My Favourite Conversational Hypnosis Induction (Very Quick)

(Video transcribed)

So the next question is, Scott, what was your favorite induction? Not just for smoking, but for general problems as well. Do you have any advice? So what was my favorite? Oh, what was my favorite induction? Okay. so I think I’ve talked about this before. I didn’t have a specific favorite therapy induction where I, it would be like a, you know, is it like the close the eyes type technique? Is it like walk down the stairs technique?

Is it like the instant induction? Anything like that? I never really got into that stuff because I found, I just didn’t work with the way that I did things. It didn’t work with my resistant clients as well. We just did a video about resistant clients. So what I’d like to do is, I like to actually do, it’s quite funny. I like to actually do the, the induction itself, which is bypassing the conscious mind into more trance states.

I like to use the therapy and the induction at the same time. Now what I mean by this, it’s sort of like we know as therapists and coaches that our clients’ problem exists unconsciously. That’s why they can’t solve it. That’s why they hire you and me to help them solve it.

So the very art of asking your client about the problem they’re experiencing. So finding the symptoms, finding the root cause, finding the parameters, the what’s, the whens, the who’s the why’s, but asking your client questions about their problem, which every therapist should do. This should be the initial start of any sort of intervention to find out what the problem actually is in order for your client to explain what the problem is, which is unconscious.

They have to go into their unconscious mind to retrieve that information. So think of what we’re doing here by asking a client about their problem and finding out the very minor details and finding the root cause and what’s really going on.

Whether it’s like 10 questions or 20 questions, whatever it is they’re having to go into trance each time, retrieve the information, come out and tell us the information. Then they have to go back in cuz they’re answering our second question.

They come out, they go in, they’re out. This is almost like a fractionation approach. So what would happen in this case is, let’s say for example, I’m working with my lawyers. I’m asking about the smoking, asking the what the, who’s the wins, the why’s. By about the fifth, sixth, maybe seventh the question I could start to see the trance developing.

So just the very fact of asking about the problem, cause I need to know what is the real root cause. The smoking’s the symptom, the anxiety is the symptom. I need to know what’s going on. Cause I need to know what needs to be fixed.

So the very art of actually asking about the problem to get more information, to be really clear about what the information is or what the problem is, they would actually start to go into trance. And after a little while of doing this, there was no consciousness left. It came to a point where I’d ask them a question and they’d be so tranced out whether their eyes were open or closed, it doesn’t really matter. Well, they couldn’t actually ask me any, they couldn’t actually answer me anything. It’s like they had no words left. There was no conscious understanding about what was going on. And this is another cool way to get past resistance and stuff like that. So I was actually doing two, I guess we could do three things at once. We’re doing the investigation

Phase, I’m doing the induction into trance, which is just bypassing the conscious one and I’m actually starting the therapy. What a lot of people don’t realize is sometimes therapy can be enough when your client consciously to an extent, understands the problem at a deep level, sometimes insight to the real problem is enough for that problem to completely erode, okay, to be completely snapped, to complete, be completely like broken.
