Essay title: “A personalised induction will always be more effective”. Introduction The purpose of this assignment is to discuss the merits of a personalised induction. In order to do this I will aim to demonstrate that the personalised induction is always more effective, in order to prove this hypothesis will need to consider the modalities in which we work along with different styles both authoritarian and permissive and the efficacy in each type of induction. When undertaking hypnosis as a therapist it is usually because the client has come to you for the purpose of some kind of therapeutic were. In order to achieve this the client needs to achieve a hypnotic state and therefore an induction is required to ensure that the subject is sufficiently relaxed to allow the therapist and client access to the subconscious mind in order for therapy to take place.
“A Personalised induction will always be more effective” Discuss. Base your answer on theoretical concepts and techniques presented in class. Introduction In order to be able to discuss the effectiveness of personalising an induction, it is important firstly that we explore what is meant by the term personal induction and define it clearly. On doing so, we can then look at the concepts involved in the process. The rest of this essay will focus on the arguments in favour of personalised inductions and the arguments against personalised induction, before drawing a conclusion.
Inductions differ in style and manner. They can be authoritative ('You are becoming more and more relaxed and you will feel yourself...;, or 'I want you to imagine yourself...') or they can be more permissive (Perhaps you would like to...' or 'You may find that...'). Such differences are likely to be shown equally in the tone of voice, style of delivery, and so on. Each practitioner will find or choose a style that he finds congenial and suits the particular patient of the moment. - Hypnotherapy A practical Handbook Hellmut W.A.

WORDS: 1945 In order to address this essay question, I will first highlight what is meant by a personal induction and why it may be used. I will also demonstrate some examples of how a personal induction can be used and how this may be beneficial for the person under hypnosis, including a brief explanation on the use of modalities. I will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of such an approach in order to evaluate whether a personal induction is more effective or whether an alternative approach could prove more beneficial.
Lawrence Crabb claims that the goal of counseling should be psychological and spiritual maturity. Counselors should also seek to assist their clients in reaching their full potential for a life of service. He explains that this accomplished through the counseling relationship. This relationship will vary from client to client. Despite the variations amongst all individuals, Crabb believed that it is important to “abstract a game plan” (Crabb, 1986, p.149) which can be applied to a wide range of situations.
‘A personalised induction will always be more effective’. Discuss. Base your answer on theoretical concepts and techniques presented in class. The suggestion that a personalised induction is always more effective is based on overwhelming evidence that the client achieves a more effective hypnotic state when the induction is tailored to his or her needs, belief systems and personality. In this essay I will discuss the theoretical concepts and techniques I have been learning about and my own experiences both as a recipient and deliverer of various induction styles and how effective they appear to be based on my observations and feedback from fellow students.
We cannot force happiness in our consciousness. Recognize that we cannot be always happy is a big challenge because it means that we have to give space in our life to sadness as well. We would not expect us to feel happiness after we lost a relative. Although the psychological immune system engages immediately (we will never see our relative again!) by trying to explain the phenomenon, it takes time in the consciousness to adapt to the positive idea (He is going off to a better place), relieving us from that unhappy condition in which we encounter.
It is also important to assess a client’s preferred modality in order to form a screed based around this. Whilst it is important to use all modalities in a screed a client will respond better and deepen in to a trance if the script is tailored to their preferred
Using modality is one way we have to personalise screeds although it is beneficial to use all the senses when trying to create a safe and comfortable space for a client. Modalities play a big part in personalising inductions as assessing the client as an individual helps decide which style will best suit that person. As you begin the process of learning how to hypnotise, you’ll begin to understand that there are two basic styles of hypnotic induction, and these are the Permissive style and the Authoritative style. The permissive style is the more usual style in therapeutic situations where the client needs to feel like they are in control of the situation before they can begin to relax. Attending a hypnosis session for the first time can be a scary thing because of all the mythology that a person probably has about hypnosis.
For many the relationship between client and counsellor is crucial to the success of the therapy and is based on trust and respect. Within counselling there are three main schools of influence namely the psychodynamic school, the humanistic school and the cognitive behaviour school (Nelson-Jones, 2011). The client or person-centred approach belongs to the humanistic school. Developed by Carl Rogers as an alternative to psychoanalyses and behaviourism during the 1950s, (McLeod, 2008, p170) he believed it would “help clients fulfil their unique potential” (Nelson-Jones 2011 p.83). He also attributed a certain mystical dimension to this form of counselling and emphasised the spiritual bond between client and counsellor (Nelson-Jones 2011).
