My New Office



(This blog was originally posted on December 4, 2014)




Since December 1, 2014, in addition to continuing to provide hypnotherapy to clients at their homes and via Skype consultations, I have been able to work with clients at my new office in Santa Clarita, California. I am very excited about this new space: in addition to being in a convenient location with nearby freeway access for my clients to get to me, the office is ideally set up to best facilitate hypnotherapy, as originally recommended by Hypnosis Motivation Institute founder Dr. John Kappas, Ph.D.
According to Dr. Kappas, while the hypnotherapist conducts the pre-induction and induction to hypnosis, the therapist should sit behind a desk with the client seated in a chair to the therapist’s right or left, facing forward. This seating arrangement enables the client to avoid having direct eye contact with the therapist if he or she chooses. In addition, the presence of the desk serves as a “barrier” between the therapist and the client and prevents the therapist from invading the client’s personal space. (I can and will also pull back or away from the client if the person seems uncomfortable.)
“If the client feels antagonized because you’re too close, the antagonism will carry over to the suggestions and he’ll abreact (respond negatively to or reject) the therapy,” he said.
The hypnotherapist should always be in charge of the therapy, including where the client is seated in the room and how long the session lasts (approximately one hour), Dr. Kappas explained. Finally, he advised, the hypnotherapist should be able to immediately determine whether the client’s presenting issue pertains to avocational or vocational self-improvement (Business and Professions Code 2908) and refer the client to a medical professional for further evaluation.
