I will explain the rules required at general formation of the suggestions, first of all data which we gathered at history taking enable us to adapt an approach which is best of client’s progress and is achievable . So generally SMART princple of goal formation is being followed. I believe that dependent individuals and those having histrionic tendencies are generally more suggestible as compared paranoid, borderline , antisocial and those having OC personality types. Adherence to suggestions is dependent upon perceived competence and autonomous morality of individuals when implementing conscious oriented models such as CBT but at hypnotherapy suggestions are directly influencing something which is connected with preconscious or further on with unconscious. Restructuring of preconscious patterns is carried out via direct and Indirect suggestions.
1) Use affirmative statements
2)Use present tense
3)Positive statements should be reinforced.
4)Suggestions should be meaningful
5)There should be avoidance of ambiguity
6) They should create no conscious objection

Direct suggestions :
Early on hynotherapists used to rely more on direct suggestions. Direct suggestions use the mechanism of straightforward communication thus specific message is conveyed which is crafted precisely. They are important interms Clarity and quick results.
According to freudian literature direction suggestion are important interms of transference as they let unconscious motives to reflect their energy on anything in preconscious.
Types :
1) Cognitive Direct suggestions
2) Instructional Direct suggestions
3)Imaginative Direct suggestions
4) Sensory based Direct suggestions

Indirect Suggestions:
Indirect suggestions are fundamental at fighting against what freud refered as resistance, which enable to inhibit the unconscious content to enter preconscious and consious fully. So indirect suggestions rely upon metaphors and stories and are significant to deceive critical thinking agencies of the brain. They are crafted creatively thus there more subconscious engagement.
There is more freedom of choice and the client has more ability towards filling the gap. Indirect suggestions can deceive the censorship of the unconscious.
It is important to fullfil assesment goals, to define clients biopsychosocial makeup and then proceed.
There is a direct association with language use aswell so positive ,simple, clear and culture relevant language should be used.
