ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the different types of losses which could be presented to a hypnotherapist and for which they might need to find an appropriate script. Various definitions of loss are presented then the groupings (of losses) used in the book are discussed in detail: people; animals/pets; relationships; objects/possessions; health/wellbeing; purpose; times/stages of life; the future. Appendix 3.1 is a summary of the different types of losses, which can be developed into a handout for assessment purposes.
