Hypnotherapy - Techniques

• Age Regression - by returning to an earlier ego-state the patient can regain qualities they once had, but have lost. Remembering an earlier, healthier, ego-state can increase the patients strength and confidence.
• Revivification - remembering past experiences can contribute to therapy. For example; the hypnotist may ask "have you ever been in trance?" and then find it easier to revive the previous experience than attempt inducing a new state.
• Guided Imagery - a method by which the subject is given a new relaxing and beneficial experience.
• Confusion - a method developed by Milton Erickson in which the subject becomes receptive to ideas because confused.
• Repetition - the more an idea is repeated the more likely it is to be accepted and acted upon by the patient.
• Direct Suggestion - suggesting directly. "You feel safe and secure".
• Indirect Suggestion - using "interspersal" technique and other means to cause effect.
• Mental State - people are more receptive while relaxed, sleeping, or in a trance .
• Hypnoanalysis - the client recalls moments from his past, confronting them and releasing associated emotions, similar to psychoanalysis .
• Post Hypnotic Suggestion - a suggestion that will be carried out after the trance has ended. "When you re-awaken you will feel refreshed."
• Binds - tension on a bind causes trance. This is like "the centipede who when asked which comes first, the left foot or the right, lost his concentration, stumbled, then rolled into the ditch". Binds are very common in hypnosis and it is essential to know the capacity of the subject and to ensure they will concentrate on the leg that will carry them through their journey. The duty of the hypnotist is to concentrate the subject on their desired goal.
