 Coping skills: the person may be taught certain cognitive-behavioral coping
skills, such as guided imagery and the STOP! Technique that he can use when
confronting fears or anxieties.

 Exploration of past experiences: the person may even be encouraged to talk
about the first time he experienced the behavior or problem that he is trying to
overcome and how he felt at that moment.

Process of hypnotherapy (Four Steps)
1. The hypnotherapist explains their behavior to them.
What this really means is that the hypnotherapist exposes the subconscious motivators of
the client's behavior to recognize that things that are pleasurable and avoid painful (or
fearful) things especially if the perception of the activity is painful.
2. The hypnotherapist then creates or describes a strategy for change.
This means a real plan in which the client is an active participant. In observation of
Einstein's definition of insanity (doing the same thing over and over and expecting
different results) this plan is to do something differently.

3. The third step involves the hypnotherapist helping the client become suggestible,
or receptive to the new strategy.

The hypnotherapist guides the client into this state of mind by suggesting that the client
experience a series of body changes (such as the breathing growing deeper, a little
dryness forming in the mouth and throat, and a little fluttering of the closed eyelids).
Once the client experiences those body changes, the hypnotherapist will then help the
client relax the muscle groups of their body (still very conscious). When the client is
relaxed in their body yet still alert in their mind, they enter that state of mind of
increased suggestibility. At this point the hypnotherapist will verbally repeat the
important parts of the new strategy.
