Wipe out the letters Induction

The Wipe out the letters Induction is an example of how to use visualisation as the basis of induction. This one uses the common device of writing letters on a blackboard and then wiping them off again.

It works in two ways. Part of it is self hypnosis, suggesting that as each letter is wiped off the listener feels more relaxed. Part of it is direct suggestion, suggesting that the more letters are written the harder it gets to remember the next letter.
The advantage of this type of induction is that it allows the listener to relax at their own pace, and has many more stages than the 'one to ten' countdown induction. Once you understand the principle you will be able to do inductions based on any kind of visual changes, leaves dropping off trees, lights going out, .... it is the basis of the old advice of counting sheep jumping over a fence to get to sleep.

 

 

	Wiping away consciousness
	Take a deep breath... and let it go... Ahhh... That's right....		encouragement
	Now take another deep breath... that's good.....		pace the client
	Now just allow your eyes to close... that's very good....
	[add instructions here for loosening the shoulders...etc if you think it is needed]		Physical relaxation
memory	I wonder if you have ever written letters on a blackboard at school... or maybe on a whiteboard... or maybe you remember writing letters on the sand and letting the sea wash them away.... or seen clouds in the sky that look like one thing and then change into something else....	V	Always offer a choice of possible ways to form the letters.
Capability	There are many ways that you can form letters....	D
	And now I would like you to think of something you can write letters on... a blackboard or a big blue sky... whatever you want.....		let the client choose
	And I want you to imagine writing the letter 'A' there.... and then just imagine wiping away the letter 'A'...	V
	and then imagine the letter 'B'... and then just imagine letter 'B' being wiped away... disappearing... in any way that makes sense to you....	V	allow the client to choose
	and keep on thinking of the next letter.... and as you wipe away the next letter.... you can feel yourself... loosening... relaxing.... getting more and more comfortable... letting go....	>	disappearing = relaxing
	and as each letter disappears you can become more and more relaxed.... more at ease....	>
	And you can continue putting the letters there... and fading out... and getting more comfortable...	>	who is 'fading'?
	and as you relax more and more.... it becomes too much trouble to think of the next letter...	D	amnesia
	and when you get to that stage you can just relax completely....	I	'when' bind
	allow your mind to drift away... to a place where there is nothing to think about... nothing to worry you... relaxed and peaceful and calm....	V	Dissociation
	and take a few moments now and allow that lovely feeling of relaxation to spread.... as you go deeper and deeper.....	I	bind 'as you...' inevitability
	[either do a deepener, or your convincer and then carry on with the therapy]
