Graham Old replied to Andrew Taylor's discussion Reaction to hypnosis"I don't know what your "style" is, but I presume you used a good amount of permissive language. A nice tip is to use plenty of pacing and leading, with the emphasis on the former. You can then even make your leads sound like pacing."
Andrew Taylor replied to Andrew Taylor's discussion Reaction to hypnosis"I suppose he did think of the stairs as an enclosed space, but so was his special place. It's interesting that someone coming to me for claustrophobia has a cupboard for his special place. thanks

Andrew Taylor replied to Andrew Taylor's discussion Reaction to hypnosis"Thanks Wendy,
Yes I'll use a different deepener next time. He did say his biggest fear was not being in control, and I' d make him do something against his will. I did explain to him that I could not make him do anything against his will,…"

Graham Old replied to Andrew Taylor's discussion Reaction to hypnosis"Ah, man! I thought I was the only one who'd noticed that.
It's a lovely irony between being claustrophobic and having a cupboard as his special place. That would suggest to me that claustrophobia isn't the issue here."
John Cleesattel replied to Andrew Taylor's discussion Reaction to hypnosis"Andrew,
Whenever I have a subject that appears to be having difficulty going deeper into trance, where there are signs of anguish, or wrestling about, I ask them to stop right there and just float safely above whatever the difficulty is, then I have…"
Adrian Tannock replied to Andrew Taylor's discussion Reaction to hypnosis"Hi Andrew,
Some of the other suggestions given here are good. Here's something else to consider.
Firstly, via the phobia he experiences panic attacks (or extreme anxiety). As a result he possibly have will come to fear:
- Losing control…"
"Perhaps the client is making a picture in his head of a staircase that is leading down into an enclosed basement-type area...especially if you are doing the staircase deepener with the normal 'going deeper' suggestion.
It might help to…"
Wendy Merron replied to Andrew Taylor's discussion Reaction to hypnosis"Hi Andrew,
I have a couple of thoughts and comments. In my experience, when clients "fight" an induction, it's an indication that they don't understand what hypnosis really is. It means that they have some sort of fear that still…"

I have a client who has just started with me. He suffers from claustrophobia. When he's in an aeroplane or a lift, or a car, or the tube. He gets the typical symptoms of a panic attack. Sweaty palms, hyperventilating etc. The first session was a consultation, and once we had finished that I gave him a taste of hypnosis. relaxed his follwed by a deepener.
