  22. The Oldest Reference • Habakkuk 2: 2-4 • Write down the vision clearly upon the tablets so that one can read it readily. For this vision still has its time, presses on to fulfillment, and will not disappoint; If it delays, wait for it, it will surely come, it will not be late. • The rash one has no integrity; but the just one because of his faith, shall live.

  23. Goal Setting • The harder the (accepted) goal, the higher the performance. Locke, E. A., & Latham, G. P. 1990. A theory of goal setting & task performance. Prentice Hall.

  24. Steps of Goal Setting • Identify Your Goal • Set a Deadline for Achieving Your Goal • List the Obstacles to Overcome • Identify People and Groups to Work With • Identify Skills/Knowledge Required • Develop Your Plan of Action • Identify Your Benefits and Rewards (Zig Ziglar)

  25. Goal Setting Example • Visible Harvard • Difficult • Specific • Quantifiable • Time

  26. Goal Setting Example • SAT • Quantitative Verbal • 99% 95% (Room For Improvement) • Goal/Big Picture vs. Steps Toward the Goal • 3,000 Words vs. 10 Words/Day • One Day: Study 10 Words • 30 Days: 300 Words • 10 Months: 3,000 Words

  27. Goal Setting Example • Quantitative Verbal • 99% 95% • 91%99% • 98% 99% and-- • Pray and Get All the Help You Can Find

  28. Power of Perseverance • Lee Iacocca (1984): I think that if I keep working at this and want it bad enough, I can have it. It’s call perseverance.

  29. Power of Positive Suggestion • Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times. • Colonel Sanders failed 1,009 times. • Average Millionaires failed 17 times. • How many times have you tried to achieve your goals?

  30. Power of Positive Suggestion • Super Bowl XXIV--Goals and Steps: • Winning the Super Bowl, • Touchdown, • First Down, • Complete the Pass, (long vs short), • Small Success Leads to Total Success. • MVP and Self-Esteem

  31. This Is Your Super Bowl • Super Bowl XXIV • San Francisco 13 14 14 14------55 • Denver 3 0 7 0------10 • Montana had 13 Consecutive passes. • Montana completed 22 out of 29 passes. • Elway completed 10 out of 26 passes.

  32. MVP and Your Success Montana vs. Elway Which person did not shave his face? Self-Esteem Self-Esteem x Effort = Success Your Mind x Your Body = Total Success

  33. Hypnosis • Hypnosis is a systematic procedure for altering consciousness (Hilgard, 1975).

  34. Hypnosis and Meditation • Hypnosis is different from Meditation. • Meditation involves radically changing the nature of outside stimulation by: • Blocking it out • Make it impossible to comprehend

  35. Hypnosis and Meditation • Both Hypnosis and Meditation will: • Produce a state qualitatively different from normal waking consciousness. • Apply some manipulation of sensory input directly through suggestions • Have the capacity to leave people feeling better

  36. Hypnosis and Sleep • EEG patterns in sleep and wakefulness: • Awake, Drowsy, Sleep 1, 2, 3, and REM • During Hypnosis (Trance), you are not sleeping. • Drowsy--Alpha waves, 7 - 12/sec. • Just about to fall sleep

  37. 1600s, humans could be magnetized 1700s, Franz Mesmer studied animal magnetism (Mesmerized) 1842, painless amputated a leg 1880s, Freud learned hypnosis in France late 19th century, French, Charcot, study hypnosis to treat abnormal behavior 1920s & 1930s, Hull, attempted to study hypnosis with the first solidly scientific approach History

  38. E.R. Hilgard, founder, director of 1st hypnosis research labs, Stanford Univ. 1978 1/3 American dental and medical schools offering courses in hypnosis -twice as many as 1974 Experts emphasize hypnosis is not for all persons or problems. It takes a well trained specialist to know when and how to use it properly. History

  39. A System of Medical Hypnosis • A. Meares (1964). President International Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis. • Braid, coined the word “hypnotism” from the Greek word hypnos (sleep) in 1841.

  40. A System of Medical Hypnosis • The nature of suggestion: Logical, Uncritical • An easy suggestion does not conflict with a logical appraisement of the situation. • Suggestion vs. Command/Request • The response to a command or a request is Conscious, whereas the response to a suggestion is uncritical and is not consciously evaluated

  41. A System of Medical Hypnosis • We hypnotize our patients by the process of suggestion. • Two major ingredients: • Relaxation/Concentration • Suggestion

  42. Concentration • You hear nothing but my voice/words. • Speak: 200 words/min. • Think: 800 words/min. • Can you think of something else while listening to a lecture? • Is your mind wondering around afar?

  43. Factors Influencing Suggestion • Affective Relationship • Prestige • Nonverbal Communication • Facilitation • The acceptance of one suggestion always aids to the acceptance of another suggestion.

  44. Factors Influencing Suggestion • Grading • Suggestions are accepted more readily if they are graded as to difficulty of acceptance. • Expectancy • When the patient is in a state of expectancy he/she makes suggestions more easily. • Drugs

  45. Suggestibility 1. Individual Differences 2. Tense, Anxious, Restless (Contact Lenses, Needs, Beliefs, Control) 3. Skill & Experience of the Therapist 4. Personality of the Therapist 5. Culture

  46. Suggestibility 6. Education 7. Degree of Sophistication of the Patient 8. Unconscious Defense Mechanisms (well adjusted emotionally) 9. Fatigue 10. Drugs

  47. Suggestibility 11. The Nature of the Suggestion 12. The State of Rapport 13. The Acceptance of Previous Suggestions 14. The Relative Difficulty of Acceptance of the Present Suggestion 15. Grading

  48. The Phenomena of Hypnosis I. Increased Suggestibility As they became more deeply hypnotized, they are able to accept more difficult suggestions. e.g., move limbs, see things behave as if they were in imaginary situations

  49. The Phenomena of Hypnosis II. Secondary Phenomena 1. Hypnotic Rapport He comes to a merge his identity with that of the hypnotist. Automatic Obedience

  50. The Phenomena of Hypnosis 2. Hypnotic Sleep Induced by suggestions of relaxation and sleep Hypnotic Sleep vs. Normal Sleep(EEG) 3. Amnesia Spontaneous Amnesia vs. Suggested Amnesia
