To minimize risk of exposure to and spread of the COVID-19 virus, I have temporarily suspended in-person hypnotherapy sessions with me in my office, but they will be returning soon! Meanwhile, phone, and Zoom consultations ARE and WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE!
A customer
walked into a music store the other day and the shop assistant said, “Good
morning.”
The
customer replied, “You too.”
The
assistant said, “Second shelf, first aisle on the left.”
I have been a certified hypnotherapist,
officially, for nearly 16 years. Suggestibility—specifically, the difference
between emotional and physical suggestibility—is
one of the first concepts I learned about during my training at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute. All these
years later, I continue to be fascinated by and amused with the way people’s
suggestibility influences people’s day-to-day interactions and communication.
Briefly, HMI founder John Kappas, Ph.D., described
suggestibility as the way we communicate and learn. Specifically, physical
suggestibility is a literal and direct communication style. Emotional
suggestibility entails inference and metaphor; the person looks for meaning
behind the words.
Suggestibility occurs along a spectrum and it
is not determined by your gender or sexuality. It is a behavior that we typically
learn from our primary caretaker. Typically, although not necessarily, “mom,” a
primary caretaker is the person whom we identify as the individual that met our
most basic survival needs from when we were born until about age 8. So it is
very common to have a different suggestibility and communication “style” from
our secondary caretaker (e.g., dad), as I recently experienced.
My dad: Can I get you anything from the
grocery store?
Me: I actually need more black-tea bags for
hot tea. Thanks!
My dad: Okay. And he purchased, literally, a
box of black-tea bags.
What I meant, though, was that I wanted
more bags of Tetley tea, which we both prefer for hot tea. Because I meant
a specific brand, I assumed he knew that, too. Nope. A physical suggestible, he
literally purchased what I asked for, and I could only laugh about that.
A few days later, during a riding lesson, my
trainer told me to ask my horse to go “forward.” I honestly cannot remember
what her specific words or instructions were; they were very general and vague.
Literally, a metaphor. But those words resonated so deeply and comfortably that
I knew exactly what she meant and what she wanted me to do. They created
a picture in my subconscious mind, and that picture became a feeling. My body
instinctively knew what I needed to do, so I did that. Once again, I had to
laugh. This was also a superb example of suggestibility in action.
In reference to the fun exchange between an
employee at a music store, who do you think was the Physical Suggestible? Who was
the Emotional Suggestible?
I wonder how the rest of the conversation might
have gone…

Hi, there. I am Tom Neil and I want to describe how life had been for my younger brother living with schizophrenia and how he had been permanently able to overcome this debilitating disease via a naturopathic, herbal treatment.
ReplyDeleteMaicon - my kid brother was twenty years old when he was sent to the emergency room by the campus police of the college from which he had been suspended several months ago. A professor had called and reported that he had walked into his classroom, accused him of taking his tuition money, and refused to leave.
Although he had much academic success as a teenager, his behavior had become increasingly odd during the past year. He quit seeing his friends and no longer seemed to care about his appearance or social pursuits. He began wearing the same clothes each day and seldom bathed. He lived with several family members but rarely spoke to any of them. When he did talk to them, he said he had found clues that his college was just a front for an organized crime operation. He had been suspended from college because of missing many classes. My sister said that she had often seen him mumbling quietly to himself and at times he seemed to be talking to people who were not there. He would emerge from my room and ask my family to be quiet even when they were not making any noise.
My father and sister told the staff that Maicon's great-grandmother had had a serious illness and had lived for 30 years in a state hospital, which they believed was a mental hospital. Our mother left the family when Maicon was very young. She has been out of touch with us, and they thought she might have been treated for mental health problems.
Maicon agreed to sign himself into the psychiatric unit for treatment. The whole family except I had agreed to have Maicon transferred to a mental asylum. I knew inwardly there was still some plausible means by which my kid brother could overcome this condition. I knew botanical means of treatment will be more favorable than any other type of treatment, and as such, I had taken a keen interest in the research of naturopathic alternative measures suitable for the treatment of schizophrenia. I had pleaded for some little patience from the family in the delay of the transfer, I was looking forward to proving a point to the entire family, of a positive botanical remedy for this condition.
It was during my ceaseless search on the internet I had been fortunate enough to come across Dr. Utu Herbal Cure: an African herbalist and witch doctor whose professional works had majored on the eradication of certain viral conditions, especially schizophrenia, ( improving the memory capacity positively), via a traditional, naturopathic process and distinguished diet plan. It was by the administration of this herbal specialist that my brother had been able to improve his condition for better.
Before the naturopathic remedy - Maicon's story had reflected a common case, in which a high-functioning young adult goes through a major decline in day-to-day skills. Although family and friends may feel this is a loss of the person they knew, the illness can be treated and a good outcome is possible.
My brother Maicon is just like many other patients out there suffering from this disease. Although he was able to overcome this condition via a naturopathic herbal remedy administered by this African herbal physician and saved completely thus, rekindling the lost joy which had been experienced by the family members.
I wish to use this opportunity to reach across to anyone who may happen to be diagnosed with this disastrous condition to spread the hope of an everlasting herbal remedy that is capable of imposing a permanent end to this disease.
