However, verbal confusion can be a powerful way of opening the mind to a direct suggestion: Please don’t tip your smoking clients back or try the famous confusing ‘Ericksonian handshake’ on your next depressed patient. People totally confused by the stage hypnotist unexpectedly tipping them backwards become immensely suggestible. When you have no idea what is happening, and therefore what is going to happen next, you become open to suggestion.

“Yes, you are absolutely right! (surprising agreement)… Your life isn’t worth living… the way you’ve been living it up to now… and that’s why we are going to start making positive changes right this instant…”( suggestion)įor more technique demonstration videos, see Uncommon Practitioners TV 2. What will capture this person’s attention long enough for a genuinely fresh idea to settle undisturbed?Īppearing to agree with any negative statements your client makes can cause such startled surprise as to make them temporarily open to new therapeutic ideas. They’ve heard all the advice, had all the cognitive reframes, sat through all the fancy techniques, been to more therapists than Elizabeth Taylor’s had husbands, and know more psychobabble than you do. So here’s a few pointers to help you incorporate surprise as part of your therapeutic approach. Once you understand the principle of shock (technically, it fires the brain’s ‘orientation response’, instantly increasing suggestibility), you can use it creatively.Shock inductions can work as well as deep relaxation. The door doesn’t need to be open very long for the wet sponge to hit home. The ‘eyes wide and glassy’ look, lasting only a couple of seconds, may be just as receptive a state for new ideas to take root as its thirty minute ‘eyes closed in relaxation’ cousin. Hypnosis may not look like ‘hypnosis’.I’m just illustrating a couple of points, which are: Three months later, the wife was pregnant. Now, why in hell don’t you go f**k for fun, and pray to the devil she isn’t knocked up for at least three months! Now please leave!”

“You have been engaged in marital union with full physiological concomitants to fulfill your philoprogenitive desires. Somewhat bemused, the couple agreed.Įrickson then had them grasp the arms of the chair, ready to receive their shock therapy (expectation is a powerful prelude to hypnosis). If they agreed to this, they must further agree that, following their shock, they must return home in complete silence, so that the effects of the shock would not be diluted. They described how they had failed to produce children, how ‘marital union’ with ‘full physiological concomitants to fulfill our philoprogenitive desires’ had ‘failed to produce offspring’.Īs Erickson recorded: “They spoke only in polysyllabic words, and whenever possible used clinical medical terms.”Īfter listening to their account, Erickson said he believed that they could be cured by shock therapy. They were very proper, articulate, college professors, very serious.
Warning: What you’re about to read may shock you! What did he just say?Ī young couple who couldn’t conceive came to see the great Dr Erickson. The great Dr Milton Erickson describes how he sometimes used shock to induce altered (and more suggestible) states of consciousness within his patients. We can get people to focus by gently lulling them into deep calm (relaxation) or we can use other ways.
