So often a client is a little frustrated that I have terminated hypnosis or a deep muscle relaxation - especially if they are fatigued by insomnia or chronic stress. By clearly letting them know that there will be 20 minutes of absolute rest following suggestion therapy or imaginal exposure/re-conditioning therapy then I think clients will be very happy to go with that. However it probably means running 90 minute sessions. Remember many clients are often having one or more massages a month to get that total relaxation feeling. I think the benefits in terms of complete cortical rest and rejuvenation - as well as allowing suggestions to remain with no other competing activity or information - could be highly beneficial.
