Learn hypnotism in three days

Chapter 15 Looking back on the past and meditating on the future - hypnotherapy (1)
The future meditation therapy in hypnosis is actually to make people look at the current troubles from a longer-term perspective.Although the future time period can be chosen arbitrarily during the practice of future meditation therapy, the time period of seven years in the future is generally used.It should be noted that when the hypnotist applies future meditation therapy, the guiding words usually slow down to one-third of the usual speaking speed.

[-]. Age retrospective

Age regression is also known as the regression effect in hypnosis, that is, under the condition of deep hypnosis, the memory of the hypnotized person can regress to a certain stage of life in the past.Generally speaking, when the hypnotized person performs age regression, there will be three situations.

1. It's just a replay of past memories.The hypnotized person is like watching a movie, watching the things that happened to him in the past from the perspective of a bystander.

2. The hypnotized person will integrate into the memory of the past, as if what happened in that period happened to him again.In this case, the hypnotized person can vent the backlog of bad emotions at that time, so as to achieve a therapeutic effect.However, the language, thoughts, behaviors and concepts of the hypnotized person still maintain the current state.

3. The hypnotized person will fully integrate into the situation at that time.At this time, the language, thoughts, behaviors and concepts of the hypnotized person will regress to the age he recalls.For example, when the hypnotized person returns to his five-year-old age, he will really speak with the childish voice of a five-year-old child.When the hypnotist took a pen and asked him to write, his handwriting would also look like a five-year-old child.Moreover, the IQ of the hypnotized person will be reduced to the age of five.

The reason why the hypnotherapy method of age regression has such a miraculous effect is that under the effect of regression, our memory can be brought back to the past, so that we can clearly recall those forgotten past events in the past.

The reason why people have many mental illnesses is often because we avoid the major blows that happened by suppressing or forgetting, which is called psychological defense mechanism in psychology.However, this is always a negative way to deal with these traumas. Although the problem can be solved temporarily, these traumas will haunt people's lives in various deformed ways.

Therefore, the application of age regression hypnosis can help people trace back to the origin of mental illness, so that effective treatment can be carried out with the right medicine.

Xiao He is a middle school teacher, 45 years old this year.She suffers from severe insomnia and can only sleep for more than an hour every day, which greatly damages her mental state. In desperation, she had to take sleeping pills.However, after taking sleeping pills for a long time, she found that she had developed resistance to sleeping pills, and sleeping pills no longer worked for her.Later, she heard that hypnosis could cure insomnia, so she decided to give it a try.

The hypnotist first asked her, "Since when did you suffer from insomnia?"

Xiao He: "About 21 years ago."

Hypnotist: "What exactly caused it, do you remember?"

Xiao He: "I don't remember, anyway, one day 21 years ago, I suddenly suffered from insomnia."

Hypnotist: "When you perform hypnosis later, I will guide you to when you were 24 years old, that is, 21 years ago, to see what caused your insomnia." Xiao He nodded, Agree.

However, during the first hypnosis, she couldn't enter the state anyway.The hypnotist found that she had maintained a high level of vigilance before the hypnosis, and she could not relax at all, let alone enter the hypnotic state.Later, the hypnotist asked her: "Is it because I am a man that you have maintained such a high level of vigilance." Xiao He nodded.

Hypnotist: "Are you afraid that after being hypnotized by me, you will lose the awareness of self-protection and be violated by me?" Xiao He nodded shyly.

Hypnotist: "Although, under hypnosis, people's awareness of vigilance will be very low, but when people encounter things that are not good for them, they will still remain vigilant and protect themselves."

Xiao He: "But..." Xiao He expressed a bit of embarrassment.

Hypnotist: "The key to hypnosis is to establish a relationship of trust between the hypnotist and the person being hypnotized. Since you can't trust a male hypnotist, we can arrange a female hypnotist for you." So, Xiao Ho's hypnotist was replaced by a woman.

Hypnotist: "You can sit in any position you find comfortable."

When Xiao He sat down, the hypnotist asked her to close her eyes, and Xiao He obediently closed her eyes.Then, the hypnotist put his right hand gently on the top of Xiao He's head: "Now, you feel a warm current flowing down from your head slowly to your feet. You feel this warm current The warm current flows all over your body. When the warm current flows to any part of your body, that part will feel very comfortable and relaxed."

The hypnotist watched Xiao He gradually calm down and his breathing began to become even, so he continued to induce: "Now, your whole body, including your mind, feels an unprecedented comfort and relaxation, and you gradually enter a deeper hypnotic state." At this time, the hypnotist gently raised Xiao He's arm, then lowered it, and found that Xiao He's arm fell heavily and naturally.The hypnotist determined that Xiao He had entered a deeper hypnotic state.

