By the use of a prepared PMR the therapist using a certain tone to their voice and a delivery of speech that is slow and reassuring, the patient will start to feel very relaxed to eventually falling into a state of hypnosis or hypnotic trance.

Hypnotic-like inductions were used to place the individual in a sleep-like state. From researching on the internet, I found that The British Medical Association has called hypnosis ‘a temporary condition of altered attention in the subject that may be induced by another person’.
