Step by Step guide to using Hypnodrama with Clients

10

Anchor the new replacement emotion that the client would like to experience with the concerned person.

1

Test the anchor

2

In a Hypnotic state, ask the client to imagine themselves in the place where they would like to vent out their feelings to the other person.

3

Ask the client to invite the other person to this place and then go ahead and express themselves to the person exactly the way they would like to.

4

Ask the client to thank the other person for being a part of this process and then request them to step out of the room.

5

Ask the client to use the anchor we installed earlier and experience the anchored emotion fully.

6

Once the client can feel a new emotion fully, future pace the 3 events that the client had shared where they will interact with this person in the future.

7

Wake up the client and create a braking state.

8

Ask the client to test the events that have been future-paced by closing their eyes and imagining themselves in different situations with the same person in the future and to let you know how are they feeling in their imagination.

9

Ask them to observe the changes they notice in their life in the coming days and then report to you in the next session, what changes they have noticed.
