For the second year in a row, I spent a wonderful autumn afternoon doing handwriting analyses to help celebrate “Catober Fest” at The Cat Doctor & Friends  veterinary clinic in Santa Clarita, California.  In addition to honoring all things cat and introduce residents to Dr. Tracy McFarland and the other wonderful veterinarians and technicians who work at her clinic, the open-house event was also a fundraiser for the Forgotten Angels Cat Rescue. My family adopted our kitty from this rescue a couple of years ago, so I donated all proceeds from the analyses I did today to help support this organization’s rescue efforts. Following is a description of how I use the information I learn about you from your writing to facilitate your hypnotherapy session with me so you can achieve your vocational and avocational self-improvement goals.

                Handwriting is a manifestation of what you consciously think, but it is motivated by a subconscious ideomotor (automatic physical) response. The way you write—the shape and size of each letter, whether you connect the letters and even the speed of your writing—are literally a reflection of your behavior and personality traits. Your handwriting does not reveal your age or gender; nor will it enable me (or anyone else) to determine whether you are right- or left-handed or to predict your future. However, your handwriting will reveal your mood, personality traits, suggestibility and subconscious motivations at the time of writing this sample. Following is a list of some of the characteristics I analyze in every writing sample. I do not focus on the content of what you have written; however, the form and characteristics of each letter will help me identify, confirm or negate your specific personality traits and how those traits may be affecting behavior.

·         Baseline slant: This handwriting characteristic indicates the mood of the person at the time the handwriting sample is done. An upward slant would suggest that you tend to be optimistic. A downward slant suggests a more pessimistic attitude or possible depression, which would necessitate a referral to a licensed medical or psychological professional for further evaluation and/or treatment. A baseline that undulates like waves indicates moodiness, which could be associated with low blood sugar/hunger.

·         Connecting strokes: Writing samples whose letters are connected and flow together indicate someone who has a very methodical and systematic way of thinking. Writing samples that feature little or no connection between the letters could indicate someone who is very analytical and can intuit information or results from just a few pieces of information.

·         Margins: Do you start and/or finish writing at the edge of the page? The more room you leave on the right-hand margin of the page indicates that you tend to be generous with the amount of time and space you leave for other people. If you have wider margins on the left-hand margin of the page, you are more generous with yourself.

·         Pressure of the writing: I can tell by feeling the grooves on the reverse side of the page how much pressure (intent or emotion) the writer invested in writing this sample. Someone who is very passionate or emotional about the topic would tend to exert more pressure when writing. Conversely, areas of lighter pressure (no groove) could indicate less emotion, indifference or even physical weakness.

·         Signature: A person’s signature indicates how he or she would like to be seen by others. It is not necessarily indicative of who the person really is/what the person is really like. Someone whose signature matches or is most like the body of the writing tends to be very no-nonsense; “what you see is what you get.” The opposite would be true of an individual whose signature is very different from the rest of the writing.

·         Slant of letters: The degree of angle or slant of your letters indicates whether you tend to repress or express your emotions. Someone whose writing has a left-hand slant tends to hold in emotions whereas a person whose writing that slants to the right will express how he or she is feeling. The greater the degree of the slant indicates the degree to which emotions are repressed or expressed.

·         Zones: Each “zone” of writing indicates where the person puts the greatest emphasis or priority in his or her life. The upper zone is where thought/fantasy/analysis occurs. The middle zone concerns daily life, communication and responsibility. The lower zone is dedicated to fulfilling physical or materialistic needs: sex, clothes, shelter and money.

These are just a few of the indicators I look at when I analyze handwriting in my hypnotherapy practice.
