ABOUT
Michael Pattinson is a clinical hypnotist with 16+ years of experience. His Structured Agency Hypnosis approach uses hypnosis as a practical tool for behavioural change, with a focus on control, response training and real-world application. Sessions are conducted privately online across Melbourne and Australia.
But all of that helped me develop the principles I rely on today.
Principles of Structured Agency Hypnosis
Agency
The capacity to direct your own behaviour.
Change begins with the ability to act deliberately rather than being continually driven by an unwanted response, habit or pattern.
Behaviour First
Define what actually needs to change.
The focus is on observable behaviour, responses and patterns rather than vague labels or endless analysis of personal history.
Control
Train the ability to interrupt and direct responses.
Hypnosis is used to develop greater control over attention, inhibition, regulation and behavioural responses.
Training Over Reassurance
Change requires practice, not repeated reassurance.
The objective is to develop functional responses that can be used when the real situation occurs, rather than creating dependence on reassurance or discussion.
Rehearsal & Application
Practise the response you intend to use.
The desired response is rehearsed and applied so that the work extends beyond the session and into everyday situations.
Execution
The result is measured by what you do.
The purpose of the work is practical behavioural change: better control, better decisions and more consistent execution in the situations that matter.
