The purpose of this essay is to explore and illustrate how and why the building of rapport between a client and a therapist is paramount to a successful hypnosis result. It will look at how and when we can build a good rapport, considering the purpose of the notation form and explain the role of the Conscious Critical Faculty and what part it plays in successful hypnosis.…
To construct the therapeutic frame, psychodynamic therapists utilise conventions that are not only very discipliners but also entirely incompatible with social relationships. This makes the rame act as a demarcation to set the scene for therapy by delineating the therapeutic relationship from all other associations in the life of the client (Mathison, 2009). As such, the client is able to express their thoughts, fantasies and feelings, some of which would not be acceptable in many other types of relationships, and are actually discouraged and shunned in some therapeutic models. In the end, the client is facilitated to access unconscious materials through a framework comprised of clinical techniques that include transference and counter-transference exploration (Zunker, 2011).…
In my Grill and Grape world everything is backwards, specifically job responsibilities. At Reifschneider’s, there are many job titles, at the moment, I am an expo. I am only an expo because I can not be a server until I turn 18. I still want to be a server, mainly because servers get paid $4.80 an hour plus tips made from their tables. An expo only receives $8.25 an hour with no tips. Throughout a typical night, as an expo, I stand in the kitchen reading food tickets, preparing plates, and run the food to the tables. A server’s night includes taking orders, entering them into the computer, and keeping the customers happy. Easily, the most annoying difference is that expo’s sweat their butts off in the kitchen…

Steven Lafevers, a certified counselor and hypnotherapist, presents the reader with an array of methods and techniques associated with hypnotherapy. The reading offers detailed step by step methods of induction and foundational principles with little to no jargon or erroneous claims. A full spectrum of life challenges are identified, with respective hypnotic prescriptions presented as cathartic tools of hope and healing. The founding fathers of hypnotherapy are identified herein, as are the concept of suggestion and self-hypnosis as a constant state. The Christian perspective is discussed, albeit briefly, leaving the reader oddly comfortable with the idea of incorporating said techniques in one’s toolbox of therapeutic techniques. Although thorough in its description of methods and foundations of hypnotherapy, formal training and practice is well advised. Any and all therapists may benefit from the emphasis upon the therapeutic relationship, agreeably an essential component in counseling even from the most conservative Christian perspective.…

Hypnosis can be traced as far back as the ancient Egyptians where it was used as a means of curing illnesses through suggestion, it was known as the curing sleep. Hypnosis can be described as a sleep like trance and a state of heightened relaxation, that hypnotists today call a trance state this is where you are more susceptible to suggestion and influence. Hypnosis can be used in many ways such as stage entertainment, therapy and as a means of investigation. For example Milton Erickson who is known as the father of modern hypnosis said “You use hypnosis not as a cure but as a means of establishing a favourable climate in which to learn.” (1 Erickson http://pfti.org/great-teachers/milton-erickson-2/milton-erickson-quotes/), this is a great way of looking at the use of hypnosis in therapy. Hypnosis is still very much clouded by scepticism and cynicism but in the last few years it has started to become more widely accepted and understood by the scientific community “in recent years, hypnosis has gained momentum and acceptance as part of the evolution of our health care system.” (2 Hadley + Staudacher – p7). During this essay I would like to explain the different aspects of hypnosis and how they affect the client, also the after effects of hypnosis and also how important these factors are to get the client into a trance state. I will also like to discuss the role of relaxation in hypnotherapy by looking at it from both the client’s point of view and the therapist’s point of view and also look at its role within the induction, pre and post hypnotic state. When looking at hypnosis there are two aspects, physical and psychological, both of which are the integral parts of hypnosis. Although the psychological aspect is more prominent the physical aspect of hypnosis also plays a big part during the whole process…

We experience the “hypnotic state” in everyday life and it often occurs without recognition as such. It is believed that our mind can drift from alert state into different level of consciousness whenever we do activities in automatic mode, like driving, jogging, taking a shower, walking, etc. These are hypnotic-like trances. The main differences between these sorts of trance and clinical hypnosis are specific motivation and suggestions to achieve some desired results. Therapist may use hypnosis to explore patient’s unconsciousness, to identity whether past events or experiences are associated with causing a problem. One of the most accepted axioms of hypnotherapy that nothing can be done with hypnosis that cannot be done without. Barber (1969) offered considerable experimental evidence for “Anything you can do I can do...” At the same time, since hypnosis occurs spontaneously in therapy as well as in ordinary life it is impossible to ignore the part played by hypnosis in the service of the patient.…
The scope for the hypnotherapist which personalised inductions provide is vast, with techniques, observations and methods available to enhance its application. It is stated by Karle and Boys (page 8, 1987) that “Truly professional practice is characterized by the creation of a unique and original approach to each new patient, even though this will always be based upon and informed by validated theoretical models and principles.”…

The Psychodynamic Approach (Originator: Sigmund Freud 1856 – 1939) focuses on an individual’s unconscious thoughts that stem from childhood experiences and now affect their current behaviour and thoughts. The urges that drive us emanate from our unconscious and we are driven by them to repeat patterns of behaviour. Therapy includes free association, the analysis of resistance and transference, dream analysis and interpretation and is usually long term. The aim is to make the unconscious conscious in order for the client to gain insight.…
