Here at the college, I often talk about and teach that you make a hypnosis induction process soooo much easier and more effective when you yourself (as hypnotist) adopt a very particular mindset and adopt some very simple (some might think rudimentary) underlying principles. I have found that when we do so, the induction process is smoother, easier and much more effective. The hypnotist or hypnotherapist is perceived with credibility and is trusted as a result.
These particular principles sit in well with the way I personally tend to favour explaining hypnosis too.
In general, and put simply, when these principles are present and engaged with as an inherent part of the hypnotic induction, it will be enriched and better as a result.
In this video, I explain these principles. I have abbreviated them and run through it much quicker and much briefer than I would in class and not really referred to the evidence to support these theories, but I hope you find it stimulating and useful. I hope you like the model too – I am rather attached to it, as you’ll see….

Likewise, if you’d like to learn more about self-hypnosis, understand the evidence based principles of it from a scientific perspective and learn how to apply it to many areas of your life while having fun and in a safe environment and have the opportunity to test everything you learn, then come and join me for my one day seminar which does all that and more, have a read here: The Science of Self-Hypnosis Seminar. Alternatively, go grab a copy of my Science of self-hypnosis book.
Hi Adam- Listening to this again after hearing Ben Parris lecture at the RSM- reminded me that I want to follow up on his research regarding pro active and reactive control theory. And his question- do highly susceptible hypnotic subjects have better executive control- and his findings that expectancy increases pro active control and is not hypnosis. Hypnosis increases reactive control.
Ah yes. Ben is very much the theoretician currently and I really like his proposed theory, though he is still working on it and researching accordingly to fill in some blanks. Dr Devin Terhune will be teaching on your MSc programme too and he has plenty to contribute in that regard.
Lovely hearing from you, Adam.
