Presentation

Pretalk for Anxiety Sessions: Hypnosis doesn’t start with trance, it starts with the pretalk.

The real hypnosis doesn’t begin with trance, it begins with the pretalk. In this dynamic session, internationally respected trainer Cormac Colleran reveals why even skilled practitioners sometimes get inconsistent results, and how the pretalk quietly determines success or failure before induction starts. This talk is for hypnotherapists who want faster engagement, deeper trust, and more reliable breakthroughs. Drawing on decades of clinical experience and trauma-informed, solution-focused training, Cormac shares the three essential elements of an effective pretalk, a simple framework that turns explanation into waking hypnosis. Especially powerful for anxiety clients, this approach helps clients recognise how they’re creating their symptoms and how to take back control. Expect practical language, real examples, and tools you can use immediately to create momentum and change before trance ever begins.
