Hi, I’m Clinical Hypnotherapist Dr. Steve G. Jones. I’m here to share my knowledge of hypnosis with you, to help you change your life. It doesn’t matter who you are. If you’re here to improve your life, I’m here for you. How to hypnotize someone is a mystery to so many people. I’m here to tell you it’s all about knowing what to say and how and when to say it. I’m going to show you how to hypnotize someone, so that you can help them work on anything that is causing them a challenge. You can also use this information to hypnotize yourself. First, you need to induce the hypnotic state… After establishing rapport with the client, the hypnotic induction can begin. The induction is the first part of a five-part hypnotherapy session. It is used to relax the client into a hypnotic state. The proper use of an induction is essential to any hypnosis session. Hypnotic induction is the process that a practitioner uses to get a patient into a state of hypnosis. Dr. Matthew Whalley, a clinical psychologist in the UK’s National Health Service and author of Hypnosis and Suggestion, suggests that practitioners start by “giving a willing participant instructions to focus on the hypnotist’s voice, to concentrate their attention, and to pay attention to their inner mental world.” This can be accomplished using a variety of techniques, based on the personality and needs of the patient and expertise of the practitioner. When using a relaxation technique, the practitioner helps the patient relax physically by guiding them through consciously relaxing each part of their body. While a patient is sitting or lying in a comfortable position, the practitioner will speak to them soothingly, saying things such as “Now think about your arms. Relax the muscles, letting them sink into the chair, loose and limp.” The practitioner goes through each area of the body and muscle group until the patient is completely relaxed and in a hypnotized state. This is one of the most straightforward techniques for hypnotic induction and is widely practiced. The relaxation technique is one of the first hypnotic induction techniques a practitioner should master, as it can be used on so many different patients in a variety of mental states. Hypnotic induction can also occur using a muscle tightening technique. This is similar to relaxation, but includes a guided tightening and relaxing of various muscle groups prior to relaxation. It is thought to increase or heighten relaxation, leading to a deeper hypnotic state. Hypnotic induction using visualization is another widely used technique in which a practitioner guides the patient to another location or setting in their mind. This can be especially calming for those who struggle to put their own thoughts aside and focus. The goal of this technique is to help the patient relax by having them visualize a place or environment where they feel relaxed. Many practitioners use a hypnotic induction script to help provide details and visual imagery that will get the patient into their most relaxed state. A hypnotic deepening is used after an induction to relax the client more deeply into a hypnotic state. A hypnotic deepening (or deepener) is exactly what it sounds like – a way to get someone into a deeper trance during hypnosis. Entering a deeper state of hypnosis allows the client to be even more open to suggestion. For those working on positive lifestyle changes, such as smoking cessation, anxiety relief, or improved sleep, this deeper state can make the session more likely to succeed. Effective hypnotic deepeners also take words into account. A skilled practitioner will guide clients “down” during a visualization or “deeper” into a scene. This is especially important to remember when writing hypnotic deepening scripts. It is crucial that the imagery and words used guide a client to a deeper state of relaxation and ultimately result in an effective hypnosis session. Start by talking slowly, drawing out your words to set a tone of relaxation for the session. Silence is also a useful technique. Build in 30-60 seconds of silence to your hypnotic deepener. Physical techniques can also be useful to use during hypnotic deepening. Imagery that focuses on limbs getting heavier, especially during a hypnotic deepening when the client is already open to the practitioner’s suggestions, will result in them actually experiencing heavy limbs. Slow, methodical breathing can also be used to deepen the client’s sense of relaxation and act as catalysts for going deeper into hypnosis.
