A Personalised Induction Will Always Be More Effective…..
This is an interesting statement that I shall hope to explore and discuss here.
Although I feel there are numerous merits to support this, there are some instances where I feel this is not the case.
Imagine perhaps, a session of people for perhaps weight loss, or a quitting smoking group. You will have a group of people probably with different modalities and preferences towards either ‘Permissive’, or ‘Authoritarian styles of induction, making it impossible to personalize the induction to suit everyone, and instead have to use a general induction to reach the varying needs of the individual clients.
There are also certain cases where an authoritarian style, is

We must not make our minds up at our initial consults though, to the extent that we cannot readdress and adapt further our techniques as things change or become clearer to us and indeed, change through our work together over time. A truly personalized induction may thus be achieved. We need to listen to our clients goals in what they are wanting to work through and ultimately achieve through their therapy, discussing with them the process of hypnosis, so that they have a good, informed understanding of the process and therefore are best able to be relaxed in it and know that they can have trust in our abilities to help them. [Allaying any fears or misconceptions they may have.]This initial discussion is also very helpful in building trust between you and your client, getting a clear informed overview of them, and a great foundation from which to begin your work together from. All initial consultations will vary, as different people all present us with a different set of likes, dislikes, needs problems, and preconceived ideas to embrace, work with and address. It is up to us to adapt our craft to suit each client, using our knowledge of different modalities and styles to suit each case presented to us. As briefly mentioned above, there are different styles we can use along with different modalities.
These differing styles are
Changing the mind, leading the client to solutions through specific questioning techniques will allow the client to formulate ideas.
'....place rather more emphasis on the early tasks of clarifying clients' needs and identifying best how to proceed.' (Kidd, 2006, P.89)
We will look at these in more detail to understand what changes might occur in the subject at each stage. The objective is, broadly speaking, to facilitate a trance-like state in the subject which enables easier access to the subconscious. After the therapy, there would typically be a period of reflection wherein the subject is encouraged to discuss how the therapy felt and what next steps they might take. However, for the purposes of answering the question ‘What is Hypnosis?’, we will focus primarily on the four key stages.
Milten Erikson emphasized the vital need to enter the client’s world and not to drag them into ‘your’ way of thinking. We need to learn their language, their perspectives and
Through the review process of induction it is discussed with myself and the individual, what previous qualifications they have and, work or life experiences they have which can assist in their knowledge, which method they found easier to learn from, what areas they have found straightforward and difficult from there. Dependent upon their qualifications and experience we look upon what the inductee could input onto the care of the individuals we support and what could be done differently. The inductee
There are many different methods that can be used to support the induction process for practitioners and some of these are as follows:
The therapist needs to find out the reason for the clients visit for hypnotherapy and what it is they would like to change about themselves. So the hypnotherapist has a clear goal to work towards. To be able to do this the therapist needs to take their time in listening and attending to the client. There are a number of techniques that are considered beneficial in building rapport and the following attending and non attending behaviours show how body language can affect building rapport.
A personalised induction is the hypnotic induction that is tailored to suit individual people. It can be quite easy to fall into the trap of thinking that one screed will suit all however, it must be understood that everybody is different and when trying to induct them into a hypnotic state it means that the screed can be personalised to specific people. Clients can come in all ‘shapes and sizes’ and it is the job of the therapist to identify certain traits about them that they can help the construction of a personalised screed, people have different cultural backgrounds, different likes and dislikes, values, outlooks and perspectives. All these factors can give little clues to

My second method was researching the professional and incredible hypnotist Richard Barker, and looking at interviews that he has done, his website, and videos of him performing hypnosis. Some background information about Richard Barker is that for the last 20 years he has worked his “magic” of hypnosis on thousands of patients around the world. One of the reasons that Richard Barker is an all around renown hypnotist is because of his unique style of hypnotism. His style brings many new angles to hypnotism, he is an entertainer as much as he is a professional and one of the many goals that he has set for himself, according to his website The Incredible Hypnotist, “My aim is to ensure when you leave my show you will remember it for the rest of

Another important aspect of induction material is whether you should use a permissive or authoritarian style script. This history of these two approaches is based very much on the Hungarian Sandor Derenzi who referred to these two approaches as
First, you have to find someone willing to be hypnotized and will be patient and relaxed for best results, hypnotizing someone unwilling is much more difficult. It will also help to get into a calm comfortable room so the subject can easily relax. When you start it is also key to speak in a soft, soothing voice.
Hypnosis explained by the psychology community as an altered state of consciousness that leaves people in a more subjective state, or more likely to listen to verbal suggestions. The term of hypnosis came from the Greek root word for sleep. There have been records of Hypnosis going back 2,500 years in ancient China and Egypt, (Gurgevich, 2011-2015, para.1). Hypnosis or also known as hypnotherapy is said to be used to help you gain control over undesired behaviors or to help you cope better with anxiety or pain, (“Test and Procedures Hypnosis,”2015, Para. 2). An example of how a hypnotherapy session might go like this; a therapist comes in while a patient was in an relaxed state and proceeds to tell the patient that they will be cured from their illness when they came out of the relaxed state and then the patient may or may not be cured.
