Just a quick note folks,

Too many hypnotherapists out there have been trained that they need to relax their client as part of the hypnosis induction routine. There have been a number of discussions in the last couple of weeks in various online hypnosis forums from newbie hypnotherapists asking questions about clients ‘resisting’ their hypnosis induction. Further investigation suggests that ‘going deeper into trance’ is being resisted because the client fears ‘letting go’.

Now, the thing is you see, that hypnosis does not equate necessarily to a ‘relaxed’ state. If you’ve only been taught a set of hypnosis techniques that rely on ‘letting go’ then you are basically stuck as a hypnotherapist if you get someone who polarity responds to your hypnosis routine.

This is where the quality of the training you took really begins to shine through. If you’ve been given a set of techniques and not the principles then you are already in a less flexible situation as a therapist. If you’ve been taught the belief that you need to ‘relax’ the client to effect a hypnotic state then you are even less flexible.

Take care to learn principles and check out if you can the quality of the training you are getting if you are learning how to hypnotise for therapy purposes.

Happy trips
