1. The suggestion should be clear and specific use subtle hints or state the desired outcomes clearly if you are using direct suggestions.
2. Always use positive language and focus on what to achieve, not on what to avoid. Within broader statements embed positive outcomes.
3. A good indirect suggestion inculcates sensory based stories or narratives, we can engage client’s sense to make suggestion more vivid.
4. The suggestions should resonate with client’s therapeutic goals and values.
5. Repeat suggestions to reinforce desired behaviors’ through stories or metaphors.
Here are five basic rules for making direct and indirect suggestions in hypnotherapy, along with a concise example:
Example
• Direct Suggestion:
“You will feel confident and relaxed when speaking in public.”
• Indirect Suggestion:
“You may find yourself feeling more at ease as you prepare and speak, just like someone who enjoys sharing their stories with others.”