Hypnotist: "Now, you start to imagine that you are going down the stairs. Every time you go down the stairs, you will enter a deeper hypnotic state. Next, I will count from one to ten, and I will count every number , you just go down one flight of stairs, and you will enter a deeper hypnotic state."

Hypnotist: "One, you have entered a more relaxed and serene state of hypnosis..."

Hypnotist: "Second, your heart becomes more relaxed, more comfortable, and more peaceful..."

Hypnotist: "Three, your heart becomes quieter, more relaxed, and more comfortable... Four... Five... Six... Seven... Eight... Nine, you are about to enter a deeper hypnotic state. "

Hypnotist: "Very good. Ten, you have entered a deeper hypnotic state."

Hypnotist: "Now, imagine that you have come to a road. There are no other people or cars on this road, but you are alone. And the road is lined with neat trees. These trees represent your various ages. , a total of 45 trees."

Hypnotist: "Now, please walk to the time when you are 45 years old, that is, stand next to the tree that represents your 45-year-old age. Then, run towards the tree that represents your 24-year-old age."

The hypnotist noticed that Xiao He seemed to be breathing slightly, so he asked: "Have you run to the tree that represents you at the age of 24? Can you tell me what happened to you at this age? ?”

Xiao He: "One night, I just came out of the shopping mall. It was already very late at that time. I was very scared, so I hurried home. But, I don't know why, I suddenly felt very dizzy and dizzy. fell to the ground."

Hypnotist: "And then?"

Xiao He: "I don't know what happened during this period, but I must have been raped by a strange man."

Hypnotist: "Why?"

Xiao He: "Because it was very dark at that time, there were basically no people on the road, and when I woke up, I found that my glasses were broken, my face was full of blood, and my clothes looked messy."

Hypnotist: "Then did similar things happen later?"

Xiao He: "One time, on the way home from get off work, I suddenly felt very dizzy. I remembered the last time I fainted outside the mall. In order to prevent similar things from happening again, I kept telling To myself: 'Don't faint, don't fall asleep.' Later, I really didn't faint."

Hypnotist: "Is it because you can no longer fall asleep normally after going through this?"

Xiao He: "Yes."

Hypnotist: "The fainting incident in the shopping mall, in fact, you were not robbed, everything was just your own wild imagination."

Xiao He: "Everything is just my own wild imagination."

Hypnotist: "From now on, you can fall asleep quickly. Remove the original hint of 'no sleep'."

Xiao He: "I can fall asleep quickly."

Hypnotist: "Very well, we are now about to end this hypnosis."

Hypnotist: "During the process of hypnosis just now, what you experienced and felt will be clearly remembered in your mind, and you can recall it at any time, and get great inspiration and help from it."

Hypnotist: "This hypnosis experience has changed your body and mind a lot, and everything will happen in the most beneficial way for you..."

Hypnotist: "Now, listen to me start counting down from five to one. Every time I count a number, you will become more awake. When I count to one, you will be fully awake and return to normal consciousness. state."

Hypnotist: "Now, get ready to wake up. Five, feel that your consciousness is slowly waking up..."

Hypnotist: "Fourth, the heart is still peaceful and relaxed...relaxed and comfortable..."

Hypnotist: "Three, I will wake up immediately..."

Hypnotist: "Second, this hypnosis experience will help you enter the deeper inner world more easily in the next hypnosis..."

Hypnotist: "One, with a great feeling... very comfortable to move limbs slowly... slowly to open eyes... very comfortable to return to the real world... feel very relaxed... ...comfortable...well, you're wide awake."

After finishing this hypnosis, Xiao He underwent several more hypnosis, and finally he was able to fall asleep without taking sleeping pills.

In fact, after experiencing the incident in the shopping mall, Xiao He stubbornly believed subconsciously that he must have been robbed after fainting that time.Therefore, after encountering a similar dizziness incident, Xiao He kept hinting to herself: "I can't sleep." However, she did not remove this hint at the right time, so she couldn't sleep after returning home at night. up.This is just a hinted instruction given to myself.

[-]. Positive hints

Hypnotic suggestion therapy is a psychological treatment method that uses certain hypnotic techniques to make the hypnotized person enter a hypnotic state, and uses positive hints to control the hypnotized person's physical and mental state and behavior, so as to alleviate and cure the patient's physical diseases and psychological disorders.

The psychological basis of hypnotherapy is the suggestive effect of the hypnotist on the hypnotized.Hypnotic suggestion therapy is the process in which the hypnotist uses implicit and indirect ways to influence the psychology and behavior of the hypnotized person.Its function often makes the hypnotized person act in a certain way unconsciously, or accept certain opinions and beliefs without criticism.It can even be said that suggestion is one of the best ways for the hypnotist to manipulate the subconscious mind of the hypnotized person.

