  2. INTEGRATIVE TRADITIONAL CLINICAL HYPNOSIS HISTORICAL OVERVIEW FROM ARCHAIC TO MODERN HYPNOSIS THEORETICAL INFLUENCES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF CLINICAL HYPNOSIS

  3. Shamanic Healing Direct Suggestion: Mesmer Charcot Folk & Fairy Tales Conditioning: Pavlov Existentialism: Kierkegaard Sartre Frankl Visualization, metaphor & indirect suggestion Structuralism: Wundt Psycho- Analysis Jungian & Adlerian psychology Gestalt Visualization, metaphor & indirect suggestion Direct suggestion Cognitive behavioural strategies Ericksonian NLP Psychodynamic approaches hypnoanalysis

  4. SHAMANIC HEALING • Any discussion • Of the archaic origins of hypnosis must start with Shamanic healing. • All cultures have made use of some form of ritual healing by shamans or traditional healers. In the literature such rituals appear to largely comprise of direct suggestion. It is however, clear, that they also contained elements of symbolic and/or direct indirect suggestion. These rituals were assumed to stimulate subconscious healing energies within the patient, thus leading to healing. • As body-mind medicine and quantum theory (as opposed to Cartesian-Newtonian approaches) has developed, however, it became increasingly evident that a spiritual component to healing, which any form of shamanic ritual has at it’s core, must also be considered.

  5. DEVELOPMENT OF CLINICAL HYPNOSIS • Many other theorists and practitioners can be credited with influencing the development of the practical utilisation of hypnosis in healing, and the theoretical underpinnings of clinical hypnosis. • The father of scientific, practical, directive hypnosis is usually considered to be Frans Mesmer, who developed the theory of animal magnetism. He postulated that healing took place as the result of the flow of animal magnetism

  6. FAIRY TALES • Another area in which archaic influences of indirect suggestion can be found, is in fairy and folk tales, and fables. Bruno Bettelheim (l075) has examined the psychoanalytic aspects of fairy tales and their impact on child development. • The story is told of a young child, many years ago, about to undergo a dental procedure without anaesthetic. While the dental procedure was being carried out, the child’s father told him a story. He became so engrossed in the story, that he was totally oblivious to the work of the dentist. According to this story, the child’s name was Grimm, and the story was Snow White – apparently the origin of the Grimm fairy tales.

  7. THEORIES OF HYPNOSIS • Hypnosis as a trance or sleep state Related to relaxation and sleep As contemplative meditation • Physiological theories of hypnosis Partial cortical inhibition Primitive psycho-physiological state Neurological response of the hippocampus

SECTION 2 • TREATMENT PLANNING & STRATEGY SELECTION IN HYPNOTHERAPY (CONT.) • Lateral and Vertical Cognitive and Affective Integration • Intelligence is the ability to “integrate” information into “structure” of meaning.

  31. SECTION 12 • HYPNOANALYTIC TECHNIQUES • Introduction to the use of Hypnoanalytical Techniques in Traditional Clinical Hypnosis. • The purpose of hypnoanalysis is to determine cause. The cause of any problem lies within the memory. Memory is essentially a database of the cause-effect cascade. • Cause has two components: • The informal component (the five senses structured in modalities and submodalities) • T he energy component (as positive and negative emotion)

  32. SECTION 12 • HYPNOANALYTIC TECHNIQUES (CONT.) • The hypnoanalytical techniques that can be used to transgress the barrier, can be: • Regression: by • Either the affect bridge approach (the most effective way) or • By following the informational cascades by a specific modality, e.g. • visual (television screen techniques) • auditory (“Become aware of the voice”, etc.) • kinaesthetic (“Allow the feeling of tightness to take you back,” etc.)

  33. SECTION 12 • HYPNOANALYTIC TECHNIQUES (CONT.) • The hypnoanalytical techniques that can be used to transgress the barrier, can be (cont.): • Automatic writing: A very effective technique to access information. • The use of metaphors, etc. • Guided and spontaneous imagery: • To create a fantasy of the “ideal you” to represent the ideal self. • the concept of the “Healer within” as an imagery

  34. SECTION 13 • DEALING WITH RESISTANCE AND TRANSFERENCE • Managing Resistance To Therapy • Causes of resistance Over-anxiety and fear of failure. Fear of the hypnotic state itself. Inadequate preparation before induction. • Defiance of authority and failure to establish rapport. • Fluctuating attention. • Need to prove superiority. • Physical discomfort. • Dislike of the method of induction employed. • Uncertainty on the part of the therapist. • Poor motivation and expectancy. • Fear of discovery. • Secondary gain.

  41. SECTION 20 RESEARCH IN TRADITIONAL CLINICAL HYPNOSIS

  42. SECTION 21 SCRIPTS WORKING WITH GUILT I would like to speak to you today about sin....and guilt...and forgiveness...Now the interesting thing about sin...is that we’ve changed the meaning of the word lover time...If one returns to the original Hebrew texts...the early Hebrew texts...one finds that the word used for sin translates as “stupid”...It translates as meaning “not wise enough to have done otherwise”..but somehow...somewhere along the line we’ve shifted that meaning ...so that sin has come to mean ..evil..or wicked...or bad...and there is a big difference between being stupid ....and being evil... And that shift in meaning has had an unintended and tragic consequence...in that it has taken a very valuable resource that we have..and turned it into a vehicle of incredible destructiveness..because guilt was intended to be very valuable...and very useful...and very helpful...Guilt is meant to act as a sort of an early warning system...it is meant to be a vehicle assisting us to learn not to be stupid...to learn to become wise……

  43. SECTION 21 SCRIPTS (CONT.) THE LOVE CYCLE From the very earliest times...from way before we’re born...after we have been born...as children...and even as adults ..we have FOUR basic needs --- FOUR things that we need in order to survive. The first thing we need ...is oxygen. The 2nd thing we need...is food. The 3rd thing we need ...is warmth – physical warmth. The final thing that we need...is LOVE – emotional warmth...without any one of these FOUR basic needs...we can die. Now everybody knows and accepts without question that if you don’t have oxygen...you can die...that if you don’t have food...you can die...and...that if you don’t have warmth...you can also die. BUT what many people don’t realise...is that if you don’t have love...you CAN ALSO DIE…..

  44. SECTION 21 SCRIPTS (CONT.) THE ROAD OF YOUR LIFE As you sleep more & more deeply...deeper & deeper..you can dream a dream..you can dream that ..as you sleep more & more deeply ..you become lighter & lighter..becoming lighter & lighter...as you sleep more and more deeply...until you are sleeping so deeply...that you have become so light...that it begins to seem inevitable that..at some stage...you must simply drift away..and that experience seems so pleasant..so spontaneous...so enjoyable ..that when it actually happens...it comes as no surprise…..

  45. SECTION 21 • SCRIPTS (CONT.) • FORGETTING • Sometimes we forget to remember and sometimes we remember to forget. It may be a good idea to remember to forget, instead of forgetting to remember, because otherwise one may not remember whether one has forgotten to remember, or whether one has remembered to forget. It is definitely better to remember to forget consciously, what needs to be remembered subconsciously, so that the subconscious feels comfortable to remember and the conscious feels comfortable to forget, what needs not to be remembered”
