05 - Recap

The most important points from the previous articles:

• Come into your session with a collaborative attitude, manage your environment as best you can, communicate needs, and ideally be well rested.
• Communicate possible emotional and psychological barriers to immersing yourself in to the experience, even if it’s just a bad day.
• Hypnosis isn’t mind control - you take the majority of responsibility for generating your own phenomena.
• Thank your hypnotist! When things have mellowed out, let your hypnotist know what worked, what you’d like more of, and what you could use assistance with improving.
• Hypnosis is not a single skill for the subject - it’s a variety of abilities that get better over time.
• With practice, your responses will improve.
• It is perfectly normal to have an ‘off’ day.
