Guide to Case Histories
The names and features identifying the clients in the following two sections - Corporate and Private Case Histories - have been changed to preserve their identity.
In the following Case Studies, reference is made quite often to a trance state. The terms, “trance” and “hypnosis” refers to a deeply relaxed state of internal focus in which the client remains in control at all time. Trance is often utilised in our work, where it is beneficial to do so, and with the client's agreement. This state allows the client the choice to take on new helpful behaviour, very much more easily than with an active conscious mind, full of distractions.
The art of designing the new helpful behaviours requires far greater expertise than the trance itself. Trance is just the means and is an everyday occurrence which you will have experienced yourself as daydreaming, staring into space or being totally absorbed in a book, TV or concert.
You will have driven or used complex equipment perfectly safely in a trance, suddenly realising when you have arrived, or the task is finished, that you have been “elsewhere”. Hypnosis merely harnesses this calm state of internal focus to enable the client to absorb helpful material effortlessly.
