Does anyone have good resources on hypnosis, especially self-hypnosis? I’m mostly looking for how-tos but effectiveness research and theoretical grounding are also welcome.
“Monsters & Magical Sticks: There’s No Such Thing As Hypnosis?” is a fine book for explaining what hypnosis is.
The recurring punchline is that there’s no Hypnosis but there are hypnotic phenomena. Being a good hypnotist is basically about using a bunch of hypnotic phenomena to go where you want to go.
Framing an interaction is something very important. A hypnosis therapist I know says that the hypnosis sessions for quitting smoking begins with the call.
The patient calls to make an appointment. He answers and asks whether the person has made a decision to quit smoking. If the patient says “no” he tells the patient to call again once he made the decision.
Hypnotherapist do a lot of stuff like this.
