Description

This self-hypnosis procedure was developed for clients under stress who have greater difficulty concentrating and have a need to feel in control. It has the advantage of being mechanical in nature and needs no formal induction to initiate or learn. Therefore, it is excellent for working with teenagers and people for whom control is an issue. The procedure comes with a rationale that is appealing to the more critical client. These procedures have been successfully used to:

• Stop panic attacks
• Empower post-hypnotic suggestions
• Give the benefit of 20-minute nap in 2 minutes
• Facilitate meditation and affirmations
• Increase feelings of self-control
• Decrease stress responses
