Personalised Induction

INTRODUCTION In this essay I will be looking at the methods and techniques that are used to personalise a screed, to suit working with different clients. I will also give an outline of my understanding of Hypnosis and in my conclusion I will consider whether a personal induction will always be more effective.
WHAT IS A PERSONALISED INDUCTION? A personalised induction is a hypnotic induction that is tailored to suit a specific individual. Although as humans we all appear to be quite similar, we are different in many ways. We come from different cultural backgrounds and have different likes and dislikes, outlooks, values and perspectives. When working with the subconscious mind in Hypnosis, we need to try and achieve the best chance
When we are daydreaming or reading a book that interests us we may find that we are reliving the experience. This is a very useful human trait that enables us to enhance our use of hypnotherapy. Our brains create our mental state, so if we think of something that causes us to become distressed, anxious or fearful we can have a physical reaction. This can work both ways, if we think of something that makes us happy and or relaxed we can become happy and relaxed. If a suggestion was planted into our subconscious mind during hypnosis, this suggestion may have a physical reaction. Some personalities are more inclined to react to certain experiences. Our brain makes sense of information and can store information for later use. Experiences can be received by the brain from our senses; parts of our brain have been designated to our senses. We have a Visual Cortex, an Auditory Cortex, and an Olfactory Cortex and so on... Bandler and Grindler revoluntioned psychology by using the terms and definitions of Modalities. (The word modalities refers to a certain type of information/and/or the representation format in which information is stored) as the first language of our
He was very spontaneous in his screeds and would use waking Hypnosis when talking to a client. Waking hypnosis is a technique that is used in conversation with the client before the main hypnosis begins. This would assist the client into being more open and accepting and would build up a rapport. The use of permissive/Naturalistic language in a screed (you may like to/you could) ensures that the screed doesn’t contain any negative language, and contains references and metaphors involving the natural world. If the client were to cough/sneeze you would incorporate this into the screed. Modalities would be included into the client’s personal induction, this would include objects/subjects from their inner world, favourite colour, place, word or gesture.
Here are examples of some criteria that might be put in an Ericksonian type screed:-
