Every now and
then, someone seeking hypnotherapy comes in for the appointment already hypnotized. Hypnosis is a
completely natural state which every one of us experiences for approximately 30
minutes, at least twice a day—just before drifting to sleep at night and right
after waking up in the morning. As I have
explained in previous blogs, we are also susceptible to experiencing a natural,
environmentally-induced trance at other times of the day. (For more information
about this topic, see: Have
You Ever Been Hypnotized Before?; An
Extreme Example of Environmental Hypnosis; and Hypnotized
by the Grocery Store. And then there are instances in which we hypnotize
ourselves. This is the state (and
kind) of hypnosis I will address in this essay.
Psychologist
and hypnotherapist John Kappas PhD observed that hypnosis occurs when an overload of message units disorganizes
the inhibitory process, which triggers the fight/flight response to result in
this hyper-suggestible state. Since we are more suggestible to ourselves than
any other stimuli in our environment, we can get caught in a pattern of
carrying beliefs or behaving in ways that do not work for us, but we continue
to act that way because that is what we have always done. For example, someone
who continues to accept work that is considerably below the individual’s skill
and desired pay-grade may do this because the individual follows a subconscious
mental script that says this is the best he or she can do. Now, despite
expressing a desire to pursue a more lucrative career and possessing obvious
skill to do that work, the person doesn’t even try to pursue a different career
because he or she believes that original mental script.
To help an
already-hypnotized client exit this state, Dr. Kappas advised deepening the
person’s state even further and blocking his or her subconscious mind from
accepting negative suggestions or influences from the environment. This must be
done before proceeding with the
regular hypnotherapy session to address the self-improvement goals that the client
wants to actualize, the Hypnosis Motivation Institute founder said. If the
client knows when, where and why these negative mental-scripts evolved, I will
systematically desensitize the person to the environmental stimuli that trigger
the undesired responses/behaviors.
However, if the
client does not know how these negative mental scripts evolved, I do not employ age-regression therapy to
explore and desensitize the origins of those negative beliefs. (For more
information about this topic, see my blog titled “Age
Regression…and why I Don’t Use This Technique. Rather, I use a technique called
“rejection-proofing,” wherein I provide hypnotic suggestions to help increase
the client’s overall self-acceptance, self-appreciation and self-approval. This
process enables the individual to dismiss the negative self-talk (“chatter”) in
the person’s subconscious mind and re-write a new mental script to reinforce
the positive beliefs about his or her abilities to pursue those goals.
Finally, to
increase the person’s ability to control entering the hypnotic state, I target
the logical (left-brain) side of the client’s subconscious mind during this and
subsequent hypnotherapy sessions. I also teach the person how to count out of
hypnosis whenever the individual notices that he or she is naturally entering
this state at home, work, driving or any other time.

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 method.
ReplyDeleteMaicon - my kid brother was twenty years old when he was brought 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.
