setting the mood - incorporating client concerns
Clients can worry about whether they are doing the right thing, is this hypnosis, is it working etc., and these concerns can distract their attention and distance them from the experience they are seeking.
By accepting the possibility of these concerns, and incorporating them as an acceptable part OF the experience, the client can allow their focus to be on their experience.

Giving the client a sense of safety is good the bonus of peace and tranquility is also good. A solution for one can extend to a group I've belatedly realised. Time to start.

Your recording allaying the concerns of clients about hypnosis demonstrates a respectful method of reassuring and empowering the client.
I felt that emphasising the client’s expertise in their life, inviting curiosity about their own experience of the process and informing them that what they are experiencing is right for them and that they will only experience a process that is beneficial to them reassures without being condescending.
