Introduction of Lee McKing the Hypnotist

Lee McKing Hypnotherapy was started when Lee McKing learnt and applied NLP and hypnosis to solve his own mental health issues. He developed PTSD and fell into depression after nearly dying when his lung burst in his sleep. His previous anxieties and fears also escalated and he suffered for the next few years before realizing all these issues can be solved through NLP and hypnosis. After attending courses and getting certified as a Master NLP Practitioner and a Professional Conversational Hypnotherapist, Lee McKing realized that his methods are truly effective in helping people. Thus in 2015, he decided to help people resolve their mental health issues professionally through hypnosis.

1. How did you overcome the biggest challenges in running a small business?

One of the biggest challenges to me was getting exposure and for that, I depended on the Law of Attraction. An easy way to get exposure and thus clients is getting interviews and features through local and alternative media. Thus, I manifested through the Law of Attraction in my first year of business, getting interviewed by The New Paper, Vanilla Luxury, and M Lifestyle, among others. Over the years, the interviews and features get more interesting, like with Shout, Vice, and even MeWatch. This established my credibility, and allows me to gain awareness of my hypnotherapy practice through a greater audience.

2. How long does it take to see results from hypnotherapy for first-time clients?

Honestly, it depends on the issues you want to resolve too. Something like depression, you might feel an immediate lightness or change upon coming out of the hypnosis. Whereas something like bulimia or anorexia, you might need to see later in the day or over the next few days when you have a meal. Then of course, something like a fear of flying, will require you to know with 100% confirmation when you take a flight, which can be days, weeks, or months later. In most cases, I will say it is immediate after the session and within the day, and of course I will tell my clients to gauge for themselves over the next few days. I could share some testimonials and case studies where clients see the results immediately, but this might get too long.

3. What is one customer problem you solved that no one else in your industry addresses?

Physical health issues. Most hypnotherapists can work with mental health issues like anxiety, phobias, depression. Very few (if any) can confidently say they have treated someone with physical health issues before. To share briefly on physical injuries, my mom injured her wrist and her arm swelled up for 3 days but she didn’t want to seek any medical treatment. I suspect it was a torn wrist ligament. On the 4^th day, she relented and agreed for me to do some hypnosis for her. And by lunch time, her swollen arm was back to normal, there was no pain either. Another quick case study was about this lady who was involved in a car accident, and suffered whiplash due to brain injuries to her frontal lobe and visual cortex. Besides having poor memory, and inability to focus among other things, her right eye became a lazy eye as well. Immediately after the hypnosis, I told her she was cured. She was originally in disbelief, and I told her that her eyes was back to normal, no more lazy eye, and that is how I know she is cured. An hour later, she texted me that it is true, her vision is brighter, sharper, clearer. And a week later, she also reported her memory is back to normal, she doesn’t have the effects of whiplash anymore. I can continue with eczema or even common cold, to further emphasize how I can help in something others cannot.

4. What part of your business model surprises most first-time clients?

It is either that I offer a complimentary 2 hours consultation or that issues can be resolved within 1 session 90% of the time. My clients feel I am sincere and genuine with the former, as most other therapists do not offer such a long complimentary consultation. I believe I need to know you properly before I can help you, hence I do it this way. This chat also allows me to figure what is the best approach to increase the effectiveness which is the latter.

5. What’s a belief about your industry that most people get wrong?

That you see a hypnotherapist and with a snap, your problems will be gone, your personality can be changed. That is totally false. It isn’t so simple as that. Firstly, hypnosis cannot work without permission or consent. So, if you don’t want to resolve an issue for whatever reason, I cannot do much. On top of that, if there is a behavioral or character trait which isn’t good, but the person doesn’t want to change this, I cannot do anything either. Some parents might bring their child to see me thinking I can turn the naughty child into a good boy or girl, but oftentimes the “bad behaviors” are due to what the parents are doing or not doing. I also cannot make a cheater stop cheating unless they want to, or a liar to stop lying unless they want to. There is some work involved for hypnosis to be truly effective.

