It depends on the hypnotist and how well they use each one to tell you the truth. I prefer Elmanian because it is simple, quick, and gets the job done. However, I use a lot of neuro-linguistic programming for an even quicker release of negative emotions and limiting beliefs.
Generally speaking, a hypnotist will figure out their style after being in practice for a while deciding which style to use for which client because different techniques are better for different people. Sometimes aspects of Ericksonian hypnosis will be used such as the use of metaphor or open loops while bringing a client into a suggestive scripting type of process vs the type of processes that I use which are dependent on the client interacting with me answering questions to get to the root of the problem(s) they are having so they can be released.
Erickson’s list of physical changes in the client at the various levels of hypnosis are useful to get an idea of how deeply hypnotized the client is, however for most healing emotional healing work a deep hypnotic state is not required.
