every Hypnotist Must Know

Whether you’re performing on a stage, in a classroom, or at an impromptu event, safety isn’t optional—it’s essential.

In this practical and eye-opening session, you’ll learn how to protect yourself and your volunteers from common (and often overlooked) risks that can arise in any performance or demonstration setting. From lighting and seating to microphone cords and participant management, this presentation dives into the real-world hazards that many hypnotists miss—and shows you exactly how to avoid them.

You’ll also explore how to spot subtle cues that may signal an impending abreaction or unsafe emotional response, and how to create a controlled environment where both you and your participants feel secure and confident.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

How to identify hidden hazards in various environments—on stage, in lecture halls, or on the street
The do’s and don’ts of volunteer safety, including seating, staging, and positioning
Managing microphone cords, lighting, room layout, and people flow
How to minimize the risk of physical or emotional triggers and abreactions
Pro tips to set up your space for smooth, secure demonstrations—every time

This session is a must for any hypnotist who works with live audiences, offering practical insights and behind-the-scenes knowledge that will help you feel confident, prepared, and professional in any setting.

Because when you make safety second nature, everything else flows better.
