9th DRP - Lesson 2

9th DRP - Lesson 2

by Dustin Box

​Day 1

​ In the early 19th century, James Braid developed a form of hypnotic induction using eye fatigue to induce a hypnotic trance. In Braid's model, the hypnotist held a shiny object slightly above the the subject's eye level while suggesting the subject was "getting very, very sleepy" and that their eyelids were "getting very, very heavy." With a steady gaze on an object above eye level and continuous suggestions (sleep talk), the subject's eyelids did get heavy and the subject did get sleepy.

​Day 1 (cont.)

​ Using increasingly demanding suggestions, the subject was asked to concentrate on small changes in the body or the environment and told to go to an even deeper and more relaxed sleep. Once in the altered state, the subject acted, perceived, thought, and felt according to the hypnotist's suggestions. The hypnotized person accepted the instructions of a hypnotist much the way a dreaming person accepts strange events in a dream. This allowed the hypnotist to suggest behaviors or perceptions that otherwise would not occur. Classic examples are taking a bite of an onion but interpreting it as an apple, accepting the suggestion that one's arm is paralyzed, or not experiencing severe pain.

​Day 1 (cont.)

​ While hypnotized, people will respond to suggestions that they see things that are not there and do not see things that are there. Under hypnotic suggestion, people will remember long forgotten events, recall events that did not happen, and forget events that really happened (posthypnotic amnesia). Under deep hypnosis, suggestions can be issued for later execution (posthypnotic suggestion). Under hypnosis, subjects have gone temporarily deaf, undergone surgery without anesthesia, and have been said to "regress" to a younger are.
