...“A personalised induction will always be more effective”. Discuss. Word Count: 2179 There are many factors involved in an induction session which include aspects such as belief, relaxation, compliance, imagination and selective attention. In order to be able to demonstrate whether personalising an induction is always more effective I will need to discuss the different types of modalities, induction styles and the methods used in which to tailor a screed to meet the particular needs of the client. By having a good understanding of modalities, hypnotherapists are able to personalise screeds specifically to the individual. When a client’s modality is ascertained it is then possible to talk to them in a way that they feel most comfortable. Often, hypnotherapists will prefer to begin an induction by emphasising the client’s preferred modality and then go onto introduce the others gradually as this is intended create a safe and comfortable environment for them (Chrysalis, 2010). Learning modalities are the sensory channels or pathways through which individuals give, receive, and store information (Jenkins & Johnson, 2013). Perception, memory, and sensation comprise the concept of modality and these senses include visual, auditory, tactile/kinaesthetic, smell, and taste. Most people learn with all their modalities, but some may have unusual strengths and weaknesses in particular modalities. For example, when asked to imagine a beautiful garden, some people...

...In this essay I will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of a personalised induction. I will describe the methods and techniques that are used to personalise screeds when working with different clients by looking at modalities and different types of scripts and finally conclude by deciding whether I feel it is important to personalise the induction. At the initial appointment with a hypnotherapist, a client will be assessed in order to gain an understanding of what they want to achieve from the therapy sessions and to ascertain if the client has a good understanding of how hypnotherapy can be achieved. The hypnotherapist will start to build up a rapport with the client, helping to build trust and thus, reassure the client so that they can get the most from the sessions. It is usually necessary to correct the patients expectations and beliefs and allay fears, since any misapprehensions or anxiety will integer with the entire experience and may even prevent him from entering the hypnotic state. (Karle et al, 1987,23) Each client is unique and different in many ways, and no two assessments will ever give the same results. This is because of many different factors, for example, different cultural backgrounds and differing ways in which people are bought up. Everyone has their own unique outlooks, values and perspectives, likes and dislikes, fears and phobias, alcohol and drug use. Once the hypnotherapist has gathered all the relevant information and perhaps...

Base your answers on theoretical concepts and techniques presented in class. In this essay I will discuss 'A personalised induction will always be more effective’ by looking at theoretical concepts and techniques. I will be looking at the permissive technique through the work of Erickson and will take a look at the use of authoritarian screeds through the work of Hull and Freud, who were known as more traditional hypnotherapists. I will also look at modalities as another technique in personalising inductions. This essay will argue, and conclude, that a personalised induction will be more effective. Whether a personalised induction will always be more effective can be somewhat debatable depending on the goals of the therapy. Introducing this essay, I will be agreeing with the topic on one level but will be disputing its frequency. Although this essay will also be looking at not personalising the induction the evidence for this is weak and only serves in strengthening the reasoning that personalising the induction is more effective. Personalising Inductions In today’s society modern professional hypnotists assess their clients and get an understanding of their goals and what they want to achieve from the therapy.

...“A personalised induction will always be more effective.” Discuss. Base your answer on theoretical concepts and techniques presented in class. | There are many different ways in which a hypnotic screed can be personalised to suit the individual that they are being tailored for; just as there are many different types of personalities and experiences to be taken into account when doing so. Because in hypnotherapy we are working with the clients subconscious mind we need to make sure that it is as accessible as is possible, and there are a number of ways of doing this. Hadley and Staudacher write that, “The language of an induction is designed to communicate opinions, thoughts, and feelings. It focuses your attention on yourself, your inner experiences, and your body. It helps you to become absorbed into the realm of imagination and to communicate below the level of consciousness.”[1] Much of the way that human beings communicate with each other is in ways other than the spoken word; body language, facial expressions,gestures, tone of voice and intonation and so on make up some of the non verbal ways of getting information across. In contrast to this during hypnosis the therapist has very few of the above techniques available; the client would usually have their eyes shut and so non verbal communications are not possible; it is solely about the voice, the words used and how they are used. It is because of this that some may believe that using a personalised screed...

