The Heart Hug: A Somatic Induction

An experiential session, demonstrating a simple yet effective somatic induction. Bringing together learnings from Hypnotherapy, Mindfulness and Somatic experiencing, this simple induction gently leads clients to enter into a hypnotic experience, creating a calm, safe space to regulate their nervous system and for therapeutic work to begin.

During this session, you’ll be guided through the whole experience, with key learning and important steps highlighted along the way. There will be time to unpack the technique and for Q&A. The aim is that, by the end of the session, you’ll have all the tools and understanding to be able to utilise this technique for yourself.

It’s perfect for those who are anxious, stressed, overthinking or hesitant. It utilises the body’s natural responses and is safe and effective for use both in-person and online. This has become my go-to first session approach as it provides the client with an experience, and also with an effective self-help tool they can then embed and practice in between sessions.
