As of December 1, 2014, in addition to continuing to provide
hypnotherapy to clients at their homes, I also have a new office in Santa
Clarita, California where I can work with my clients. (There is no difference
in the cost of the consultation.) 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. I also have access to a conference room in which I can conduct informational seminars about hypnosis and therapeutic guided imagery. (Stay tuned for more information about upcoming presentations for 2015.)
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.
According to Dr. Kappas, 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). 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.
