Learn hypnotism in three days

Chapter 10 Music and Six Steps - Hypnosis Process (2)
Although not all psychological problems and abnormal behaviors are caused by childhood shadows, when solving some psychological problems, many psychological counselors still choose to start with understanding the childhood experience of the client.

When the hypnotist suggests to the hypnotized person: "I count to three, you will return to the time when you were a 6-year-old child." The hypnotized person seems to have returned to his 6-year-old age, and he will show the expression and language of the 6-year-old , tone, behavior, and even intelligence have returned to when he was 6 years old, and he can clearly recall what happened at the age of 6, which is very helpful for solving his psychological problems.

However, this age regression phenomenon, some people are a real age regression, while some people are a role-playing of their childhood selves, not really returning to their childhood.For example, when a woman was hypnotized, the hypnotist asked her to sing a nursery rhyme from her childhood, and she sang "Two Tigers".However, the nursery rhyme of two tigers hadn't appeared in her childhood.

There is a 32-year-old female patient, as long as she sees the two numbers 4 and 8 appearing at the same time, she will be extremely frightened, very anxious, and even feel so frightened that she does not want to live.Therefore, she always avoids these two numbers.However, in daily life, these two numbers are often unavoidably encountered.So, she decided to find a psychological counselor to consult her own psychological problems.

However, during the consultation process, she couldn't explain why she was so sensitive to these two numbers.She was eager to know the reason, so the psychological counselor suggested that she go for hypnosis to see if she encountered anything in her childhood that was related to these two numbers.But during deep hypnosis, her retrieval of memory was greatly hindered.After many hints, the hypnotist finally opened up the knot in her heart why she would be terrified whenever she saw the numbers 4 and 8.

It turned out that she grew up beside her grandma, and she had a very good relationship with her grandma.However, when she was five or six years old, there was a heavy thunderstorm in the village one day. She only remembered that there were lightning and thunder, and the sky was very dark.At that time, grandma stepped on the ladder to turn off the electric switch of her house, and she was holding the ladder for grandma under the ladder.Unexpectedly, a flash of lightning happened to pass by at this time, and grandma was electrocuted to death.She witnessed the whole process of the whole tragedy.

At that time, there was no one else in the house, and it was still very dark. She didn't know what to do, so she cried all night in the rain.The next day, the villagers notified her parents.Her parents came in a hurry, quickly dealt with grandma's funeral, and took her back to the city to raise her.Under hypnosis, she clearly remembered that the day when the incident happened happened to be April 4th.She still remembers that because the switch of the old home was aging, the insulating plastic outside the switch had completely fallen off, and all the metal wires inside the switch were exposed.

According to the memory clues provided by the hypnotist, the psychological counselor gave the woman psychological treatment, and her condition gradually improved.

Two, six steps of hypnosis
When we deeply study various complex phenomena of hypnosis, we will find that although the above-mentioned trichotomy of hypnosis has certain practical value, it cannot achieve more detailed classification and application.Many scholars have made unremitting efforts for this purpose. Davis-Husband divided the depth of hypnosis into [-] types; LeCron-Bordeaux divided the depth of hypnosis into [-] types;However, Arons six-level depth hypnosis test is often used by hypnotists during hypnosis.

The first level of hypnosis depth: very slight, the hypnotized person does not feel hypnotized, and feels as if they are in a fully awake state.A hypnotist can exercise a small amount of muscle control over it.

Eyelids are sticky.The hypnotist can give the following suggestion to the hypnotized person: "Now, you sit on a chair and your eyes are closed. You will feel that your eyes are completely closed. Wait a while, and I will ask you to try to open your eyes. But you can't open your eyes, and you will find that your eyes are still tightly closed. You can feel that the muscles around your eyes and eyebrows can still move, but the muscles of the eyelids just cannot move, and the eyelids cannot be opened. "

Hypnotist: "Now, I will start counting from one to three. When I count to three, please try to open your eyes, but you can't open them..."

Hypnotist: "[-]. The eyelids are stuck together by invisible glue; [-]. The eyelids are glued tighter and tighter; [-]. Now try to open your eyes, but you can't open them...Okay, stop trying now , Let the eyes relax completely. Start quietly enjoying the comfortable feeling of closing your eyes, and then you will enter a deeper hypnotic state."

The second level of hypnosis depth: the hypnotized person feels more relaxed, similar to a state of light sleep.At this time, the small thoughts and random thoughts running around in the hypnotized person's heart will begin to weaken, and the attention will begin to focus on the subconscious.At this point, the hypnotist can exercise most of the muscle control over it.

The arms are stiff.The hypnotist can give the following suggestive instructions to the hypnotized: "Now, I will pull your arm up, and your arm will be fixed in mid-air. At this time, you feel that your shoulders and elbows seem to be bound by steel wires. Lock it tightly. Even if I shake your arm, your arm will be full of elasticity, straight as an iron bar, and immediately spring back to its original position."

Hypnotist: "Wait a minute, I will ask you to try to put your arm down, but you will find that your arm is fixed there, and you can't put it down no matter what. No matter what kind of movements you make to let your arm down, your arm will They'll bounce right back."

Hypnotist: "Now, I start to count from one to three. When I count to three, please try to put your arms down, but your arms just can't be put down..."

