Not all people can be hypnotized, and the degree of hypnosis will be different. This mainly depends on two conditions, one is the high quality and skill of the hypnotist, and the other is the situation of the hypnotized person. If the hypnotized person has a strong hint and a trusting attitude towards hypnosis, he can be hypnotized.
Hypnosis originated in the18th century, which was originally deceptive, so it was called "Jianghu magic". At that time, Dr. Franz mesmer, a German doctor, invented a magical therapy that could cure all kinds of unexplained strange diseases. In the dim light and illusory music, he instilled an invisible "hypnotic airflow" that only he could control. In this way, after hypnosis, patients will recover. Although it was later proved that Dr. mesmer was not completely correct, he was the first person to discover that thoughts can control and influence the body.
British ophthalmologist Dr. James Brad adopted this discovery in his treatment practice. 1842, he invented the English word "hypnosis" based on the Greek word "sleep". /kloc-in the 0 th and 9 th centuries, Indian doctors successfully used hypnosis as an anesthetic, even for amputation. This practice was not abandoned until the discovery of ether used for anesthesia.
Generally speaking, hypnosis caused a research upsurge in the19th century, including Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, who was also deeply influenced by hypnosis. In the first 30 years after entering the 20th century, people's research on it was neglected. It has been paid attention to and applied in the treatment of mental illness, and achieved certain success. Relatively speaking, during World War I, this kind of treatment received only a few people's attention. By the time of World War II, it received extensive attention and played a great role in the treatment of mental and physical diseases caused by war. In the late 20th century, with the intervention of experimental psychologists, the research and exploration of hypnosis entered a new stage. The British and American Doctors' Hypnotists Association was established one after another and published their own scientific journals.
In China, it can be said that hypnosis has a long history, which is also mentioned in Neijing. In ancient times, "You Zhu" and some religious ceremonies, such as "jumping to the gods", all contained hypnotic elements, but at that time they were mostly used for deception or a superstitious activity. In Europe and America, people have been studying hypnosis for a long time. The earliest record is that in Paris in the18th century, there was an Austrian doctor named FranzAntonMesmer who loved psychotherapy. 1775, he was able to treat patients with "animal magnetism" through a set of complicated methods, using magnets as hypnotic tools, including letting patients lie on their arms. The mechanism of hypnosis is explained by mysterious animal magnetism, which is a suggestive force according to modern understanding. It is said that the French government prepared to pay him a large sum of money for treatment, but he refused, probably because he didn't know it himself.
Later, a Scottish doctor, james braid, became interested in this phenomenon, which would anesthetize surgical patients. /kloc-in the 9th century, he put forward the word "hypnosis", which gave a scientific explanation to hypnosis. The word "hypnos" (meaning sleep) was changed to "hypnosis", which made hypnosis widely spread. Later, under years of systematic and in-depth research by a group of people led by Pavlov, a biologist in the former Soviet Union, hypnosis has made great progress, and hypnosis has really become a rational and useful applied science. Now famous universities and hospitals in many countries have hypnosis laboratories, and actively carry out feasibility studies on applying hypnosis to medicine, teaching, industry and other fields.
With the development of modern science and technology, people strive to explore the mystery of hypnosis and make it more scientific and systematic, thus attracting more and more attention. Psychologists have found that hypnosis is the key to open people's hearts and can give people wisdom and enlightenment. Most importantly, as a psychotherapy technique, it can make many difficult diseases recover, make anxiety and depression disappear instantly, and thus experience the warmth and fun of life. Thousands of years of practice have proved that hypnosis has certain application value in psychotherapy.
Unfortunately, hypnosis has long been mastered by religious clergy and used by some charlatans, which has damaged its reputation and been criticized. Especially in China, for various political reasons, hypnosis has not been recognized for a long time. With the deepening and perfection of psychological research, hypnosis, as a psychotherapy technique, has attracted the attention of domestic psychologists and medical circles in recent years, and also attracted the attention of all walks of life. The research on it is more and more in-depth, its application is more and more extensive, and hypnosis has gained a new life.
Fast two-hand guidance method
The method of instant hypnosis is to straighten the hypnotized person's hands, with their palms facing each other, about 15 cm apart. The method of hypnosis is this: now, you can put your hand on one side of your body. Later, I will ask you to reach out and do this pose again, and you will enter a wonderful hypnotic state in just a few seconds.
Would you like to? Now, close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, hold the inhaled air for a few seconds, and then spit it out slowly. Later, I want you to extend your hand as you did just now. When I ask you to reach out, I want you to open your eyes and follow my simple instructions. Now, continue to relax. I want you to reach out, like this.
After the hypnotist reaches out his hand, the hypnotic method in this step is to adjust the distance between his hands to about 15 cm, put your index finger at the height parallel to his eyes, and tell the hypnotist to move his eyes with your fingers and slowly move your index finger between his hands. Now, I want you to focus on my finger. Later, I will move my finger, but I want you to focus on the position of my finger just now.
Move your finger down quickly. You did a good job, completely focusing on where my finger used to be. I want to count from three to one. When I count to one, close your eyes. Third, the eyes are getting heavier and sleepy. Second, I began to have tears in my eyes. First, the eyelids are heavy. Let them close their eyes and relax. Even if you close your eyes, you can still imagine the points between your hands. I touch your hand gently now, and you will notice that your hand is getting closer.
After a while, your hand will touch. When your hands touch, your whole body will feel relaxed and soft, and you will enter a state of deep hypnosis. Hands are getting closer. When your hands touch, your whole body relaxes and becomes soft, and you go into a very special sleep. Now it's time to let go. When your hands touch, you will go into a very special sleep.
As the hypnotized person's hand gets closer and closer, put your hand outside his hand, touch it gently and push it closer. The key point of this hypnotic method of instant hypnosis is that you should be prepared. When his hands touch each other, at that moment, he quickly presses his hands to give the instruction of "sleeping", and at the same time, he gently presses the hands of the hypnotized object downward, which will bend the hands of the hypnotized object from the wrist and make his arms vertical to the hypnotized object, which will eventually hypnotize the hypnotized object instantly.
Pressing manipulation
(1) instruct customers to press the hypnotist's hand hard,
When she presses it, ask the customer to close his eyes and give him two tasks to concentrate.
(2) When the client presses the hypnotist's hand with his eyes closed, the hypnotist's hand suddenly pulls away, resulting in a shock reaction with a short duration, lasting at most 2 seconds. At this time, your client is in a highly suggestive state.
③ Say "Sleep!" Say it in an authoritative tone and instantly induce deep hypnosis, but if there is no immediate and deepening hint, your client will wake up.
(4) short and simple deepening hints, such as: "relax and be soft, and continue to relax every time you breathe. When I gently shake your head, your neck is loose and you feel relaxed all over your body. "
In this short form, it is very powerful and easy to induce, which can be simply summarized as 1 1 word in Chinese, "Press my hand, close my eyes ... go to sleep!"
Reverse method
① After the preparatory work is completed, let the subjects stand upright, put their feet together and take a few deep breaths to relax the muscles of the whole body, especially to eliminate the sense of urgency in the chest.
