PRE-INDUCTION INTERVIEW
An intake interview is done, general life-style information is gathered and suggestibility testing is performed.

During this interview both written and verbal information about your issues is gathered. Information such as when the issue is a problem, when it is worse or  better, how it affects you, how would you like it to be. 

We'll also explore your motiation for change.   It's important that you understand that for lasting change to take place your decision to utilize hypnosis must be self-directed.

If you are seeing a consulting hypnotist for the first time, you probably do not know what to expect; and might have misconceptions about the process.  For instance, you may feel as though your body is asleep and that your mind is aware and may question whether you've been hypnotized.  During our pre-induction interview, I will explain how hypnosis is an interactive, cooperative experience., and that we build the hypnotic experience together. (All hypnosis is really self hypnosis).   In your first session, I'll determine what type of induction will suit you best and what suggestions will be appropriate for you.  We'll establish trust, build rapport, build your sense of positive expectation and correct any misconceptions you have. Each subsequent session begins with an interview to determine your progress and current goals.

SETTING REALISTIC, POSITIVE GOALS
Together, we'll identify a goals that are positive, realistic, believable and achievable.    For instance, rather than "I don't want to be nervous in front of crowds." for your goal...  We would re-phrase the goal to.  "I am calm and confident in front of crowds." 

THE INDUCTION
There are many types of hypnotic inductions.  Over several sessions, inductions can become instantaneous or rapid because positive expectation and post hypnotic suggestions for trance have been established. However, depending on your needs, inductions can last from 10-20 minutes and might incorporate several induction processes.

Initially, I will choose the method that best suits your personality and needs and program direct suggestions while you are in trance.  In direct suggestion, a client interacts verbally very little, if at all, with the hypnotist. 

Later, interactive hypnosis, (where the hypnotist and the client converse back and forth) may be introduced. Guided imagery, and mental rehearsal is also part of this interactive approach.  All sessions include post-hypnotic suggestions to anchor desired change.

SUGGESTIONS FOR CHANGE
Hypnotic suggestion is a rapid yet long lasting way for a client to reframe negative old beliefs and patterns of behavior into new and positive beliefs and behaviors that result in success. 

REVIEW/SUGGESTIONS
The post-hypnotic suggestions are programmed.  A post hypnotic suggestion empowers you by accessing inner resources without the continued need for the hypnotist. 

MENTAL REHEARSAL
Mental rehearsal is simply a way of checking the efficacy of the post-hypnotic suggestions and determining whether or not the processes were completed.  You'll know success has been achieved if you are able to imagine yourself in a situation that previously triggered undesirable responses and  you are now able to invoke the newly anchored positive response. 

EMERGING FROM TRANCE
After "emerging" suggestions are given, you will emerge, remember your session, and feel wonderfully refreshed from the hypnotic experience.
