The Kure Method® glossary.

A methodology needs shared vocabulary. These are the terms my students use in every lab and every case study, written in plain language.

The Kure Method®: An integrative practitioner methodology joining clinical hypnosis, precision NLP, transformational coaching and applied positive psychology into one six-phase session structure.
Integrative framework: A single structure that holds several disciplines in one order of work, so the practitioner is not choosing between separate models mid-session.
Ground (Phase 1): Screening and contracting. Establishing suitability, scope of practice, consent, and a shared agreement about what the work is and is not.
Name (Phase 2): The client describes the problem in their own words and chooses three countable markers, so change can be observed rather than assumed.
Map (Phase 3): Mapping how the pattern runs: the trigger, the internal representation, and the exception where the pattern does not appear.
Meet (Phase 4): The inward stage: absorption, depth testing and hand signals, conducted within an agreed, contracted frame.
Turn (Phase 5): The change stage: the shift, mental rehearsal, an anchor, and a cue the client can use on their own.
Keep (Phase 6): Emergence, one small daily practice, and the scheduled review, so the work continues after the session ends.
Countable marker: An observable, quantifiable indicator chosen by the client in Phase 2 and reviewed later, used instead of a general feeling of progress.
Depth test: A structured check of how absorbed a client is before further work is attempted, so the practitioner is working from observation, not guesswork.
Anchor and cue: A deliberate association and a short self-administered trigger, taught so the client can re-access a state between sessions.
Exception: A situation in which the client's pattern does not occur. Exceptions are treated as evidence about the structure of the pattern.
Scope of practice: The boundary of what a practitioner is trained and permitted to do, including when to decline work and when to refer on.
Formative assessment: Low-stakes self-assessment during the programme — the four quizzes and lab practice — used for learning rather than for the final award.
Final assessment: The recorded session, written case study and oral assessment that must be completed successfully before the certificate is issued.
Reflective practice: Structured review of your own reasoning after a session: what you noticed, what you chose, and what you would do differently.
Evidence-informed: Drawing on documented literature and clinical practice while stating openly where evidence is limited or debated. Not a claim of scientific consensus.
