hi I'm Arturo Vaughn common knowledge and welcome to how to create a trance state three intriguing ways to prepare your clients for hypnosis it's all going really well you've been talking normally with your client about how to address their issues building rapport setting goals and now you're ready to do the hypnosis your client shifts awkwardly in their seat faint lines of strain appear on their brow as they politely close their eyes as instructed while you whisper theatrically into their straining ear mmm something doesn't feel quite right though does it okay where's that deep relaxing trance
state you need to work your magic where is the trance state the problem is your beautiful hypnotic induction will almost certainly feel artificial if your client hasn't been nicely prepared for hypnosis so that going indian gnosis feels utterly natural as a consequence of what's gone before a sudden switch from conscious logical awareness to in a creative absorption can be a leap too far for some people putting someone into hypnosis should feel like the perfectly natural and even inevitable result of what's gone before if you're intentionally using surprise as a hypnotic induction then you should know
exactly why you're doing so but for the most part I think trance work is more effective and productive if we soften up our clients for trance beforehand taking them in and out many times but before we ever get to the official hypnosis so to speak so here are three ways you can prepare your client to feel gradually more and more Trancy using the natural conversational style of the pre talk so step number one described their unconscious mind when we hypnotize someone we need to disassociate conscious from unconscious experience this is sometimes called splitting during the
pre-chat I might talk about the differences between conscious and unconscious awareness talking in this way is in itself hypnotic and that's the point I might say something like now there's a part of you which is separate from the conscious you listening to me right now and that part knows how to produce dreams at night it knows how to relax you deeply it knows how to grow your hair digest your food and blink all beyond your conscious awareness it knows more than you do about many things that happen in your body and in your mind and
it's that part of you that I want to talk to when you go into hypnosis talking to someone about their unconscious mind is extremely hypnotic and a great way to conversationally kickstart the hypnotic process simply by adding slight emphasis to certain phrases or introducing a tiny pause at appropriate points you can enhance the hypnotic quality of what you're saying without yet fully engaging your induction tone so for example now there's a part of you which is separate from the conscious you listening to me right now and that part knows how to produce dreams at night
it knows how to relax you deeply it knows how to digest your food and blinkin pump blood around the body all beyond conscious awareness it knows more than you do about many things that happen in your body and your mind and this is that part of you I taught you when you go into hypnosis okay to describe it gnosis to induce hypnosis describing hypnosis is hypnotic but it doesn't feel like a formal induction because well you know because you're you're just describing human OSIS but if you deepen and slow your voice a little having subtle
emphasis as described you signal to the clients unconscious mind without actually spelling it out that it's time to go inward just like a storytelling voice child knows at its time I might start to get the client drifting subtly in and out of trance talking about the nature of what they're soon going to experience more deeply so I might say something like when you go into hypnosis you just start to feel a little dreamy sometimes you start to focus on sensations in the body like comfort and warmth in your hands or you begin to notice that
breathing and the way it slows a little and often the eyelids start to feel a little heavier like they're feeling sleepy and sometimes images flit into your mind of Pleasant places like the way the sky looks so blue on a summer's day at the beach or the birds sing in the woods sometimes and when people drift Indian gnosis the muscles in the face often start to smooth though you pay less attention to the room around you as you really just start to forget about all that and drift inwards so you see how a conversational description
of hypnosis can start the serve as an indirect hypnotic induction itself so practice this and you'll find your clients face is smoothing over and their blink response is steadily slowing before you can say this is just a chat we're having okay so if I carry ously they start to go into hypnosis three talk about other people's experience of hypnosis so will really relate to other people's experience this is why watching movies and reading novels can feel so compelling because we identify with the characters on one level we feel what they feel you can use this
in your hypnotherapy sessions by describing how you hypnotize other people and what happens to them for example you know I was helping someone go into hypnosis the other day and he asked me what he needed to do to go into trance and I said you know all you need to do is nothing at all except focus on my words and whether you listen to them consciously or unconsciously really doesn't matter and as you start to relax now in your arms and the way that you breathe deep rest into those hands and legs sometimes you'll be
consciously aware and sometimes your mind will drift and it would be as though you've stopped consciously listening to me and both those responses are fine now this is interesting because although obsessively I'm talking about what I said to another person the person I'm talking to right now here's all the words in the in the in that way as if I'm talking directly to them this is the famous embedded command technique used when the context of talking about someone else is applied to the experience of someone talking to you so the effect is that the client
doesn't feel any pressure to respond in any particular way because basically you're just talking about what you said to someone else okay although the message of course is for them the beauty of this method is that in addition to adding emphasis and pauses and as I just did then you can also go into your full induction mode in the appropriate places moving back out again is required that's priming your client for what is to come so using these kinds of approaches is a seamless way of introducing hypnosis into your clinical practice so but by the
time you are ready to do the hypnosis your client could be finding it rather hard to keep out of hypnosis so I hope you found that useful and if you did please hit like and subscribe and if you want to hear when my next video is published hit the notification belt below I'm mark Terrell of uncommon knowledge and if you'd like to subscribe to my email newsletter you can find it over at uncom slash blog that's unk comm slash blog and thanks for watching [Music] you
