When the script runs out
The most important moment is often the one you did not plan.
A client pauses. Their emotion changes. They say they do not know, or the conversation moves somewhere unexpected. Knowing your modality is not always the same as knowing what to say next.
Advanced Conversation Therapy (ACT) is Magdalena Lyle's practitioner method of Advanced Conversational Hypnosis (ACH), adapted through her own clinical work and teaching. It teaches you to listen differently, respond to what is happening in the moment and guide a useful conversation without forcing the client through a fixed script.
What you will develop
Practical confidence, built through practice.
Move beyond fixed scripts
Use a flexible conversational framework that follows the person in front of you.
Know what to explore next
Listen for the language, patterns and responses that guide the next useful question.
Practise with direct feedback
Apply the method in a small group and refine it with Magdalena's guidance.
Three live days
Learn it. See it. Practise it.
