Using your

Learning Style

Everyone is wired differently – but you probably didn’t need this article to tell

you that. One of the ways where we differ in our wiring is in our learning

styles.

If you’ve had a brush with teacher training then you’ve probably heard of

the different learning styles, but the majority of us haven’t.

There are three main learning styles: visual, audio and kinaesthetic.

Most of us will have one main learning style or be a blend of the two of them. It’s important to know your style, as

this will help you know how you learn new things.

You may wonder what on earth this has to do with hypnosis, but if you know

your learning style and let your therapist know this, your therapist can

tailor their suggestions to suit your style.

The first of the three styles is visual.

Visuals learn by reading things and also by picturing things. Visuals learn well

from charts and pictures, and from watching others do things.

In the context of hypnotherapy, a visual learner will respond best to

images placed in the mind – mental movies of the behaviour that you aim to

have.

The second style is audio.

Audio learners learn by hearing things, and if they want to memorise things,

using music and rhyme is often a good approach.

Audio learners respond very well to the classic suggestions of hypnosis where phrases and words that describe the

desired outcome are implanted deep in the psyche.

Thirdly, you have the kinaesthetic learners.

Kinaesthetics learn by doing – they’re very hands-on people. They like to

touch and feel things, and to experiment with things.

In the context of hypnotherapy, the suggestions implanted by the therapist may be a blend of mental imagery and words but should focus on the actions

linked to the desired outcome.

What kind of learner are you?
