Utilization is a method for aligning with the hypnotic subject.
Use what the patient says to you and incorporate it into what you say, especially if it is reassuring or bypassing a negative observation about the trance experience or the therapeutic work.
Patient: "I am not hypnotized."
You: "That's right you are not hypnotized, yet, because you haven't focused on the one important thing that will put you into a deep hypnotic state."
