Orientation to the Trance Experience

This audio cassette provides an instructive demonstration of neo-Ericksonian hypnotherapy, highlighting the significance of timing, rhythm and pauses. Through demonstrations of Basic Induction and Naturalistic Induction, Havens and Walters provide clear examples of the tempo, tone and phrasing employed by experienced clinicians to elicit and maintain a trance. Combined with the text, the companion audio cassette enables clinicians to incorporate or more effectively utilize hypnotherapy techniques in their practices. By following along and entering into the pleasantly relaxed, focused inner awareness typical of a trance state, practitioners give themselves the opportunity to develop a direct experiential understanding of the nature of trance and of the skills required to elicit and utilize that trance effectively.
