Physical Aspect of the Hypnotherapist

The physical aspect of the hypnotherapist as therapist is his voice. It is the voice of the hypnotherapist that not only leads the client down the road of this inner journey but also builds the road itself in the since that patients are told where to go and how to get there. In addition, the hypnotherapist uses his voice to stay in contact with the patient no matter how deep into the unconscious the patient goes.

As used by Erickson, the voice of the hypnotherapist can even become part of what is discovered within. For example, Erickson tells one client:

Explain fully. As used by Erickson, a trance can be defined as a mental state in which there is an opening of a path between the conscious and unconscious mind. Through this opening, the information in both of these areas of the mind can flow back and forth. Given the foregoing, a key question becomes: How do you induce the maximally effective trance (that state in which the exchange of information between the two areas of the mind is optimal). Erickson held that taking time to laboriously put someone into a trance does not necessarily foster optimal information flow. Rather, the optimal flow or exchange between the conscious and unconscious mind--being brought forth by the use of the hypnotherapist's voice--is affected by that voice. Specifically, Erickson stated that it was the confidence in their therapist's voice that inducted the maximal trance in patients. He felt that if the therapist's voice conveyed confidence in his own ability to indu