As a method of psychotherapy, hypnotic suggestion therapy has wide application value.Not only can it be used to treat some mental diseases and neuroses, but it can also be used to treat some physical diseases, especially various physical and mental diseases.

At the same time, hypnotic suggestion can also help relieve pain, assist anesthesia in surgical operations, and eliminate the influence of negative emotions such as anxiety and depression in patients.For example, it can reduce women's pain and tension during childbirth.In addition, it can also be used to correct bad behavior habits, such as quitting smoking.

In rural areas in many parts of our country, this custom still exists.When a child who is not sensible is frightened by accident, for example, after being frightened by some ferocious animals outdoors, the parents of the child will usually come to the place where the child was frightened during the day at night, and call the child's name, call the child Don't be afraid, and then yell: "Come back, come back!" Sometimes some paper money is burned as a sacrifice to heaven and earth.

This custom is called "calling the soul".Some people think that this is purely a superstitious practice, but we have to admit that many children recover after such superstitious "soul calling".

In fact, many psychological counselors believe that "soul calling" should not be regarded as a purely superstitious activity.Generally speaking, "calling the soul" is a relatively primitive hypnotic suggestion treatment method in folk customs in our country.It's just that the folk activities of "Soul Calling" are not explained in a scientific language and text, but in the way of oriental mysticism.

Before hypnotic suggestion psychotherapy was systematically studied as a science and formed an independent theoretical system, there were many psychological healing methods of hypnotic suggestion in the folk.For example, a hypnotic suggestion therapist in the early stage put the patient in a wooden barrel filled with water, and placed a circle of magnet plates inside the wooden barrel when he was performing treatment.Then, the hypnotist holds an iron rod in his hand and stirs it in the water, and circles around the wooden barrel, chanting words in his mouth, so as to achieve the purpose of treating the patient's disease.This is similar to the folk "soul calling" in our country.

"Soul calling" is generally suitable for the treatment of frightened children and adults, that is to say, it is suitable for the treatment of those who have coma, amnesia, or hallucinations due to sudden setbacks. resulting in mental disorders.

Xiao Qi is a student in a key middle school and always wears contact lenses.One day, after he removed his contact lenses, he suddenly found that he could not see in his left eye.In the next few days, Xiao Qi went to several hospitals for examinations, but found no lesion in his left eye. The doctor suggested that Xiao Qi go to a psychiatrist to see if the sudden blindness was caused by psychological problems.

In the initial diagnosis by a psychiatrist, it was found that Xiao Qi was suffering from hysterical blindness, that is, blindness caused by psychological problems.Hysterical blindness is a hysteria characterized clinically by visual disturbance.The patients mainly presented symptoms such as poor vision, decreased vision, and eye swelling, but no organic damage could be found after examination.The psychiatrist suggested that Xiao Qi should undergo hypnotherapy.

Hypnotist: "Your eyes are not caused by physical lesions, but by psychological problems. You will recover your eyesight, so you don't have to be nervous, just relax."

The hypnotist's explanation, comfort and support can make the hypnotized person correctly understand their own problems, and then eliminate the influence of doubts, worries and other bad emotions.

Hypnotist: "Hypnotherapy has no side effects on you. You can rest assured about this. I hope you can actively cooperate with me throughout the hypnosis process. Because of individual differences, not everyone can be successfully hypnotized So, if there is a situation where hypnosis cannot be successful, I hope you will not pretend that you have entered a hypnotic state, which will be very detrimental to your treatment."

It is essential for the hypnotist to introduce the methods and precautions of hypnosis to the hypnotized.In this way, the hypnotized person can actively cooperate with the work of the hypnotist, so as to achieve a better hypnotic effect.

Hypnotist: "Now, please lie down. As you lie down, you will feel your whole body begin to relax."

Hypnotist: "Now, you begin to take deep breaths. Each deep breath will bring you into a deeper hypnotic state. You will feel more and more relaxed and comfortable."

At this time, the voice of the hypnotist should become lower and lower and lighter.

The hypnotist watched Xiao Qi gradually calm down and his breathing began to become even, so he continued to induce: "Now, your whole body including your mind feels an unprecedented comfort and relaxation, and you gradually enter a deeper hypnotic state. "

At this time, the hypnotist can conduct a simple test on the hypnotized person to check whether the hypnotized person has entered the hypnotic state and determine whether to proceed to the next step.

The hypnotist opened Xiao Qi's eyelids for inspection, and found that Xiao Qi's eyeballs did not move, so the hypnotist determined that Xiao Qi had entered a hypnotic state.
