IND Progressive Physical Relaxation Technique

Self-Hypnosis training for stress release, especially helpful for those who must be in control); uses the technique of progressively tightening and releasing muscles, in conjuction with breathing, putting the client in control, as well as providing a technique that can be used later by the client for stress relief

This induction can be used an extension of another induction when the therapist finds the client is having difficulty being hypnotized. This script uses the word "relax" as little as possible, since the word itself can make a particularly tense person feel self-conscious about their inability tyo relax, or they may sense they must "work" at relaxing.
