Thinking more about it, I also know a hypnotherapist who uses the word "deep".

I agree "sleep" is clichéd (not to mention inaccurate).

The recreational hypnosis community frequently uses the word "drop".

I think the psychology is sound, but you need to adapt the induction to the person. A breathing component is not going to work for someone who gets anxious about it. The hypnotist needs to select the items to keep in short term memory to suit the person and be extra reassuring if there is any anxiet...

Realisingmygoals,

FYI, Richard is not a hypnotherapist, or any other kind of hypnotist.

CathB, ahimsa
