- 1. The well-known "handshake" induction does just fine; anyone with
- any kind of working experience with hypnosis can commence induction
- in less than a sentence's worth.
-
- 2. Your objective, "spend more time with the person in trance" misses
- major beneficial parts of the process of hypnosis; constructing the
- relationship is more important than the outcome (unless you're on
- stage).
-
- 3. There are no resistant subjects...only insufficiently flexible
- hypnotists. Every subject is absolutely unique.
