Hypnocology
Technique types from which a hypnotherapist selects administration of medical hypnotherapy varied and continue to vary throughout history. Memory is the only definition of hypnosis. Techniques as well-known and over-commercialized as the, “look into my eyes,” technique, swinging the pendulum of a gold ring, hand tracing, finger snapping, counting, silence, arm or limb elevation, aromatherapy, soundology, herbalology, loud sensational noise-making, noisy crowds, classrooms, and so forth are all options. Kroeger, August, Braid, Nancy, Mesmer, Erickson, de Puseygar, or any number of styles practiced by those who paved the road known as hypnosis all had skills worth acquiring. Psychology administered through hypnotherapy is the term that this practitioner coins as hypnocology.
Thorough intake based upon an extensive histology is essential. Treatment will address only the patient’s actual complaints, so avoid over pathologizing. Success is determined by the patient only if the chief complaint presented is cured or at least reduced. Assume every bit of confidence and positivity without surrendering control or atmosphere. Utilize distancing techniques to divert psychosomatic ailments.
Sleep induction is both instantaneous and leveling through positivity and control. Eliminate resistance. Remind the patient that they will not improve until resistance is dropped. Convince the patient of the intelligence of their own investment. Instruct the patient to allow the hypnotherapeutic medication to work.
It is especially important to implement only the patient’s belief system through suggestion rather than the practitioner’s belief system. Compare the patient’s sleep behaviors against intake behaviors to create a rheostat that measures change. Periodic measurements of pupil dilation, cortical movements, apnea levels, breath tones, and normal body jerking essentially depict suggestive opportunities. Avoid touching during hypnotic suggestion, or the treatment is no longer hypnotherapy.
Whether or not somnambulistic sleep or sleeping with eyes open occurs, is insignificant. Normal is only comparable to the difference in behavior patterns from one period to another in the same individual. Left and the right hemispheric states of normal must be calculated individually first, synchronizing later, and simultaneously throughout states of being awake under normal sets of circumstances differentiated by the responses against measurable resistance during various phases of hypnosis through scientific mental charting. Thus the more experience the practitioner has, the more likely the suggestions will be timely effective. Repetitive suggestion to the ascending reticular system (“ARS”), the hierarchy of messaging patterns regulated and allocated by and through the limbic system disseminating communication of deciphered sleep into the hypothrombolic system opens the possibilities to regulate heart-beat, drop blood pressure, and suggest elimination of apneas, addictions, and in particular sexual deviant obsessions.
Essential importance is that the patient believes while in deep sleep that all that is being guided through hypnosis is of free will toward deep desires. Particular subliminal suggestions create various responses measurable through homework assignments, i.e., eliminating a twitch through the rehearsal of some simple physical motion. Here the practitioner needs to challenge the progress through use of habit reversal training (“HRT”). Ascertaining the point in memory when a habit developed makes it all possible to work backward from that point working to eradicate the habit. Test to determine if the patient is faking sleep through observation of pupil dilation. Simply suggest a blink upon a previously suggested number within a count. Therapeutically it is necessary to fake back, administering every vocal confidence of deliberate control whence the target number is suggested, i.e., one to five. Begin to rule out the obvious by evaluating whether or not the patient is suffering other illnesses at deeper levels?
Biophysiopsychological modification of behavior patterns may now begin in a willing patient/subject. Theoretically, it would be possible to use similar methodology in an unwilling patient, too. Verbalization efforts have nothing to do with words. It is the tonality of the suggestion that effectuates medicinal treatment. Once a command is suggested shifting toward a positivity tone through picturesque speech will open the patient’s conscious from the subconscious where the suggestion has now been planted.
While guiding the patient up from deep trance seize the opportunity to observe normal behavioral patterns. Create a rheostat control dialing magnitude across the top of a subliminally suggested hypno-sin wave, while setting amplitude measurements from breath to breath. Develop a sleep level device controlled specifically through suggestion. Each visit is less wasted on breaking down resistance because sleep is now measured as a visualized realizable objective. In other words, once the patient visualizes the control panel sleep induction will be nearly immediate.
It is theoretically possible to treat a patient only once to eliminate the patient’s complaint, though not likely1. Memory triggers may be evoked in one session, i.e., a safe combination. Realistically, however six months of dedicated submission to mental health hypnotherapy is prudent based upon weekly suggestions in modifying mild to moderate behavioral or obsessive disorders. Particular disorders will require psychotherapy, psychiatry, medical treatment, and/or cognitive therapy depending upon assessment and diagnosis, which are the most important areas of every good treatment plan. Build a confidence with the patient by assuming full control to empower positive results.
