How do you know when the induction has taken enough effect to start onto a depener and then how do you know that the person has gone deep enough to start the suggestions. I have been working with my wife on hypnobirthing hopeing that when time comes for the birth of our next child she will be able to go through labor with very little pain and be able to have a great experience. What I have done so far does not seem to be helping because she still gets morning sickness and pains from being pregnant. I dont think that the inductions are taking very well and she does not seem to be getting deep enough to get a good result. I was hopeing someone would be able to help me know what to look for or what to do to ensure she is ready for the suggestions and even perhaps a better script that has had better success than what I have been using to help with her labor. Thanks, Andy

Hi Andy, I never work with family or close friends, when people know you closely they may judge your technique or find it amusing you are speaking differently etc.. I have a number of friends that are also hypnotherapists and they do not work with their inner circle. I watch my clients breathing slowing down, their skin appears softer, their eyelids stop flickering when they are deeply relaxed, they stop moving, the more you practice hypnotherapy the better you can just tell instinctively. Hope this helps.

Hi Andy I tend to agree with Susan that its unwise to work with people who know you too well, however as you clearly want to help your wife with her forthcoming labor you could try using the Ericksonian Sleep Hypnosis method but you would need to add specific suggestions relating to your wife’s situation.

Hi Andy, I find using a GSR Machine is really helpful and use it in every session.

Dear Sean, another member of the forum suggested that GSR produced by ThoughtStream is one of the best, could you give me your opinion on the one you are using?..I am willing to buy one and I dont really know which one to get.

The GSR is an invaluable aid for Hypnotherapists as it measures relaxation and anxiety levels through responses in the skin. As I understand it, when a client feels anxious they will secrete more moisture through their skin which is shown by the reading on the GSR. When they are relaxed the reading will drop. You need to start by establishing a base reading. With the clients permission we usually set the GSR in place before starting the actual hypnosis session to determine the normal reading. In my experience this has worked really well in about 98% of cases. The GSR is available from http://www.hypnoeft.com/MainMenu/Biofeedback.htm and the after-service (should you need it) is excellent.
