- Eye Fascination Induction
- This is used when a Hypnotherapist notices during the interview that a client's eyes tend to fade or blink repeatedly. The client is asked to stare at an object above eye level. The therapist speaks rapidly and paternally, telling the client their eyelids are getting heavier and beginning to close. When they close, the therapist touches the client on the forehead, says “deep sleep”, then pushes the client’s hands off his lap to create a loose, limp feeling in his body.
