Course objectives

Conducting group Hypnosis sessions require the Hypnotherapist to refine his skills, from which he will greatly benefit in one-on-one sessions. Since there is no formal induction, great emphasis has to be given on semantics and suggestions. Group sessions require even greater attention to leaving the "colouring in" of suggestions to the individual, especially in groups with people of different backgrounds, cultures and religions.

The facilitator needs to be accurate in reading the signs of Hypnosis and sensitive to the emotional "whereabouts" of each participant and have the knowledge and confidence to intervene when necessary or desirable. He needs to develop trust in his acute, often intuitive assessment and his ability to act on them. Group sessions are a good way to expand the client base.

The sessions are usually far more affordable and the client may prefer the privacy of his experience, without sharing, discussing or analysis within the group. Whilst many realisations and shifts can happen during these sessions, the client's awareness as to when assistance is needed is greatly enhanced. Since the rapport already exists and the client understands some of the abilities of the hypnotherapist, many group participants book private sessions as a result.
