Handwriting
is a manifestation of what we consciously think, but it is motivated by a
subconscious ideomotor (subconscious 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.
At the beginning
of their first hypnotherapy session with me, I ask my clients to write a few
sentences that describe their reasons/motivations for seeking hypnotherapy to
change a specific behavior. Handwriting does not reveal the age or gender of the writer; nor will it enable me
(or anyone else) to determine whether the person is right- or left-handed or to predict the writer’s future. However, handwriting will reveal
the person’s mood, personality traits, suggestibility and subconscious
motivations at the time of writing this sample. I analyze specific
characteristics of the writing, not the content of what is written, per se, to
identify, confirm or negate the writer’s specific personality traits and
how those traits affect behavior.
I use these
observations, plus the information that the client provides for me during the
pre-hypnosis component of the consultation, to create a powerful hypnotic script
that will help the person achieve specific, vocational and avocational self-improvement
goals. Handwriting analysis is also useful to help a client identify other
issues (e.g., stubbornness, low self-esteem/self-confidence) that may be
impacting the presenting issue, and which the person may want to address during
this or a future hypnotherapy session.
