There are a few things to do in preparation to get the most out of your hypnotherapy session.

1. Make sure you have a space ready for your session where you won't be interrupted for at least an hour.
2. Make sure that space is providing you with reliable internet signal. Hard wiring your computer with an ethernet cable is more reliable than WiFi. You can check your internet speed by hitting the Google 'G' to the left and selecting 'Run speed test'. It's recommended you have 10-25 mbps download & 3 mbps upload speeds for Zoom video calls.
3. If you don't have a Zoom account, set one up in advance and try a test run with a friend. You can hit the Zoom logo to the left to find the download you need. You can use Zoom on a smart phone, laptop or pad. For best positioning of the camera, a laptop works best as it holds position perfectly.
4. Using headphones can really help with the sense of privacy and improve sound quality. If you are using wireless headphones, ensure they are fully charged. Wired headphones can be more reliable.
5. You need to be seen throughout the session. This doesn't need to be up close or in really good quality, but enough that there can be normal interaction and reactions can be taken note of. See image provided to give an idea of good positioning. If using a phone or pad, make sure it is securely propped in position. If the device slips, it will cause interaction issues and affect the session.
6. A comfortable chair is ideal ensuring it is stable. It's best that your feet are comfortably on the floor and your hands in your lap. As you will be mostly staying still, you might want to consider warmer clothes or a blanket.
7. You may record the session if you please. This can be used for self hypnosis thereafter.
