Imaging an Expert and Bolstering of Inner Resources
Session Information | Requirements | Suggested Reading

Sometimes it is helpful while in hypnosis for a leader, manager or team to engage in Imaging an Expert, someone quite adept in whatever the leader wants to accomplish. This expert is imaged “doing his or her thing” in substantial detail, sometimes in slow motion so that every aspect of the doing” is noticed and remembered. Then the participant images himself or herself merging with the expert, taking on the expert’s skill and/or presence and then doing the task effortlessly, first in slow motion and then with increasing speed and flair. This process may be especially helpful, for instance, after a leader has attended a leadership training and wants practice in emulating what she or he saw demonstrated by the presenters.

At other times, the participant wants to use his or her own Inner Expert. This can be achieved by having the hypnotized leader, manager or team member image an Accomplished Self, derived from the person’s super-conscious mind, who comes to give detailed guidance and support.

Another way to develop the participant’s inner strength and expertise is hypnotic Bolstering of Inner Resources. After an assessment is done of the participant’s strengths in areas of his or her life that may or may not be directly associated with the task at hand, the Business Hypnotist gives the hypnotized participant a host of positive suggestions and affirmations about how she is able to harness those strengths in the new work task. Still other affirmations may be developed from further information about the individual and suggested to him or her during hypnosis by the Business Hypnotist. In so doing, the Business Hypnotist becomes a positive-psychology coach!
