Learn hypnotism in three days

Chapter 8 Are you suitable for hypnosis? - Hypnotic Sensitivity (3)
Xiao Ke is a student in the third grade of junior high school. He is 16 years old this year.Just when she was preparing for the senior high school entrance examination, Xiao Ke suffered from a strange disease—when she read a book, she couldn't help but want to spit.This can be said to be a catastrophic strange disease for a student in school, because she is exposed to books every day.

At the beginning, Xiao Ke always wore a mask to school, and she also wore a mask when she picked up her textbooks.Because if I was seen by my classmates when I couldn't help spitting, the classmates would definitely laugh at me.However, the extent of her strange illness seems to be getting more and more serious, and now it has developed to the point where she can't help but spit.Xiao Ke's mother took Xiao Ke to many hospitals to see a doctor, but the doctors said that Xiao Ke's health was fine.But Xiao Ke's strange disease has seriously affected her study and life.

A colleague of Xiao Ke's mother suggested that she take Xiao Ke to a psychological consultation.Xiaoke's mother thought that after going to so many hospitals for examinations, but nothing could be found, it might really be a psychological problem.With the last hope, Xiao Ke's mother accompanied her daughter to counseling.

However, during the whole process of the counselor's psychological consultation with Xiao Ke, no real reason for Xiao Ke's spitting was found.The psychological counselor decided to hypnotize Xiao Ke, so that Xiao Ke could recall the first time she spit on a book.

During the growth process of each person, a psychological defense mechanism will naturally be formed to maintain vigilance against everything in the outside world, especially when facing strangers or unfamiliar environments, the vigilance will be higher, and at the same time, one's heart will be closed.

In psychology, these barriers are often referred to as "logical defenses, moral defenses, and emotional defenses."Therefore, when performing hypnosis, these three lines of defense must be broken through, otherwise hypnosis cannot be performed, and the root of the problem cannot be found.

At the beginning, Xiao Ke expressed doubts about hypnotism.Because Xiao Ke believes that hypnotism is developed from an ancient western witchcraft, and it is a crooked and unscientific thing.The hypnotist patiently explained to Xiao Ke, telling Xiao Ke that hypnotism is a science of excavating people's forgotten memories, what kind of effect it has and how to implement hypnosis.

It took a long time for the hypnotist to do this, but this process is an essential and important part.Because in this process, Xiao Ke not only eliminated the misunderstanding of hypnotism, but also developed a sense of trust in the hypnotist in many exchanges.Gradually, Xiao Ke's vigilance decreased.The trust of the hypnotized person in the hypnotist determines whether the hypnosis can be carried out smoothly.

Even so, it is not certain that Xiao Ke can accept hypnosis.The hypnotist conducted a sensitivity test on Xiao Ke.Because the hypnotic susceptibility of the hypnotized person is crucial to whether the hypnosis can be carried out normally.

The hypnotist first asked Xiao Ke to raise his palms relatively flat to his chest, keeping the palms at a distance of about 30 centimeters.Wait until Xiao Ke's hand is flat.The hypnotist began to suggest to Xiao Ke slowly: "Your hands are gradually retracted, and after a certain degree, you can no longer retract them. There seems to be a ball between your hands. Your two The hands never touch. And, after your hands are slowly fixed, they can never be separated."

When Xiao Ke was doing this sensitivity test, he clearly felt that his hands could not touch, but the distance between his hands was not obvious.Moreover, the harder Xiao Ke tried, he couldn't feel the state of being unable to touch, or the state of being inseparable.

This shows that Xiao Ke's hypnotic susceptibility is not sensitive, which means that in the process of hypnotizing Xiao Ke, there is a possibility of failure at any time.Moreover, it was difficult for Xiao Ke to enter a state of deep hypnosis.Therefore, in the process of hypnosis, it may not be possible to discover what is the psychological problem that caused Xiao Ke to spit.

After careful consideration, the hypnotist decided to use a prop in the hypnosis of Xiao Ke - a crystal ball.

We often see in many film and television dramas that when a person shakes a spherical object in front of another person, that person will become dull-eyed and follow the instructions issued by this person.In fact, this is a somewhat distorted process of using props to hypnotize.

Earlier, Brad, a British doctor, was very skeptical about Mesmer, the originator of hypnotism, using hypnosis to treat people's diseases.Later, Brad decided to go to Switzerland to see Mesmer-style deception.

Because Brad believed that Mesmer hypnosis was a deception, when he watched a Swiss doctor perform Mesmer hypnosis on a patient, he wanted to find some clues to debunk this lie.

As Brad watched the Swiss doctor hypnotize his patients with great concentration, he became very frustrated and disappointed.Because during the whole process, Brad didn't find any flaws.However, the patient's condition was miraculously cured.This touched Brad very much, so he decided to study Mesmer hypnosis.

