Relapse Prevention Plan
Hypnosis Consultation Agreement
Hypnosis is a guided experience that helps you access your subconscious mind and make changes that you think will be beneficial to you. You will never do or say anything in hypnosis that you do not choose to do or say. You may end the experience at any time you wish. There are no harmful side effects of hypnosis and no danger to you. No one can make you do anything that you don’t choose to do.
Please note, however, that your health and well-being depend on your choices and how you choose to care for yourself physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. This includes your choices to seek informed medical advice from qualified physicians.
The Five Agreements
The following agreements shall always guide our experience and conduct together.
1. We will not hit each other.
2. We will not have sex with each other.
3. We will not break things around each other.
4. We will not use alcohol or other drugs while we are working with each other.
5. We agree not to run away from each other.
Basic Premises
This experience is guided by the following premises. As human beings, all we do is behave. Almost all of our behavior is chosen behavior. The chosen behavior is composed of four parts- thinking, doing, emotions and physiology (physical feelings). We always have direct control over our thinking and doing. We have indirect control over our emotions and physiology. Everything we do in this life is an attempt to meet the five basic genetic needs of survival, love, control, fun and independence.
Our needs are met best through our relationships with the important people in our lives. The following habits either move us closer to those we care about (caring habits) or move us away from those we care about (deadly habits):
7 Caring Habits: Supporting, Encouraging, Listening, Accepting, Trusting, Respecting, Negotiating Differences
7 Deadly Habits: Criticizing, Blaming, Complaining, Nagging, Threatening, Punishing, Bribing, Rewarding to Control
By undertaking this hypnosis experience, I agree to fully engage in the process, work toward my stated goals and attempt to use only caring habits in my relationships with others. If I have any reservations about this process and cannot sign in good conscience, I agree to discuss them before proceeding further.
The information gained through this experience may be used for research purposes but your name will be withheld and you will be assigned a pseudonym.
By signing this agreement, I hereby release Ron Mottern and Mottern Institute for Mind-Body Wellness from any and all liability.
