Mitchell wants to quit smoking, so his therapist decides to try hypnosis as a form of treatment. what is the first step that the
therapist will most likely take when attempting to hypnotize mitchell? she will tell mitchell what to expect in the hypnotic state. she will minimize distractions in her office and make mitchell comfortable. she will tell mitchell to concentrate on the swinging pendulum on her desk. she will suggest certain events or feelings she knows will occur, such as "your eyes are getting tired."
The answer is, she will minimize distraction in her office and make Mitchell comfortable. Distractions in hypnotherapy are conventional. One example of this is the noise outside the office but it can turn those distractions into calming sounds either. Noises are further of an interruption to the hypnotist than they are to the person in hypnosis. Obviously, outside noise is not best and a quite environment is much easier to work with, but noise doesn’t have to mean that a person cannot enter a state of hypnosis or have a successful hypnotherapy session. Distractions are unbearable to escape sometimes the person in hypnosis should try to recognize the noise and then focus to the voice in hypnotist.
