Hypnosis Demystified: Our Modern, Efficient Method of Hypnosis, Illustrated
Hypnosis works for many problems, including overcoming fears or worries, becoming more confident and turning procrastination into motivation. Here's how it works.
Hypnosis can be defined in two parts:
- Bypass of the critical faculty of the conscious mind, and
- The establishment of acceptable selective thinking.
(Elman, 1964)
The critical faculty is the part of your mind that judges, analyzes and evaluates what other people say.
Selective thinking is a wholehearted fixation on an idea. By definition, it's uncritical, and it can only be established when the critical faculty is bypassed.
Under these conditions, we have hypnosis.
People enter into hypnosis all of the time. For example, in order to enjoy a movie, you must allow your critical faculty to be bypassed (in this case, we call it "suspension of disbelief," and we relish it) and then you must accept the events of a movie uncritically. It's then that a great movie can move us deeply, and affect the way we see the world for some time afterward.
Although most people can enter into hypnosis quickly, being in hypnosis is only the first step to achieving lasting change. What matters more is what we do once you're in hypnosis. While there are too many methods to describe on this page, we have begin to describe a few of our methods here.
General Session Structure
Although every session is different, a typical session follows the flowchart below. The video explains regression and parts work.
The Elman Induction (With Contingencies)
The Elman induction allows most clients to enter hypnosis within four minutes, and it includes built-in tests to ensure that the client has passed level 3 on the Arons scale for hypnosis. We've added contingencies for each test, to ensure that every client enters into a usable level of hypnosis.
