Knock knock knock—

“Co in.”

The door of the consultation room opened.

Li Lingling’s face appeared first. Beyond her figure, Mo Kai could also be seen standing behind her.

Comfortably seated on the sofa, Li Lingling said with a smile, “Today it’s just the two of you, I see. Everyone else is on holiday…”

Curious yet polite, she asked, “Is your assistant working overti today as well?”

Feeling the visitor’s earnest gaze, Nan Zhubin smiled and said, “He’s a local, a university student intern, very enthusiastic about consultation. So as long as there’s a learning opportunity, he’ll definitely co.”

The visitor nodded, sowhat understanding.

She then rubbed her thighs with both hands, “We’re going to do [hypnosis] today, right? Shall we start now?”

The visitor seed to express a look of anticipation.

Nan Zhubin explained, “Yes, because it might take a very long ti today, we need to make preparations first.”

As he spoke, Nan Zhubin poured a glass of water for the visitor, “You can drink so water first, and if you need to use the restroom, it’s best to take care of that now.”

Todays’ consultation is particularly long, so if the visitor feels the need to use the restroom midway, it would not only interrupt the consultation, but such thoughts might surface as other subconscious impulses during the hypnosis process, becoming a distraction.

The visitor blinked and smiled, “Such thorough preparation… it wasn’t this formal last ti, was it?”

She was referring to the last ti when she was guided to recall her forgotten dream through “hypnosis.”

Nan Zhubin explained, “Last ti was quite impromptu, since the main topic was supposed to be [Dream Interpretation], but because you couldn’t recall the details of the dream, we had to resort to a thod similar to [hypnosis] to help you rember.”

Today, however, is a complete and formal session of [hypnosis].

Nan Zhubin doesn’t even plan to use his skill [Hypnosis Treatnt·Basic], but intends to guide the visitor through a proper and complete hypnosis session from start to finish.

Seeing Nan Zhubin being so formal, the visitor naturally had no objections.

After following Nan Zhubin’s guidance to complete all “hypnosis preparation” outside the consultation, the visitor nodded, “I am ready.”

…

The first step of [hypnosis] is to establish a safe frawork while ensuring that the visitor has full inford consent.

So professional “hypnotherapists” are often directly requested by clients for a hypnosis experience during the first appointnt.

For them, this step is very important.

However, the [hypnosis treatnt] that Nan Zhubin is conducting now is a part of psychological consultation, so both the structure of the safe frawork and inford consent have been well prepared.

Thus, they directly moved to the second step—guiding the body into relaxation, redirecting the visitor’s focus towards internal sensations.

“Okay, first we choose a comfortable position to lie down.”

As he spoke, the visitor pointed to the therapy sofa next to them.

Bai Qinghua’s consultation rooms are varied, and today, Nan Zhubin specifically chose a consultation room typically used by other consultants for relaxation therapy, thus the facilities are different from ordinary consultation rooms.

Though the visitor was lying on a “sofa,” its size was similar to a “bed,” enough for a big guy like Chonghui to lie comfortably, with so space to spare.

After the visitor lay down, Nan Zhubin took a large cushion and handed over a blanket to cover the visitor, adjusting her position together.

“Are you cold? Are you hot?” he inquired simultaneously.

To optimize the visitor’s comfort and minimize external stimuli, this is an essential prerequisite for directing their attention to internal sensations.

The visitor covered herself with the blanket, pulling it up to cover her collarbone and leaving her shoulders exposed, while holding the soft fabric lightly outside the blanket.

After ensuring the visitor was properly adjusted, Nan Zhubin extended a hand in front of the visitor’s eyes.

“Now, please watch my hand and let your eyes follow its movent.”

“anwhile, adjust your breathing to my verbal guidance. Here, inhale—”

The visitor bit her lip slightly but couldn’t restrain her curiosity and wonder.

Nan Zhubin moved his hand from the direct front of the visitor’s sight to below: “Now, exhale—”

“Inhale—exhale—in—good.”

After three deep breaths, Nan Zhubin slowly moved his hand above the visitor’s line of sight, even slightly beyond her view range.

This caused the visitor to raise her chin slightly, creating forehead lines as she tried to follow his hand with her gaze.

“Good, keep your eyes on my hand, maintain upward eye position. Exhale—inhale—”

…

The movent of the hand triggers the visitor’s visual tracking, and the verbal guidance controls the visitor’s breathing rhythm.

Nan Zhubin’s actions are based on physiological principles—utilizing multiple sensory channels and synchronizing the engagent of the visitor’s ntal attention resources, narrowing and heightening the focus of the visitor’s attention.

Specialized hypnotists often have more unique thods at this step, like the “constantly swaying pocket watch” seen in many films, based on this physiological principle.

However, this step is just the initial setup, often simplified in films to directly induce hypnosis, which is a dramatized form of exaggeration.

Real hypnosis is more complex.
