A useful tool that can help a therapist to know where to start and to dg deeper in a direction is History taking. in hypnotherapy history taking is a bit different than some other fields. We start with some basic questions just to give the session a go the firstly we as about the Presenting complaints and then asking how much it is effecting the client and its surrounding. getting out maintaining factors is really important for a good therapy which ca lead towards good suggestions as well.