During Brad's research, he conducted an experiment on bright spot fixation.Through repeated experiments, it has been proved that after staring at the bright spots for a long time, people will actually lose their physical pain and enter a state similar to sleep—that is, a hypnotic state.

And the props used in the hypnosis process - the crystal clear crystal ball is based on Brad's bright spot theory.

In fact, the luster emitted by the crystal clear crystal ball can produce a kind of stimulation to our retina, which will make our vision fatigue.In addition, in the process of people's gazing, some people can use their imagination, and at this time, some pictures or contents similar to people's imagined scenes will appear in the crystal ball.

When a hypnotist uses a crystal ball as a hypnotic gazing object, the following two methods are generally used: let the crystal ball move from high to low in front of the eyes of the hypnotized person, or slowly approach from far to near.In this way, the hypnotized person will have a natural feeling of drooping upper eyelids.

The hypnotist should pay attention to observation at this time. During the hypnosis process, if the facial muscles of the hypnotized person have begun to relax, the eyes can no longer be opened, the hands can no longer move, and the breathing is in a very stable state, it means that the hypnotized person has been hypnotized. The person has entered a hypnotic state.At this time, the hypnotized person will feel relaxed and comfortable.However, the hypnotized person only enters a state of light hypnosis.

Despite entering a shallow hypnotic state, once a person is hypnotized, they will still be unable to control their physical activities freely. This is the movement dominance period in the hypnotic state.For example, we have seen many stage hypnosis shows, and those hypnotized people often do some funny actions under the instructions of the hypnotist.

However, this is also a relatively shallow hypnotic period.With the further deepening of hypnosis, the hypnotized person will enter a period of perception dominance.For example, in some performances of hypnotic stage shows, the hypnotist will ask a hypnotized person to take off his shoes, put them in front of his nose, and tell him that this is a flower with a delicate fragrance.We will find that this person can't help smelling his own smelly shoes, which is a typical performance in the stage of hypnotic perception dominance.

Under the movement of the crystal ball, Xiao Ke gradually felt a very relaxed feeling.The hypnotist found that Xiao Ke's eyelids were gradually drooping, her facial muscles began to relax, her hands were hanging weakly on the sofa, and her breathing was very steady.The hypnotist knew that Xiao Ke had entered a hypnotic state.

Hypnotist: "Now, step back in time, and you are slowly returning to your childhood. You are now among the flowers, and the flowers in the flowers are emitting a fragrance."

Xiao Ke: "Well, there are many flowers. The smell of flowers is very fragrant, a kind of fragrance."

Hypnotist: "Very good. Feel again, now the bright sun is shining on your head. Your mood is very stable, you feel very relaxed, and there is a feeling of lightness like a feather. You are slowly , step by step forward."

At this time, the hypnotist found that Xiao Ke was almost paralyzed on the large sofa.The hypnotist knew that Xiao Ke had entered a more relaxed state.

At this time, under the guidance of the hypnotist, Xiao Ke's hypnosis quickly entered the period of perception control.Under hypnosis, the hypnotized person smells different smells under the guidance of the hypnotist, which are just some feelings or memories of the hypnotized person's past experience.The hypnotist can make these memories and feelings of the hypnotized person change in time and space through hypnosis.Then, let the hypnotized person enter a time or space imagined by himself, and the hypnotist can retrieve his past forgotten memories.

Under normal circumstances, after the end of the hypnotic action-dominated period and the perception-dominated period, if the hypnotic depth of the hypnotized person is further deepened, he will enter a memory-dominated period.The so-called memory dominance period means that the hypnotist can retrieve the memory of the hypnotized person who was previously forgotten by the consciousness and kept in the subconscious.

However, what worried the hypnotist still happened.When Xiao Ke entered the hypnotic memory domination period, she could no longer move forward.In the process of recalling Xiao Ke, she appeared in a painful state, which greatly hindered Xiao Ke's subconscious memory retrieval work.

The hypnotist felt that the crux of Xiao Ke's psychological problems could not be revealed all at once, but a process of gradual exploration was needed.Therefore, he ended the hypnosis of Xiao Ke, hoping to continue to explore the crux of Xiao Ke through subsequent hypnosis.

In fact, this is also a problem often encountered in the process of hypnosis-the retrieval of memory is greatly hindered.In the process of psychological counseling, if it is really impossible to find the root cause of the visitor's psychological problems, the psychological counselor will generally suggest that the visitor accept hypnosis.Because some memories that cause the psychological problems of the visitor may even be forgotten by the visitor himself.However, these memories are hidden in the subconscious mind, and all the hypnotist has to do is to extract these memories.

However, if the hypnotized person cannot enter a deep hypnotic state, the retrieval of memory work in the subconscious will be greatly hindered.The hypnotist will also be unable to discover the cause of the psychological problems of the hypnotized person, and it will be impossible to solve the psychological problems.
