Upcoming Seminars
Jørgen's Provocative Hypnosis course was THE most
powerful course I have ever attended. Jørgen is a world
class trainer. During the 2 days I was able to break
negative patterns and behaviour I had carried out for years.
Jorgen's techniques when dealing with clients have helped
gain me a new work contract within a week of completing his
course. I would highly recommend this course to any
individual who wants to develop personally and
professionally. I was privileged to be a student attending the
Provocative Hypnosis Course arranged by UMAMI and presented
by Jorgen Rasmussen on 15th &16th June 2009 .Prior to the
course UMAMI set up a website accessed by the students to
network and ask questions as they arose, the website was
supported by Wayne and John, who managed it and answered our
questions promptly and generated discussions within the
group, and continue to do so. When I read the excerpt from
Jorgen’s book posted on the site, it struck fear to my core,
as his interventions appeared so radical, it was far out my
comfort zone, and I was apprehensive to what I would be
exposed to, and felt quite nervous on that first morning,
and I discovered on talking to fellow students I was not
alone in that state. However, as the two days unfolded my
fears were alleviated, as Jorgen explained his reasons for
his radical approach and demonstrated his wizardry. Even
though English is not his first language, his narrative was
totally spell binding and I hung on his every word, Pure
GENIEUS! I cannot fault the two days, only to say it wasn’t
long enough, the venue, organisation, the course literature
and the amazing support given by Wayne and John ,who are
UMAMI, was and still continues to be outstanding. Thank you
very much, I look forward to attending my next course with
UMAMI. “Look at Google and you’ll see that Hypnosis and NLP
courses are now a dime a dozen. From my personal experience
and the experiences of my students and clients, what gets
taught on one course is usually little different to the
next. I’ve recently found one big exception to this
statement and it’s called, ‘Provocative Hypnosis’; the most
exciting, effective and boundary pushing training that I
have ever taken part in. More importantly to me, the
teacher, ‘Jorgen Rasmussen’, is a man who has earned the
right to call himself a master of his trade, not by reading
books and attending other peoples seminars (though he
clearly has read and attended more than most), but by
working with a vast range of clients, many presenting him
with a range of symptoms and challenges that most change
agents would run a mile from! Since attending PH, I’ve used
Jorgen’s unique patterns and methods with a number of
clients. The results have each time shown an immediate and
obvious shift in state. More importantly, (a month or so
later) my clients continue to benefit form more choices in a
number of previously limiting contexts. I know personally
that John Grinder rates Jorgen as one of the finest change
agents in the world. Based on my four days with him, I have
to wonder who on earth the competition could be?” Provocative hypnosis – if you come to this training
expecting to worship at the altar of Bandler, Grinder,
McKenna, James or Rasmussen you are in the wrong place!
Guru’s are neither recognised nor welcomed and the religious
fanaticism which pervades much of the world of NLP and
hypnosis is debunked very early on. Handy hint number
one…leave your guru and altar at home! The simplicity and
directness of Jorgen’s approach is astonishing, learning to
easily lead even the most sceptical into deep hypnosis with
the intention of creating lasting change within minute is
breathtaking. Handy hint number two KISS – keep it simple
stupid! Jorgen’s approach is straightforward – dirt level
honesty, being wholly present in the encounter, a
willingness to fully commit to do whatever it takes to get
the outcome with integrity, passion respect and heart. He
walks the talk and as a result both demands and draws that
same commitment from participants so back seat observers can
easily become fully engaged. Handy hint number three No
bullshitting! The provocation is full on…sometimes
surprising, occasionally shocking, powerful, intense and
evoking strong emotions which are so often the precursor to
deep and lasting change. However, be under no illusions this
is no dark foreboding experience – the training is playfully
serious and seriously playful with laughter and fun playing
a major part in the process. Handy hint number four keep a
packet of Kleenex handy and make sure you don’t have a full
bladder! The balance of case histories, exercises, planned
demonstrations and those which spontaneously arose, together
with open question and answer sessions ensure boredom is not
an option with the group constantly captivated, provoked
entranced challenged and energised. The open supportive
learning environment proved ideal for safe experimentation
and mistake making which proved a great recipe for shared
learning. This training is intensely practical and grounded
