These are the three necessary requirements for a successful session. I coined this acronym while studying for my certified hypnotherapy exam.
Willing:
The client who desires the hypnotic session will be open to this modality. In order for hypnotherapy to work, both client and therapist need to trust the process.
Imagination:
In order for the client to reach his/her goals they must be open to verbal suggestion provided by the therapist that will allow him/her to use their imagination to apply visualization and sensory techniques for a successful session. Having an open mind is key.
Trust:
There must be a good level of respect, safety and professionalism between the client and the hypnotherapist. This is accomplished through a 1-2 hour pre-talk where information is gathered from you to reach your personal goals.