...clients eyes are generally shut, therefore body language is more often than not, inappropriate to use. It is also unlikely a therapist is going to use particularly exuberant or expressive tone of voice due to the process requiring relaxation. Therefore a therapist must be extremely selective with what they say to a client, in order to achieve the desired results. Many humans can appear to be the same. Some may look alike; have similar body shapes, similar physical characteristics, similar preferences or the same taste in things. In fact, it can be quite astonishing to learn just how unbelievably unique every single person is. Every person has their own likes, dislikes, opinions, preferences, outlooks and values that make them up to be an individual. Each person has been brought up with different families, cultures, religions and backgrounds. “A human being is a single being. Unique and unrepeatable” Dr. Alfred A Barrois considered this when attempting to determine the success rates of Hypnosis, and what made them more (or less) effective. He discovered the following: Home Study Self Help Hypnosis: Success Rate 2-5% Group Hypnosis: Success Rate 2-5% Single Individual Session: Success Rate 17-20% Three Individual Sessions: Success Rate 45-50% Five + Individual Sessions: Success Rate 85-90% These success rates show the obvious increase in success rates when a session is individual; and therefore personalised.

...A personalised Induction will always be more effective Lorraine Hackett August 2014 For this assignment I have been asked to look at and discuss why or why not a personalised induction is more effective. I believe that a personalised induction is a vital part of giving the most effective treatment that is based on the individuals own needs. Many people coming for treatment for the first time have their own beliefs, many people still believe that you are put into an unconscious state and many individuals still think of stage hypnosis. With these beliefs and anxieties, it is important to build a trusting relationship and a good rapport with your client prior to any treatment to allay any fears and anxieties they may have. By completing a thorough professional introduction, assessment and induction in a comfortable setting you are reassuring your client that you know what you are doing so that they can believe in you and feel more comfortable. It is beneficial to give the client information on hypnotherapy, its background and the process. You should be informing the client that you are not making them do anything, that they are fully in control at all times and the results are of their own making. We are only giving them the tools to enable those results. By this time your client should be feeling more comfortable and relaxed. Once your client is fully informed you are then able to provide a service that is tailor made for that individual, ensuring the best possible outcome...

...“A personalised induction will always be more effective”. Discuss. Base your answers on theoretical concepts and techniques presented in class. Introduction When a person decides to undergo hypnotherapy, an induction is required to ensure they are sufficiently relaxed to experience the process completely. Various formats are used depending on why the hypnosis is being undertaken eg giving up smoking, weight loss. Some hypnotherapists use a standard format while others personalise the script to each individual. There are many techniques a therapist can adopt to suit the client and their personality, but this must be based on first impressions and using the techniques to better define that person. It is these techniques that will be addressed in further detail. This essay will attempt to describe the advantages and disadvantages of using a personalised induction. It will discuss the methods and techniques that are used to personalise screeds when working with different clients by looking at modalities and different types of scripts and, finally, give a conclusion.

Word count 1907 "A personalised induction will always be more effective." Introduction In this essay we will be looking at the methods and techniques we use to personalize our screeds to suit the client that we are working with and discuss if a personalized induction will always be more effective. Although all humans appear quite similar we are different in many ways. We have different likes and dislikes, come from different cultural backgrounds and will have been brought up in environments that have provided us with different outlooks, values and perspectives. When we use hypnosis with a client we are working with the subconscious mind so in order to achieve the best chance of success we need to do our utmost to assist our clients to realise the most beneficial state possible. There are several techniques that we can employ that alter the language we use to suit the personality and individuality of the client. When we communicate with other people it seems that we generally do so using language- in fact this is not entirely true because our body language, tone and volume are far more important ingredients in communication than the words that we utter. In fact the words that we use make up only 7% of our communication, with tone and volume coming...

...Words “A personalised induction will always be more effective” In this essay I will discuss the importance of a personalised induction in relaxation and if it is always more effective. As we know all individuals are different, not just the outward appearance but the inward person to. People have different characters and personalities built on their genes influences through life experiences, friends, school and age. It is important when we first meet the client to get as much information and history as possible. The client must also be made aware of how hypnotherapy works so that mutual realistic expectations can be agreed, for example; if someone wants to lose weight, it is about changing their eating habits and retraining their subconscious mind, not a quick fix. All of the information gathered will give a clearer picture about their likes, dislikes, background, hobbies, fears, allergies and history of any illness’s and medication past and present. This will assist in not only finding out about their preferences and their modalities but will also be a time when anxiety levels can be reduced, a rapport and the trust between client and therapist can be built. Mutual trust, respect, belief and empathy are key to a successful initial meeting. This information also assists the therapist in determining an individual’s personality. A person’s preferences and modalities can change in order to a situation that they find themselves in. So you can see why the induction has to be flexible...