to be used immediately and not left on the shelf or in the
toolbox. Handy hint number five dive right in and give it
your best shot! Although Jorgen may have what he describes
as his “Favourite format” he is no one trick pony and I have
rarely heard someone adopt such a flexible and eclectic
approach with no respect for labels boundaries dogma or
tradition. NLP, hypnosis, developmental psychology,
mindfulness and so much more mixed shaken and stirred to
produce a heady cocktail which gets to the parts others may
not reach! Handy hint number six be willing to become less
certain of your certainties and realise the more you know
the more you don’t know! For my part, I met some great
people, laughed a lot, cried a bit, was offended, confused,
intrigued, deeply moved and excited, discovered some
personal limitations, learned so much and have been provoked
to find new choices both working with clients and also in my
own life journey with some new twists and turns emerging
which I will fully explore. So was it worth the investment
of time money and energy? Hell yes! Last week I attended a 4 day intensive training with
Jorgen Rasmussen, author of the book ‘Provocative Hypnosis’
organised by Wayne marsh (UmamiUK) in Doncaster. Jorgen’s
book openly details his direct and often controversial
approach to change-work with clients. After reading it, I
admit that I was mildly apprehensive before attending the
training. I would not have been surprised if Jorgen had
turned out to be nothing more than an impatient bully. I
found this could not be more wrong. What I experienced was
beyond my expectations. I have spent 20 years working in
education with children, teenagers, families and teachers,
and I now run my own as an NLP Trainer. In all this time,
these were 4 days of the best and most productive days of my
career. I found the course to be remarkably insightful.
Jorgen had a great depth of knowledge and understanding as
to how best to help clients. Rather than an impatient bully,
I experienced Jorgen to be a compassionate person, who – in
the name of achieving results for a client – is willing to
put aside his own ego, and be very effective at cutting
through other people’s stories and B.S. Jorgen’s commitment
to helping others, for me, was typified when just prior to
the start of the course all European airports were closed
(volcanic ash from Iceland was playing havoc with
atmosphere). Instead of postponing and rescheduling the
course, which would have been understandable, Jorgen drove
from Norway, through Europe to Doncaster in the UK. This
would not be an easy journey. On personal and professional
levels, I gained tremendously from the 4 days training.
Jorgen’s willingness to share his knowledge and experiences
reaffirmed many approaches of my own and critically, gave me
many useful new ones for working with clients ….. and a new
perspective on how to conduct my own self! I was impressed
by Jorgen’s congruence with his own approach and his “dirt
level honesty” with the group. This, I considered to be a
Model of Excellence and one worth patterning. The discomfort
I experienced as I looked at aspects of my own self was a
necessary and worthy revelation. It was, and is, being
utilised for the better. Since first reading ‘Provocative
Hypnosis’ and attending the training, I have appraised my
own approaches and changed many things. My ‘back-pocket’ (as
John Grinder calls it!) now has many more tools. Most
importantly for me, by modelling Jorgen’s approach, it has
enabled me to knit the tools together into a much more
fluid, flexible and effective approach. My success levels
with clients have improved, the time taken to achieve these
has diminished and I now have a greater sense of purpose and
clarity in my work than I did previously. I highly recommend
Jorgen’s book ‘Provocative Hypnosis’. It is a fascinating
read which will take you from laughing to squirming. It
widen your eyes in wonder at a real balls-out approach to
change-work with clients. It will also make you stop. It
will then force your hand to reconsider many things. More
than his book if you get the chance to meet the man, or
attend a training he is delivering …..DO IT! You will be
blown away and inspired. I was, I am and I look forward to
continually being. “Look at Google and you’ll see that Hypnosis and NLP

that John Grinder rates Jorgen as one of the finest change

to wonder who on earth the competition could be?” My Overall experience is that this course has shifted so
many of my own assumptions, personally and those that relate
to my coaching (now training!). I have come to realise that
I deserve to enjoy my work to the maximum, and for a client
to get the most out of what I do, they need to commit to it,
rather than me just commiting to them. The element of people
pleaser in me has taken a major blow – thankfully. It has
given me the the kind of motivation to go out and play with
this sutff, so that if someone offered me some arm bands to
walk gently into the water, I would throw them down, run
towards the deep end and ‘just jump right in’. That is gold.
