I could not get reply to work regarding Marilyn's post. It would seem that the doctor is more than senile. First a hynotist does not need to use any pendulum. This is something done by stage hynotist to add drama. The guy is sick and should be reported as such and removed from practise. There are 4 stages or brain waves that we are in at any one time. From being wide awake and very alert to sound asleep. Beta is the first stage and you are using your brain in its most wakeful stage. When you are learning a new task, you are usually in this stage. When you day dream you are usually in the next stage Alpha. And at this stage you are hynotised either by another or by your self. A good hynotist wants you here, just relaxed and in that state you can tap into the subconcious and take minor instructions from the hynotist who should be like a coach. The coach has to be very careful at this stage in what questions or instructions he gives. For example if you are getting them to remember something in childhood, then you tell them to go to age X and then ask them what is happening, etc, etc. You don't ask did your mother hit you, even if that is what you want to find out. The person can go down into delta and theta, which are normal sleep stages but under hynosis they are awake and not asleep. A good stage hynosist can get these people to quack like a duck etc. You can also put ideas into their heads by your questions that are false memories. That is why only vidioed hynotic sessions should ever be used in court, so it can be judged if this is a true memory or a planted idea. This is also particularly important in questioning children because they are just normally in alpha a lot of the time or hynotised and so easy to implant ideas by the questions. Now a hint to parents. When you call a kid who is playing a game like a computer game and they say they did not hear. They didn't hear. They have hynotised themselves and you don't hear outside things, like mother calling. I can only be hynotised to alpha, as most people. I listened to a tape and was amazed at the noise in the room that I had not heard. It was done in a private home and the kitchen was just a bar away. His wife had come in and started cooking and she was one noisy cook banging pots and pans and chopping etc. And I did not hear a word of it until I listened to the tape. I would not have questioned the thing about the woman being tried to be hynotised against her will, if I had known about the medallian. That tecnique is for the movies. Not for a professional hynotist. Incidently a good hynotist also hynotises themselves, along with the client. And a hynotiesed coach can work just fine. The biggest problem with hynosis is that the client may go asleep instead. You hope they do not start off tired or they have a great sleep instead. Yes there are some really bad therapists out there but most are OK. I even think there is a place for shock therapy. But used only rarely and as a last ditch. It sometimes cures when nothing else will. But as far as I know, no one has found out yet how it works. But if that is the first thing out of the box they want to do run like hell. They was some dufis where I live that just routinely shocked his patients. He should have had his license pulled and I think maybe he did or was sued or something.
