Description: In this experiential group induction, Burns demonstrates how hypnosis can emerge through selectivity of attention, sensory awareness, and story. Blending conversational choice, nature-based imagery, and extended metaphor, he guides participants through practical inductions that emphasize empowerment rather than control. The session offers a clear, replicable look at pacing, permissive language, and the therapeutic use of metaphor in group settings.
