CMH Client Evaluation & Induction 3

Question 1

The Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) induction is most effective for clients who are:

Accepted Answer

Highly kinesthetic or body-focused

Answer

PMR works by systematically tensing and releasing muscle groups, making it ideal for kinesthetic clients who respond to body sensations.

Question 2

In an eye-fixation induction, the client is asked to focus on a point above eye level primarily to:

Accepted Answer

Fatigue the eye muscles and facilitate eye closure

Answer

Upward gaze strains the levator palpebrae muscles, making eyelid fatigue and natural closure more likely.

Question 3

Which induction technique relies heavily on building anticipation through a compelling narrative rather than direct relaxation commands?

Accepted Answer

Storytelling or metaphor induction

Answer

Storytelling inductions bypass critical factor by engaging the imagination and unconscious mind through narrative.

Question 4

The 'fractionation' technique deepens trance by:

Accepted Answer

Repeatedly bringing the client in and out of trance, deepening each time

Answer

Each emergence-and-reinduction cycle trains the nervous system to drop more rapidly and deeply into hypnosis.

Question 5

A rapid induction is MOST appropriate when the client:

Accepted Answer

Has given informed consent and demonstrates high hypnotic responsiveness

Answer

Rapid inductions rely on the client's established responsiveness and trust; high suggestibility makes the quick technique effective.
