Long:

Basically, with the Simpson Protocol, the more you think about everything, the worse the session will be. It’s about feeling and not thinking.
The process of the Simpson Protocol is almost identical to that of a “normal” hypnosis session. However, there are a few small but subtle differences.

Preliminary talk:

The preliminary talk is the same as usual, but there is one small addition. So, we start by clarifying the goal, then of course you can ask any open questions about hypnosis and then the actual work can almost begin. Before that, however, the introduction is made.

Induction:

The induction is done as usual, with the exception that code words are used in a follow-up session. These are normally programmed into the first session by the superconscious. Why normally? Well, with children, for example, the code words are not absolutely necessary. You can find out why this is the case in  child hypnosis.

Deepening:

After the induction, we continue with the deepening. This proceeds as usual. Here, however, there is again the exception with the code words. If you have already done the induction with the code words, the deepening is already included there, as the code words are anchored in certain depths of hypnosis.

Work:

After the deepening, we continue with the Simpson protocol. First, the consciousness is parked in a nice place where it can rest and observe the whole process without intervening. This is comparable to when you are having a cozy evening watching TV and simply enjoying the movie. You are also relaxed and watch the movie without being able to intervene in what is happening. So, the conscious mind is parked in front of the TV and is allowed to watch the whole thing with popcorn and potato chips, but cannot intervene in the action. After the conscious mind sits in front of the TV, the arm or hand is handed over to the superconscious. (Don’t worry, you are still in control, but you will be assisted). The finger signs are then installed. One finger stands for yes and one for no. (The superconscious determines which fingers these are in each case.) In the second session this is already done, so that the parking of the consciousness, the installation process of the finger signs etc. can be skipped. Once all this is done, the actual work on your goal begins. To do this, I ask you or your superconscious mind questions. These are then answered with yes or no with the help of ideomotor reactions.

Exduction:

The exduction can then take place as usual, or you can ask the superconscious mind that you (i.e. the client) come back at the right speed for you. Most clients find this more pleasant than a classic exit, in which the client is counted out, for example. This is also the reason why I like to let clients emerge from hypnosis, simply by instructing them to emerge at their own pace.
