The initial interview

The initial interview (or intake) is the very first moment of the medical hypnosis therapy session. It's an informal yet crucial exchange to lay healthy foundations and build trust.

It unfolds around 4 key steps:

1

Clarifying your request

A need that's often vague or negative, such as I don't want to be anxious anymore, is turned into a clear, positive project, such as I want to feel calm when speaking in public.

2

Understanding how you function

Everyone experiences their difficulties differently. This exchange helps observe how your difficulty shows up day to day and identify the strengths you can rely on.

3

Demystifying hypnosis

This is the moment to ask all your questions and clear up any hesitations. The goal is to reassure you: you remain conscious, attentive and in control of yourself at every moment.

4

Building rapport

By carefully listening to your words and your pace, the practitioner adapts to you to build genuine collaboration.
