From the video

The pretalk, with a volunteer client: finding out what she wants to work on, and agreeing a plan.

What the pretalk has to do: find out the patient's needs, educate, plan, and explain memory.

The induction: about ten minutes, a relaxing story, and all five senses.

Amnesia: scrambling the line between the conscious and subconscious mind.

Hypnotherapy Training VideoAbout 23 minutes in

"The induction should be about 10 minutes long. And during the induction, your job is to relax the patient. Your job is to tell them a relaxing story. Now, interestingly enough, you don't have to use words such as relax or down or deeper or any of that.

"It doesn't have to be the beach, it can be a walk in the woods, it can be them scuba diving, it can be them driving along the road, whatever relaxes them, whatever they find relaxing. So use that 10 minutes wisely and create a powerful picture for them that causes them to go into hypnosis."