6. What is Lee McKing Hypnotherapy’s most unusual story of customer success?

I have quite a few such cases. Perhaps due to my unique hypnosis method, or because hypnosis is rather unique in itself, I do attract a number of clients with interesting requests. There was a mother who brought her 10 year old son with dyslexia, and asked me if I can cure his dyslexia using hypnosis. To her surprise, her son was really cured of dyslexia, and can read well, and even created 2 crossword puzzles for the family to play. She updated me weekly on her shock and what he did over the next few months. Another lady was suffering from depression due to being abused by her narcissistic boyfriend and one side effect was that she didn’t have her periods for a year or so. After the break up, she came to see me to resolve her mental health issues and to her surprise, later that night, her period came back. This is also because the mind and body are connected, and some physical health issues can be caused by mental health issues.

7. What makes your hypnotherapy different from competitors?

A key difference is how I understand the mind which then increases the effectiveness of resolving issues through hypnosis. Most hypnotherapists in Singapore are of the traditional style too, while I am of the modern or conversational style of hypnotherapy. This combination of a unique perspective of how the mind works, with modern hypnosis techniques allows me to help people with more issues than usual, more effective than normal.

8. Which testimonials or case studies show real-life results?

Here’s a testimonial from a client:
“Procrastination has been the bane of my life. Everything I do, big or small I end up dragging the whole process so long that either I miss the deadline, or I rush out a sub-optimal version of my plan at the eleventh hour. Every once in a while, I’d be searching the internet for tips to ‘change’ my life or effective ‘habits’ that I can implement to get rid of the procrastination, but to no avail. Once during my search I came across hypnotherapy as a possible solution, and later chanced onto McKing’s website. Intrigued by the number of success stories and the bizarre way it works, I decided to take the leap of faith and meet him for a chat. After that, the rest is history. Thanks to McKing, I’ve finally managed resolved the issue of never-ending procrastination, and this review that I’ve managed to type out once I got home is testament to that! If you’re reading this review, I can assure you that the trip into the unconscious mind is definitely worth taking, because in the process I got to know myself so much more! Thank you again McKing for all your help, stay safe amidst this dangerous period and best wishes for the year ahead!”

9. How can your hypnotherapy save me time, money, or stress?

When a client is ready to resolve their issues, 90% can resolve in 1 session of hypnotherapy with me. Compared to traditional hypnotherapy which recommends 3 to 5 sessions or counselling which might go from 10 to 20 sessions, my hypnosis definitely saves you time. The money for 1 session is far below the total amount you might spend compared to the rest too. To show a better contrast, one of my clients went to a private psychology clinic and went for monthly sessions over 5 years at $300 each. That’s $18,000 without even considering the initial sessions are likely twice a week or weekly! The issue of performance anxiety only got worse too, to the point of getting MC to avoid work, and even declined promotions. My client found me and in just 1 session of hypnosis, had no more performance anxiety. There was no more avoidance of work, and even happily accepted the promotion they deserved. In this case, a lot of money not only could have been saved, but also earned more with an earlier acceptance of a promotion and a pay raise. Needless to say, the prolonged suffering of an additional 5 years could have been mitigated as well.

10. What questions should your customer/client ask before hiring a hypnotist to avoid costly mistakes?

I will advice you to ask questions to check on their knowledge and experience. While getting an idea of how long they have been practicing is good, a better indication of experience to me is how many clients they have worked with, and how many sessions averagely solved their issues. On top of that, getting clarity on how the mind and hypnosis works will help. If the hypnotist is able to share enough such that you know how the mind and hypnosis work, you can trust that their knowledge and application is top-notch. However, if they keep saying to just trust them without any explanation, it will seem a bit off. As if they don’t have enough knowledge to explain how it works, so whether they really know what is happening is questionable. Lastly, if they are able to explain how your mind specifically works, that is great! Although to be fair, some issues might seem like they appear out of thin air so this is a good to have, not so much a necessity.
