I will also argue that however theoretically effective in achieving a trance state the personalised screed may be, other aspects of the therapist’s communication and interaction with the subject are equally, if not more important. These may compound or offset any benefits to be obtained by an effective personalised induction screed. The term induction applies to specific and standardised procedures that aim to relax a subject and facilitate his/her inward focus and detachment from the external environment, following which a further sequence of manoeuvres, encompassing the total hypnotherapy experience will ensue. A number of different types of induction, including rapid, fixation and relaxation methods may be suited to different situations, ranging from stage shows to the therapy environment. The therapist will select the method that best suits the context, purpose and client characteristics to optimise results.
To induce a hypnotic state in a therapeutic setting requires a structured approach. The induction is the first step to achieving a trance state, without it a deep state of trance is unlikely. The induction enables hypnotherapists to hold a patients visual attention and induce an oculo-motor fatigue response by using rhythmic, monotonous speech, resulting in the patient believing that they are hypnotised. It is viewed by Hellmut Karle and Jennifer Boys that “belief is the most important ingredient to the induction”. This has not always been the view and the importance of suggestibility has been researched and studied by some of the most influential figures in hypnotherapy.
He found that they appeared to be asleep yet were able to follow what he was saying. Similarly Puysegur found other clients also had the same reaction and thus rejected any magnetic force and suggested that it was more psychological force. Further work and development on this subject saw an English Doctor named James Braid who used the term hypnosis derived from the Greek God of sleep ‘Hypnos’. Whilst this was not an ideal name, as it doesn’t have anything to do with sleep he still felt that hypnosis was to do with suggestion and developed the eye fixation technique to get his clients into a trance state. Freud on the other hand felt positive that humans had mental processes and thus supported Hypnosis initially until he become more involved in free association, which is still used today.

In practice, the Hypnotherapist often (but not exclusively) requires the client to be in a relaxed state, frequently enlists the power of the client’s own imagination and may utilise a wide range of techniques from story telling, metaphor or symbolism (judged to be meaningful to the individual client) to the use of direct suggestions for beneficial change. Analytical techniques may also be employed in an attempt to uncover problems deemed to lie in a client’s past (referred to as the “there and then”) or therapy may concentrate more on a client’s current life and presenting problems (referred to as the “here and now”). It is generally considered helpful if the client is personally motivated to change (rather than relying solely on the therapist's efforts) although a belief in the possibility of beneficial change may be a sufficient starting point. Regardless of the techniques employed, perhaps the most important thing is that a client should expect to feel comfortable and at ease with their therapist. This is of particular importance in Hypnotherapy, in which the value of the treatment is greatly enhanced when there is confidence in the practitioner.

What for, can we use hypnosis? Hypnosis is very useful because it can help us program the mind, put new beliefs in it or to strengthen the old ones. Since the subconscious controls our behaviour, we can install completely new behaviour patterns. Imagine the things we could do having the ability to modify the old unwanted beliefs and thoughts.
