*The staircase induction is a very popular technique used by the hypnotherapists. It is simple and flexible and can have different variations.
*This induction can be applied as an initial hypnotic induction, or after a hypnotic induction to deepen the client’s state of trance.
*It serves as a deepener and the client is asked to imagine themselves stepping downstairs, one step after the other. They are made to relax themselves as they continue to step downwards.
*The main purpose of staircase induction is to make the client deeply relaxed, so that they can enter a state where the therapeutic suggestions could be delivered.
*It provides a sense of security and control to the client. They can descend downstairs at their own pace, which would make them more comfortable and relaxed.
*It allows the clients to explore their memories, thoughts, emotions, or feelings as they descend downwards slowly and steadily.
