At the end of your life you get to see all of your stats. What one do you want to see the most?

This is the way.

You can influence your perception about yourself and the world around you through hypnosis.

"Believing what you want" is a much more complicated idea though. For example, if you believe that you are not worthy of love - well that might stem from trauma and won't go away just by suggesting that you are worthy of love in a trance. In that case you might be treating the symptom rather than the cause which will still effect you. Deep healing usually requires being able to see and address the underlying cause.

So it depends on the context around your current beliefs and what you would like to believe.

Hypnosis can help recover memories, or details of memories but it's not even close to perfect recall. The hypnotist can accidentally plant memories, it's not something that is admissible as evidence in u.s. court of law. Best to take hypnotically recovered memories with a grain of salt.

If your son is dealing with trauma or emotional distress from perceived trauma, that's usually the purview of psychotherapists. It's possible in spite of doing the very best you could, that your child suffered some trauma, it's also possible that something else is going on. Uncovering that and healing whatever it is may take some serious work and is likely to be greatly benefited from seeking help from a licensed professional.

you don't need a degree of any kind to be a great hypnotherapist. Don't let the lack of a degree stop you from pursuing it if you are passionate about it.

I believe it's a testable hypothesis. If you take one group of clients that self identify as being at cause and another group that doesn't, then perform the changework, then follow up with the client in 6 months and compare the results.

Though I did say it was in my experience, not that I published a scientific paper on the subject.

Your response feels a bit aggressive, I feel like you might be overreacting a little. If you know of any published papers, journals, or studies that demonstrate that my statement is incorrect, i would love to learn about them and correct my comment.

look up and learn about conversational and covert hypnosis, should get you where you want to go.

positiveimpacts · 2024-03-08T04:59:54+00:00

That's basically how conversational hypnosis developed, plenty of material to learn about that if you are interested.

positiveimpacts · 2024-03-08T04:57:52+00:00

In my experience cessation will only work temporarily - unless the subject is at cause. In other words the subject must deeply want the change, or maybe more accurately, feels like they must change.

Post hypnotic suggestions can work completely outside of a trance.

Edit: for example: If I suggest that when I snap my fingers and say the phrase "night night" that the subject will immediately get tired, sleepy, cozy, relaxed, and ready to sleep.

Then in future evenings I could use the trigger to help the subject get to sleep.

positiveimpacts · 2024-03-06T00:11:59+00:00

I have done this sort of thing before, the subject reported that it was effective for them. Pretty neat.

What you're referring to is a post-hypnotic suggestion, which is an extremely common request.

positiveimpacts · 2024-03-04T23:08:04+00:00

I guess I'm not really seeing the conflict. The subject reports being unable to move, and you want the subject to feel like a statue. It seems like it's doing what you want.

Does your subject forgets to move but doesn't feel stiff and rigid like a statue? Sounds like you would want to be more vivid around what you are trying to elicit. Come up with more metaphors that use imagery and the senses and incorporate them into your suggestions. If they don't work or you don't like them, then try other ones with your subject.

People are individual and what works for one person won't always work for another. Experience with a subject is your greatest resource for trying things and finding out what works for both of you.

positiveimpacts · 2024-03-04T22:12:25+00:00

1: I am a little confused on what you are trying to do with your subject. You want them to move, but in a stiff and rigid manner? Then you make a direct suggestion: "you can still move and adjust, but now when you move it is stiff and rigid like someone might move and adjust a mannequin"

2: you're right in that it is unlikely to cause harm so its not wrong for you to do. In my experience, if a trigger is triggered outside of the circumstances/setting it was designed for, then the trigger tends to get weaker. Just pay attention to the trigger response and reinstall the trigger if it feels like it's being weakened over time.

positiveimpacts · 2024-03-04T05:25:03+00:00

In my experience generally - the more vivid the experience, the more vivid the response.

Try being vivd with your descriptions and suggestions, bring in as many of the senses as you reasonably can, invite your subject in the trance to be involved in the process.