..."A Personalised Induction Will Always Be More Effective" When a client goes to see a hypnotherapist for a session it is an essential key to find out clues about them, to see what are there likes and dislikes and how they process. A hypnotherapist will usually in the first session try to get to know the client by having a general chat so that they can use an induction in the PMR which will be suitable for the client and make the experience more enjoyable. Clients should know that hypnothercapy is not a therapy but a process where a therapy can be effectively delivered. Humans are unique and have very different value systems. Value systems represent what people believe in, their own moral code, a sense of right and wrong, good and bad, their priorities and also what they experience to be positive and negative. Prevailing social and cultural ideas influence people. In addition, a persons upbringing and individual life experiences will influence their value system. There are several techniques which hypnotherapists can employ which alter the language we use to suit the personality and individuality of the client. These are language (the words that we utter,) body language, tone and volume. However, body language is not one that hypnotherapists can use because the client will usually have their eyes shut. I personally agree with the essay statement, a personalised induction will always...

Base your answer on theoretical concepts and techniques presented in class Module 2 Nicola Pepper Tutor: Jaswinder Challi Word count:2106 Introduction This paper will discuss methods and techniques used to personalise screeds to suit clients that we are working with. How we decide which modality to use on our clients, how important an initial consultation can be and my argument for using personalised screeds. I will discuss the factors involved in creating personalised screeds, and the benefits of creating a personalised screed for clients. Using different modalities and whether a script should be authoritative or permissive. The more personalised hypnotherapy is the more effective it will be, as whilst all of us appear quite similar, we are different in many ways. We have different likes and dislike; come from different cultural backgrounds; and will have been brought up in environments that have provided us with different outlooks, values and perspectives. If the best possible results are to be obtained in a hypnotherapy session there is a need to work closely with individuals in order to identify their likes and dislikes as well as their personality. In this way we can gain their trust and assist them in reaching a deep state of hypnosis. When we communicate with people we do not only use words but body language, with tone also playing a large part in what...

...A Personalised Induction Will Always Be More Effective I intend this essay to cover the subject matter, ranging from the use of authoritarian and/or permissive scripts through to the valuable use of the various modalities, Kinesthetic, Visual, Auditory, Olfactory and Gustatory. I also intend to, in brief, describe the relationship between Milton Erickson and Clark Hull, and their opposing opinions with regard to this subject matter. In support of the personalised induction, perhaps we should take note of the lyrics to the popular WW11 song “Bless Them All” as it proclaims, we are “The Long and the Short and the Tall…” and as such we all clothe ourselves differently, even when wearing something that it is uniform, due to the difference in our shapes and sizes. If you wear a size eight shoe, and borrow a size eight shoe from someone else, it will almost fit, but not quite. There will be little bumps and hollows in the shoe where they have molded to the owners foot. The same has to be said for all aspects of an individual’s personality, ranging from contrary tastes of reading materials right through to cultural and heritage differences. Even identical twins, which is arguably the closest two people can be, will develop separate and different personalities. It’s these “bumps and hollows” that make us us. You can present a group of people with the same situation, and because of the differences in the way people deal with things; their reactions are liable to be completely different...

...examples of internal factors are the size of a business. A larger business would find it much easier to source this could be because they are more well-known to the public and they would also be more financially able to advertise a post to get a larger range of applicants. Recruitment policies also have an effect ie recruiting from internal sources and external sources can affect the recruitment process. Generally recruitment through internal sources is preferred because own employees know the organisation and can fit well into the culture. The Image of the company has influence on the recruitment process. Good image of the company earned by the actions of management helps attract potential candidates. Managerial actions like good public relations can help earn image. Image of the job also has an affect such as better salaries and good working conditions are considered the characteristics of good image of a job. Also, promotion and personal development policies of an organisation also attract potential candidates. Some examples of external factors are Demographic factors; employees have a big influence on the recruitment process. Demographic factors include, age, sex, literacy, economic status etc. Labour market conditions have an affect ie supply and demand of labour is a huge importance in affecting recruitment process. If the demand is for more than one particular skill recruitment will be relatively easier. Unemployment situation has an effect. When the employment rate in an area...

...Why is the initial consultation so important? What factors will an ethical therapist cover at this time? During this essay I will deliver the importance of the initial consultation between the therapist and the client including the ethical factors. I will discuss the procedures of the initial consultation and how the therapist will gather the information required. I will also look at the ethical considerations that face the therapist and any particular challenges of the actual consultation itself. The initial consultation can be a very powerful tool for both the client and the therapist. In seeing the clients for the first time, some therapists decide to offer a free initial consultation. This should last for about half an hour. There are times when it is not needed as in a one off quit smoking session, but even so it is vital that you gain information about the client’s health and current medication. However it is a personal choice as to whether you offer a free consultation. There are many pros and cons to holding an initial consultation before sessions commence. The main pros include building rapport by meeting the client face to face to assess whether or not you are able to work with them, if you need to consult your supervisor before going ahead, what their main goal is and if you can achieve this or not. You can get to know a client and gain an understanding of their history, including family history and any other therapies they may have already had, especially...
