Checking in
I feel Checking in with the subconscious is one of the most import things you can do to get and maintain the change desired, especially when working with the swan as you’re having open dialogue with this other part of the person.
No matter who you’re talking to, if you want someone to do something, your best results will happen if you make sure they got it and that there’s no miscommunication. So this is even more important with hypnosis, as this may possibly be the only time someone talks to this part of the subconscious.
There will often be times in any conversation where you believe you have covered all the options, looked into all the possibilities, or planned everything out perfectly. However this might not be the case! No one is perfect, no matter how experienced you are with asking questions, this can still occur. Allow yourself to be a bit humble and open to the possibility that you have missed something or made an error.
These are the main ways I check in:
- Ask check up questions . Eg. can you, will you, do you understand, do you know how/who, and other general confirmations.
- Summarising what we have talked about. Here I spell everything out in a clear action plan and ask if it gets it all, and will do action that plan. I will often use this in the middle of a session to get to a result. Listing off what’s happened and everything the client has tried consciously to solve the issue. Then ask it if those things have helped (looking for a no) so I can get it to try something new and test out what I believe will help. This often can be very powerful.
- Find opposing questions to ask. Ask the same question again in reverse. Often this will open you up to a new angle. The first time I self swanned I got a yes where I expected a no. When I asked the question in an opposing way I got the answer I expected. This then gave me a new idea of noticing the original wording I used. So I could then ask the original question again slightly different and get the response I expected. Opposing questions are fantastic for pedantic minds and over agreeable minds.