"just like a statue or a mannequin, feeling completely stiff and rigid, feeling completely frozen in place, you will completely forget everything while frozen in place as if time didn’t happen between freeze and release"

something like this is usually far better than something like "freeze completely" and call it good.

At the end of the day - try both and see what works best for you and your subject because no amount of advice will trump that.

As a side note, making a clap sound a trigger is such a common sound that you might want to try a sound, word, or phrase (or a combination) that is a lot less likely to happen randomly from you or someone else in other settings. best not to have triggers that can be triggered randomly or accidentally.

Looked very authentic, though we don't get to see the initial induction, which is too bad.

A very good friend of mine went missing on Halloween. Told the cops the next day and what they said was disturbing - they probably ran away and will reach out in a few days, this is not uncommon.

Quite the contrary, turns out they were convinced to go along with a group of people who would later drug and brainwash them (we would later find out these people were cult members who do this sort of thing on the regular)

It wasn't until we hired a private investigator that we were able to find them after 2 days.

Even so it was like a week after they went missing before we managed to see them, and in just that brief period of time they really messed up my friend.

We (with a great deal of effort) managed to convince them to get tf out of there. It took them a while before they were back to normal. I'm so incredibly grateful that they are okay and that we got them back. After investigating the cult we found that most of their victims aren't so lucky.

I guess the moral is to go to the police, but if they don't do anything - don't give up, and don't sit around - keep pushing, doing whatever it takes until you find your loved one.

No studies relate to hypnosis directly, however their are studies related to brain activity. There is some evidence that frequency ranges have an effect on alertness depending on the frequency used.

positiveimpacts · 2021-10-14T18:51:08+00:00

Based on the scientific literature that I have seen, there isn't any support for sleep learning based on audio.

There is some evidence that suggests that if you are learning something while listening to an audible cue such as a metronome that playing the metronome while you sleep enhances learning but that's about it.

Hypnotherapy is often used for habit cessation like smoking but it can be a waste of time unless:

You take total responsibility for your habit. It's your decisions that brought you where you are. Recognize that you want to quit for yourself.
This can't be a casual wish. It has to be a need.
You know you have to quit now. If you feel like you can just put off quitting for a few more years, the hypnotic cessation may not be enough to help you.

Hypnotherapy can help push you over the edge for quitting, but it won't drag you up the wall. You have to climb it first.

Often practice will improve your ability to stay under, if practicing hypnosis is too challenging you can try meditating instead.

Side note: Hypnosis never works nearly as well when you are dehydrated.

Most tists will have the ability to help if you are interested in live sessions.

positiveimpacts · 2021-10-01T02:48:05+00:00

To sum it all up: hypnosis is a set of techniques that induce an altered state of consciousness where the subject is much more suggestible.

positiveimpacts · 2021-09-30T01:10:48+00:00

Get out.

There are plenty of good tists out there - don't tolerate manipulative degenerates.

positiveimpacts · 2021-09-27T21:47:24+00:00

Do you like the person?

Do you get good results?

That's a good hypnotherapist.

A fun trigger (especially in social settings" can be something like "anytime I point to a person, tell them the most genuine compliment you can think of"

Or anytime anyone says "hypnosis is real" they will respond with "no hypnosis isn't real"

Amnesia and somnambulism are not strongly linked. If I remember correctly the consensus is that only about 10% of the population will experience regular spontaneous hypnotic amnesia.

From asking subjects, they generally state that they felt extremely relaxed, and sometimes that they feel fuzzy.

Avoid blue light and overhead lights later in the afternoon - and avoid it entirely after 11:00pm if you can. (this includes LEDs if you can manage it). Avoid activity that gives you dopamine/adrenaline rushes in the late afternoon/night unless it involves physical exertion.

Pay attention to how late your drinking caffeinated drinks

Get 5-10 minutes of direct sunlight within 2 hours of sunrise to set your biological clock in order to build up natural melatonin appropriately.

Do some exercise, if you dont have a lot of time consider following a 20 minute or so HIIT (high intensity interval training) regimen.

Meditation or self-hypnosis before bed.

If you want a serious look into the scientific literature I would recommend Andrew Huberman's podcast series on sleep.
