![]() However, many popular progressive inductions can be made more rapid ( rapid progressive). Shock, pattern-interrupt and confusion/overload inductions often have a physical element, which may make them unsuitable for some clients. Once the client looks/sounds ‘overloaded’, simply tell them to “ sleep”. To make it even more complex you could ask them to rotate their left foot clockwise and their right hand counter-clockwise. An example of this is with the praying mantis induction, having them look up at a light, with their hands elevated in a strange position, whilst you tap them randomly on their back and they spell their full name backwards out loud, quickly. An easy way to create a confusion or overload is to ask the client to do/think several things at once. If you are a little cautious in using such a rapid induction with a new client, you could do some preliminary hypnosis work, then get them to open their eyes, carry on talking about smoking cessation and then use the handshake induction as a re-induction.Ĭonfusion and overload rapid inductions are superb for use with analytical and logical clients, especially those for whom you feel won’t be fully mentally occupied with either a simple rapid (such as magnetic hands), or a more permissive progressive induction. ![]() For example, if you are conducting a smoking cessation session you can ask for a handshake from the client as a commitment that they are ready to become a non smoker, to ‘seal the deal’ and use this opportunity to induce hypnosis with a handshake induction. ![]() ![]() However, with a little planning, you can easily build them in to the session. Now, you are unlikely to go straight into a handshake induction as the client walks into the room (the obvious time for shaking hands). The idea is that they interrupt an expected pattern of response, such as going to shake a hand and then giving their arm a brief tug with the command “ sleep”. Pattern-interrupt inductions, such as the handshake induction, require appropriate timing. In addition, as you are likely going to be touching your client (appropriately!) remember to mention this in your client briefing, as to tell them this just before the shock would likely spoil the shock. However, as shock inductions are physical, do remember to check for any contra-indications or physical issues before using them with each client. Thirdly, they are dramatic, so can impress a client. They save valuable therapy session time, giving you more time for the key parts of the therapy process itself. Secondly, as with all rapid inductions, shock inductions are really efficient in terms of time. Rather than say to a new client that their expectation of going into hypnosis quickly (and perhaps dramatically) is wrong, it can be better for rapport and a successful outcome of therapy to meet their expectations (appropriately). Firstly, they can be good at meeting some client’s expectations. Whilst you might not use these in a therapy session with a frail or elderly client, they do have their place. At some point a physical shock, accompanied by a command such as a “sleep” is given. A popular example of this might the 8-word/hand drop induction, or the magnetic hands induction. Shock inductions tend to incorporate a ‘shock’, unsurprisingly. Each offers different benefits for their use in therapy. They are shock, pattern-interrupt, confusion/ overload and rapid-progressive. There are four key types of rapid induction that a hypnotherapist may choose to use in therapy settings. This blog will explore how rapid inductions can contribute to the hypnotherapy session, as well as their use by a hypnotherapist in healthcare settings and in demonstrations and presentations. There are many benefits for the hypnotherapist in having a range of rapid inductions in their ‘toolbox’. Are rapid inductions just for street hypnosis and stage hypnosis? Definitely not.
