Linda and the list, When I trained as a hypnotist (yes ... believe me ... look into my eyes....) my trainer said that the best hypnotists in the world were bad teachers. They were the ones who would say to you that you were useless at something and you would believe them for the rest of your life. If were ever to be that good, he said, then we had cracked hypnotism.

It has affected my willingness to join other classes, preferring to teach myself whenever possible. Despite believing myself to be rational and tough, my feelings are there too and have to be overcome every time. I'm sure no member of this very well-mannered list would even think of teaching in this way, but it might be worth considering that your students might have been damaged by a previous experience.
