With ADHD diagnosis rates surging globally in the past five years, hypnotherapists are encountering more neurodivergent clients than ever. Yet a frustrating pattern emerges: ‘My ADHD clients can’t seem to go into trance.’
ADHD individuals can absolutely be hypnotised. The problem is that our traditional relaxation-based, eyes-closed, progressive muscle relaxation inductions are fundamentally incompatible with ADHD neurology. Asking an ADHD brain to ‘sit still, close your eyes, and clear your mind’ creates paradoxical resistance—the opposite of trance.
This presentation challenges one of hypnotherapy’s core assumptions: that there’s a ‘standard’ way to induce trance. You’ll discover why movement can aid hypnotic depth rather than disrupt it, why rapid inductions outperform lengthy relaxation scripts, and how to recognise authentic ADHD trance states that don’t look like traditional hypnosis.

This is a practical toolkit you can implement with clients who’ve been told they’re ‘unhypnotisable.’ Join to make hypnotherapy truly accessible to all neurotypes.
