The Induction System. Hypnotherapy Series for Practitioners, #2

The Induction System presents a modern mechanism-based framework for understanding how hypnotic readiness is actually created - through the deliberate activation of focused attention, absorption, expectancy, reduced self-monitoring, automaticity, and responsiveness. Rather than teaching induction as a fixed sequence of words, Philip Mouton explores induction as a dynamic system that must be read, calibrated, and adapted in real time to the individual client.
Inside, you'll explore: What induction actually is - beyond traditional trance myths The mechanisms underlying hypnotic readiness How expectancy, absorption, and automaticity interact Why some clients respond differently than others How to read responsiveness in real time Expectation-setting experiences and pre-talk architecture The induction landscape: fixation, imagery, body-based, conversational, and motor-inhibition approaches Deepening, calibration, and mechanism stacking A fully annotated induction protocol demonstrating the framework in practice Written for hypnotherapists, coaches, and serious students of hypnosis, this book moves beyond script-based training into the deeper architecture beneath effective induction work.
