I talk about in the course to be aware that because a person is ‘relaxed’ in your chair – doesn’t mean they are deep. It depends on how he or she responds to the world.
I mention John Kappas in class ( this is when I am waving my arms around – you may recall!!) and he gave clients a little pre-test to see where they were on the scale
I don’t bother with it now – now that I am aware of the concept – and can spot the type from the way they are when they come in
But, if you are new, its a great authority builder with clients and it does help to know how this person will respond. Not just to Hypnosis but to your language and actions. Are they towards the physical side or emotional? Do they use their physicality to protect their emotions or are they physical and extroverts – and to what degree
Anyway I have attached a pdf that explains this here _PDF LINK
This is really interesting. Thanks for sharing it. I’m curious to know if one would always include the sexuality questionnaire? What’s the significance of that? Does it relate to the “physical” suggestibility you’re referring to?
Yes – you are establishing how the client reacts to ‘life’. Are they using ‘control’ of their physical body to protect their emotions – or are they allowing emotions to flow. Basically, then you can tell how they will react in your chair in Hypnosis. Just because they flop around doesn’t mean they are ‘deep’. Just because they sit rigidly – doesn’t mean they are NOT ‘deep’
I appreciate this. Yes of course the sexuality refers to being touched but as well how to approach suggestions not to violate the client ‘s sense of privacy / also key to what the client may want to worl on.
