4 Lines to say for The Transformation

A
  • “Understanding is power, and understanding in hypnosis is the most extraordinary and
    liberating power. It’s giving you freedom.”
  • “Understanding is power, and as you go deeper, you know that understanding in hypnosis
    has a phenomenal, transforming, liberating power…
  • “You behaved in an age-appropriate, acceptable way; you were a victim.”
  • “Events do not affect you; scenes do not affect you; the meaning and interpretation you
    attach to a scene affects you. But the good news is that you get to change the meaning of
    the scene. You can change the meaning of your past in no time at all.”

was a Scottish physician who studied the claims of Mesmer’s work from a scientific perspective. He concluded that it was not the use of ‘magnetism’ that took Mesmer’s patients into a sleep-like state; instead, it had to do with eye fixation. Braid called this sleep-like state hypnotism* (‘hypno’ being derived from Hypnos, the Greek god of sleep).
later abandoned the term ‘hypnosis’ once he realized that it was not based on sleep and attempted to replace ‘hypnosis’ with the term ‘monoideism’ - “A state of prolonged absorption in a single idea (as in mental depression, trance, hypnosis)
He believed that when a person went into hypnosis, they became absorbed in what was being suggested to them to the exclusion of everything else.

Milton Erickson

A

An American psychiatrist and psychologist, who made a lasting impression that continues to inspire hypnotherapists today. his case studies and “miracle cures” have contributed significantly to Western psychology. His disabilities - dyslexia, deafness, and color blindness in his younger years - did not hinder his thinking or efforts. Despite his polio condition, he studied medicine and, using his powers of concentration, regained control of parts of his body, enabling him to communicate and use his arms. He opposed any negative thought and always promoted the importance of the subconscious mind. He firmly believed that a suggestion (to himself or his patients) would always have a hypnotic influence.

Dr. Brian L. Weiss,

psychiatrist and author, initially did not believe in reincarnation and past life experiences through hypnotic regression. However, this changed when he met one of his patients who remembered a trauma from his past life. He soon overcame his skepticism and began a meaningful career using regression therapy. He advocates hypnotic regression as therapy, claiming that many phobias and ailments are rooted in past-life experiences whose acknowledgment by the patient can have a curative effect.

Q

The Use of Trance in Hypnosis

A

People go in and out of trance naturally every day. The depth of trance a person goes into will vary depending on what they are doing and their environment. Although people can be receptive to new suggestions and ideas when not in trance, the trance state makes the process easier.

Activities such as viewing advertising, reading a good book, watching a great movie, or having a deep conversation with a friend are all everyday examples of people going into trance. This is why many people find these activities meaningful or even therapeutic at some level. When the subconscious mind (also known as the unconscious mind) is engaged in an activity, it allows the conscious mind to relax. When the conscious mind relaxes, the body follows; this is exhibited when we sleep.

150
Q

The History of Hypnosis

A

Modern hypnosis as we know it today emerged in the 18th century with the work of Austrian physician Franz Mesmer. Mesmer developed a theory known as ‘animal magnetism’, and used techniques such as passes and mesmerized water to induce trance-like states in his patients. Later, Scottish physician, James Braid, developed the term ‘hypnosis’ and explored the power of suggestion in achieving therapeutic outcomes. Since then, numerous practitioners and researchers have evolved and refined hypnosis. It has now become recognized as a valuable tool in various fields, including psychology and medicine.

151
Q

The Difference Between Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy

A

As we have seen, hypnosis refers to a state of deep relaxation and heightened suggestibility, where an individual’s conscious awareness becomes more focused, and their subconscious mind becomes more receptive to suggestion. Historically, hypnosis has sometimes been used for entertainment purposes or as a tool to access the subconscious mind for personal growth and self-improvement.

On the other hand, hypnotherapy involves the deliberate and therapeutic use of hypnosis to address specific psychological or behavioral issues. It is a structured and guided process delivered by a trained hypnotherapist. Hypnotherapy is targeted at helping individuals overcome challenges, such as anxiety, phobias, smoking addiction, or weight management. Hypnotherapy also integrates various techniques and interventions while the client is in a hypnotic state, facilitating deep exploration, insight, and the potential for positive change. Unlike stage hypnosis, hypnotherapy prioritizes well-being and therapeutic outcomes, making it a valuable tool in the field of psychotherapy.

Six Definitions of Hypnosis
1.

A

.Many different methods address working with parts,
Working with your inner parts allows you to uncover elements of yourself that often have been buried or identify where parts have been carrying out roles they think may be beneficial.
Parts work is a means of discovering conflicts in ‘agendas’ between parts that are usually responsible for creating confusion or blocks in your emotional healing.

Using hypnotic induction, the practitioner calls upon the client to locate the part responsible for creating the client’s issue and then lets the client find events in their subconscious that illustrate when and why the part has continued to show up. Next, the client is given the opportunity to express the part’s purpose in their life.

The practitioner supports the client by giving the part a more beneficial role that will help the client overcome the issue and achieve their desired outcomes. This is further solidified through suggestion therapy which is the final step in the process.

As CAH is a lighter, more concise approach to hypnotherapy, practitioners can work with everyday issues such as confidence, anxiety, procrastination, fears and phobias, undesirable behaviors and habits (e.g., nail biting, etc.)

Definition 5
Gil Boyne, ‘Transforming Therapy’, 1985
Hypnosis is a natural state of mind with special identifying characteristics:

An extraordinary quality of relaxation.
An emotionalized desire to satisfy the suggested behavior: The person feels like doing what the hypnotist suggests, provided that what is suggested does not generate conflict with his belief system.
The organism becomes self-regulating and produces normalization of the central nervous system.
Heightened and selective sensitivity to stimuli perceived by the five senses and four basic perceptions.
Immediate softening of psychic defenses.

Definition 6
Marisa Peer
“Hypnosis is a way of directly accessing the subconscious mind so that clients can understand what is running their unwanted behaviors and then become free of them through a process of suggestion that bypasses the conscious mind and the critical factor, allowing the mind to accept suggestions it would have previously not have accepted.”
