Personalise Your Hypnotherapy Practice

When clients visit your Hypnotherapy practice, whether that’s a room in a clinic or a room in your own home, it is important they feel comfortable. Basics such as a comfortable chair with good back support and the position of your own chair are obvious and ensuring the room isn’t too cold, but are there other aspects that you haven’t considered?

It is said that the great hypnotherapist Milton Erickson had a room jam packed with all sorts of weird and wonderful items, everything from toys and clocks to pictures and gadgets. He would often use these items as part of his inductions.

We’re not suggesting you go out and spend a small fortune on these things, but a clock and some pictures can help with inductions and imagery. For example, if one of your regular guided journeys includes a beach or some other place in nature, why not have a large poster or two on the walls of the room. It can often help start the client on their own journey, particularly if they find visualisation difficult. Even if they have not consciously noted the picture, unconsciously they may find themselves commencing their journey on the beach on your wall.

Images and ornaments can serve another purpose too as they can help your clients to relax and feel comfortable. As Milton Erickson himself once said, the Hypnotherapy process commences the moment you meet your client, not when you start the induction.

We found a website that has the widest range and variety of posters that we’ve ever seen, including some interesting landscape posters, divided into categories. Delivery is quick and the site comes highly recommended.

Design your hypnosis room so both your client and you feel comfortable – after all, you should be spending a lot of time in there!