Jorgen successfully gave me two gifts – one of information
and content (ooh, did I just use that word?!), and the other
is that this is useless on its own, it is up to me to do
it/use it and abuse it. Many other courses I have been on
give good information, but this gives you an active hanger
to hang it on. And I was so pissed off! Because this was
such a wild and impactful course, that I knew I would have
to rewrite my website and coaching material. But that my
work would move to new levels, and more specifically, my
enjoyment of this kind of work would also increase. Jorgen’s
experience as a forward thinking, experimental trainer, was
conveyed in a way that I felt I was getting access to
secrets that few people knew. The clients that I used to
dread walking through my office door, I now look forward to,
as an opportunity to play with this stuff. Jorgen invites
you to throw off your arm bands and jump right in! This
course gives you the skills to float. I have just completely an amazing 4 day course with
Joergen Rasmussen through Unami UK. Joergen was pretty much
faultless in his delivery of a fantastic learning
experience. There was a great balance between him actually
teaching his techniques and us learning through having the
experience of being hypnotised and working on our own
issues. I feel like my whole way of doing business and
living life has been thoroughly challenged and I am in the
process of rediscovering and redesigning my beliefs and
assumptions. Anyone lucky enough to work with Joergen is in
for a rare treat. As well as being super talented, he is
seriously funny and likable. I thoroughly (and unreservedly)
recommend him to anyone interested in improving their life
or their business. When I purchased Provocative Hypnosis I honestly never,
ever expected I would even meet the guy let alone be lucky
enough to train with him. This training was the final piece
of my first real jigsaw. My lineage of training has been so
perfect, just perfect. I am proud that I have demonstrated
choice par excellence in my trainings so far. The training
answered loads and loads for me. Questions I had but didn’t
quite consciously know were there but constantly thinking
Aah! This is perfectly what I was consciously (e.g
commitment) and mostly unconsciously looking for. A huge
learning I soaked up was the intense sense of
professionalism from Jorgan. Its real professionalism I can
utilise instead of just using daft stories to bash other
professions ala Mr Bandler which I think can be taken in the
wrong way by many. I have a strong sense of professionalism
for teaching but always felt I didn’t have it yet for
changework – it wasn’t transfering like I thought it would
but thinking about it they are two different professions!! I
always had a feeling I was kinda bumbling about in the dark
trying to be professional but I have a torch now… Jorgen
Rasmussens deep appreciation of NLP means he can turn to
whatever it takes to get the change and this can often lead
him outside of the field of NLP itself. I barely even heard
the term mentioned it just wasn’t necessary. For someone
with a Psychology background while I’m not surprised I boxed
myself in to “NLP” I am glad I have experienced someone who
appears to be unifying fields with finesse bringing much
needed pioneering work to a field that was and I emphasise
was going stale. Rasmussen is doing for Grinder what Grinder
did for Bateson. Rasmussen is doing for Grinder what Grinder
did for Bandler. All genius’ in there own right working
together with there own invaluable unique skills to create
something magical. Just had to post that have achieved my own challenge to
utilise all the learnings from last week by using the rapid
induction and emotion release with a client just now. Blumin
fantastic. Also want to say thanks to everyone last week and
especially to Jorgen for sharing his knowledge and
expertise. It is already making such a difference with
clients I am seeing. My head is still spinning though !