Hypnotist: "[-]. Your arm is as hard as an iron bar; [-]. Your arm becomes very straight and hard; [-]. Try to put your arm down...but you will find that the harder you put your arm down, The more you can't put the arm down...Okay, stop trying now, relax your elbows, relax your shoulders, (at this time, the hypnotist is holding the subject's arm) put the arm down gently...then you will enter a deeper hypnosis state."

The third level of hypnosis depth: the hypnotist can control all the muscle activities of the hypnotized person, and the hypnotist can make the hypnotized person sit on a chair and cannot stand up.During this period, the hypnotized person begins to lose part of the pain sensation, but not completely.

We often see such stage shows: the hypnotist guides the hypnotized person to perform some performances, such as giving such instructions: "You can move, but you can't get out of this circle." We found that when the person walked to the boundary of the circle , Sure enough, it stopped, as if there was an insurmountable obstacle ahead.In fact, these performances require the hypnotist to at least guide the hypnotized person into the third stage of hypnotic depth before they can perform them.

It should be pointed out that the scope of work of clinical hypnotherapists is roughly within these three levels.

Digital barriers.The hypnotist can give the following suggestive instructions to the hypnotized person: "Now, I will ask you to count from one to five, and you will enter a deeper hypnotic state. When you count each number, I will say 'deeper, Deeper', you will enter a deeper hypnotic state. Now, please start counting."

Hypnotist: "Very well, you have done a good job. Next, I will ask you to count again. This time you will count as one, two, three, five (the hypnotist can repeat twice to deepen the hypnotized person's understanding of the number). Impression of your command). When you count to three, you will automatically jump directly to five, and the number between three and five disappears. Even if you try to count the number, you will find that you Your mouth and tongue can't make that sound anyway, so you'll count to one, two, three, five."

Hypnotist: "Okay, now please count from one to five."

If the hypnotized person accepts the hypnotist's suggestion at this time and skips the number "4" when counting, the hypnotist can conclude that the hypnotized person has entered the third level of hypnotic depth and can guide the hypnotized person to accept The next stage of testing.

If the hypnotist wants to further confirm whether the hypnotized person has entered the third level of deep hypnosis, he can choose to ask the hypnotized person how he feels, or he can give hypnotic suggestion instructions again for further testing.

Hypnotist: "Wait a minute, I will ask you to open your eyes and count from one to five. You will still count to one, two, three, five. You will not return to your original state until you hear me snap your fingers twice. way of counting."

Hypnotist: "Now, please open your eyes and count from one to five again."

Hypnotist: "Okay, very good. Now please close your eyes, and you will enter a deeper level of hypnosis."

The hypnotized who can pass this test will feel that hypnosis is so magical and have full confidence that they can be hypnotized.If the hypnotized person still cannot count the number "4" with his eyes open, it will make the hypnotized person feel even more shocked.So, this hypnosis test is very effective.

The fourth level of hypnosis depth: The hypnotized person begins to experience amnesia. For example, the hypnotized person will forget numbers, names, addresses, etc. under the condition of receiving the hypnotist's suggestion.

Another important feature is the complete loss of pain, but the sense of touch still exists.At this stage, when the hypnotized person is receiving dental treatment and minor surgical operations, the pain sensation seems to be blocked, and he will feel that air is blowing into the wound, but he does not feel pain.

Loss of pain sensation.The hypnotist can give the following suggestive instructions to the hypnotized: "Now, I will pull your arm up again, and your arm will automatically stop comfortably in mid-air, and straighten your fingers. Now, let you All the sensations on the hands disappeared (the hypnotist can gently scrape the hypnotized person's hand with his nails at this time to see the response ability of the hypnotized person), especially from the wrist to the finger joints. I feel it... all the sensations in your hands are gone, you have nothing to feel... you can't feel anything..." (The hypnotist can use his nails to pinch the hypnotized person hard at this time to see if the hypnotized person how the reader would react).

Hypnotist: "Tell me, how do you feel? You feel touched, but you don't feel pain, do you?"

If the hypnotized person feels pain, the hypnotist should stop.If the hypnotized person feels no pain, the hypnotist can guide the hypnotized person to the next stage of the test.

Hypnotist: "Now, let your hand fully recover the normal feeling, and you can clearly feel my nails touching your hand." (The hypnotist can use his nails to gently scrape the hypnotized person at this time) hand, and return his arm to its original position.)
Hypnotist: "Now, you will enter a deeper hypnotic state."

The fifth level of hypnosis depth: At this stage, the hypnotized person begins to appear sleepwalking. Under complete anesthesia, not only will he not feel pain, but he will not even be able to feel touch, that is, the state of complete disappearance of pain and touch.The phenomenon of positive hallucinations, that is, the ability to see people and things that do not actually exist.At this time, if the hypnotist holds a bottle of water and tells the hypnotized person that it is a bottle of high-end perfume, the hypnotized person will really smell the fragrance of the perfume.

Positive hallucinations.The hypnotist can give the following suggestion to the hypnotized person: "wait a while, I will count from one to three, when I count to three, please open your eyes, but you are still in a deep hypnotic state When you open your eyes, you will see a clock on the blank wall opposite. Then please describe what kind of clock you see."
