What we can explore
- Understanding hypnosis
- Suitability and practitioner training
- An agreed treatment focus
Understanding the approach
A session may use guided concentration, imagery and relaxation to focus on a particular goal. Before beginning, the practitioner should explain the process, discuss your concerns and obtain your agreement.
Choosing it thoughtfully
The usefulness of hypnosis depends on the concern being addressed and the individual. It is not a guaranteed solution, a way to control someone or a reliable method for establishing the accuracy of memories.
Discussing a referral or appointment
Contact the practice to discuss your goals, practitioner availability and whether this approach is appropriate. Ask about relevant training and how progress would be assessed alongside other care.
