Читать книгу How to Hypnotize and Influence Someone Effectively: The Essential Guide to Hypnotism and Mind Control - Valerie L. Paul - Страница 7

Although there won’t seem to be much after this explanation, it’s actually a lot more to take in than what you’ll think. When you actually reach the point of performing hypnosis on a third party, it’s recommended that you spend one day going through one section.

It’s not because there’s a lot to cover. It’s because you’re going to need time to practice to get it right. You don’t have to worry so much when you perform hypnosis on yourself. It’s essentially the same process, just easier.

Note that these are the basic steps to any hypnotherapy session and that’s all we’re going to cover.

This book is only laying down the foundation for you so you can decide for yourself if hypnosis is right for you. If it is and you want to go more in-depth with the work, then there are other complex books out there, which are written to break down the complexity of hypnotism as well as additional methods for hypnosis.

So, in general, each hypnotherapy session includes a pre-talk, an induction, a deepening, a script, and a trance terminal. Basically, what you’re doing in each session is bringing your client from point A to point B and back to point A. Let’s start by defining what each of those mean. The pre-talk is the beginning of your session. You cannot do hypnosis without a pre-talk.

It is the foundation of hypnosis so it must be done first. When you begin with a pre-talk, you’re simply reassuring your client that they are in control of their mind for the whole session. This is necessary at the start of each session simply because you’re ridding the fear in your client.

You want them to feel comfortable before the session begins and you want them to know that they are always 100% in control of their own conscious.

What you should also do in the first session, and this doesn’t have to be repeated more than once, is to educate your client about hypnosis. Tell your client, or audience, about what hypnosis is and what it can do to help them.

Don’t wait for them to ask you. It’s common courtesy for you, as a professional, to tell them what they should expect from you. This way, they won’t come up with any false accusations as to what you are doing to them and why it’s not working. Think of it as a way for you to give them some mental preparation before beginning.

After your pre-talk, you have to move into the induction. Basically, the induction is an attempt to move your client into a light trance. This is where the hypnotism begins to occur.

Then, it’s the deepening. Don’t expect too much from deepening. The concept is almost the same as the induction. For deepening, you’re only bringing your client into a deeper trance, meaning that your client is going deeper into hypnosis.

Of course, there is still some explanations to be done about deepening so don’t expect to skip the section when you’ve reached it. Once you’ve successfully deepened your client’s consciousness, you may then move on to script.

Now, script is the most important part of hypnosis. The script is the therapy of hypnotherapy, so it’s not something you can rush through. Make sure you pay close attention when you get to that section because it is vitally important. Last is the trance termination.

What trance termination does is that it brings your client out of their hypnosis state. Basically, it brings your client back to reality and makes them fully conscious of their surroundings. This is probably as easy to do and learn as the pre-talk, so don’t sweat it once you’ve reached it.

Now that you have a general idea on what to expect before you begin to learn about hypnotherapy, here are a few basic tips you should keep in mind. Remember that everyone is different. If you are planning on testing hypnosis on yourself first, do not rely on the same method you used for yourself on others.

As a future hypnotherapist, you need to be flexible. In fact, you should be flexible in all your sessions. This isn’t just about making a backup for your backup. It’s about making multiple backups, which you can use to compliment the personality and needs of your clients.

You can also work on speaking slowly and monotonously. Don’t use any pitch in your voice and don’t express your words. Your goal is to bore your clients so they will move into the hypnotic stage.

Also, present yourself as a positive person. If you’re usually a pessimist then you’re going to have to do a 180-degree on yourself for your clients. To get anything done and make progress with your clients, you need to always stay optimistic when they are around.
