Clinical hypnosis

• amplifies the clients abilities.

• focuses attention on whatever task is in hand in order to achieve it more easily.

• helps create a specific goal so the mind can work towards it

• reduces stress and anxiety

• stimulates the autonomic functions (activating the autonomic nervous system in advance)

• make positive suggestions

• set up post hypnotic suggestions

• strengthen the ego

• it cannot make someone do or be something they are not already capable of, although it can help focus on developing skills and resources already present.

• Suggestions will only be taken on board if the client feels safe and comfortable.

The procedure takes into account

• Client’s personality (type)

• Their personal history
