Not everybody can be hypnotized, either, justly because of the requirement for the subject to surrender control to the therapist. The benefits can be huge, like being able to face the day, remaining calm through a difficult procedure, and, certainly, the reduced need for chemical relief. Patients in chemo often become nauseated on arrival for their appointments, -before- the treatment has started, definitely a psychosomatic response and controllable.<br /><br />thanks, steven, I just wish I had had time to go through and make more significant structural changes. I don't think there's any money in it (never was from the last one), but it counts for brownie points in the annual academic count-up.<br />Not my bike! Meerly seen through a random fence on my way to the flea market Sunday.<br /><br />Cindy - since Barry meditates, I think he's onto it. Anyway he visits here, and if he's interested he'll act on that. I'm uncomfortable about saying 'you should try this or that', because I'm sure there are many, many people offering their two cents every day. My PhD is in genetics, not psychology!NanUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11596765792663269178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434099172039136838.post-63185029299516646762009-09-15T23:25:38.925+02:002009-09-15T23:25:38.925+02:00hey nanu - good for you for toughing it out and pu...hey nanu - good for you for toughing it out and pushing through the grammar mines! i bet you're a better person for it - or something! right?!!! have a peaceful evening. if there's money involved, cash the cheque asap!!! steven<br />p.s. ouch!! for the bike.stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434099172039136838.post-101163074185901702009-09-15T19:55:29.525+02:002009-09-15T19:55:29.525+02:00Sounds interesting.

Hypnosis has a bad reputation from the "You are getting sleepy" kind of images that jump to mind when you hear the word, not to mention the awful caberet shows with people acting insane for the amusement of others, so I'd say there's a resistance to it from all that. The benefits you describe sound potent enough to make it worth while, but it's still a difficult one, philosophically, allowing an outsider to reprogram your thoughts and reactions, and because it's so mysterious (the brain) and how it works. I guess the important thing is that it works, and if it does it's probably less questionable than using a cocktail of drugs to achieve the same result. As I said at the start - interesting.Niamh Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519443787482685320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434099172039136838.post-23225179897853159122009-09-15T19:36:03.523+02:002009-09-15T19:36:03.523+02:00Hmmmm, definitely food for thought.
