  • Alert hypnotic inductions are compared to traditional methods in terms of efficacy and subject experience.

Findings:

  • Both traditional and alert hypnotic inductions result in comparable hypnotic susceptibility scores.
  • Subjects undergoing alert inductions frequently report increased feelings of alertness and control.
  • A case study demonstrates sustained alert hypnosis for extended periods, effectively reducing anxiety from past failures.
