We will look at these in more detail to understand what changes might occur in the subject at each stage. The objective is, broadly speaking, to facilitate a trance-like state in the subject which enables easier access to the subconscious. After the therapy, there would typically be a period of reflection wherein the subject is encouraged to discuss how the therapy felt and what next steps they might take.

Hypnosis is a natural state of mind that can be used for many purposes, in different settings. Nowadays research in the field of hypnosis and associated areas has blossomed and there are valuable evidence that hypnosis has real and measurable affects on both body and mind.

The therapist can also offer an initial interpretation or explanation of the client’s presenting issues, and this alone can be integral to the healing process as the client can begin to comprehend and be able to explain their situation.

In this essay I am going to look at the importance and purpose of the initial consultation between the client and the therapist and what happens during this preliminary session.
