Hello Keith , your totally right , i remember i had this engineer , who i used the dave elman technique with and when it came to counting the numbers backward, he went like 100 , 99 ,98 ,97 ,96 , etc.. i tried many times to tell him to relax and allow those numbers to fade away but he kept counting , i told him Jerry’s famous sentence “those numbers were controling you and control them” still nothing happened , so i thought i’ll do the eye lock again , so i gave him my suggestions , he talked and said i can open my eyes , i wished at that point i can crack his head , so i told him to imagin a window at the top of his brain opend up to the sky , and he did now try to f$#% open your eyes you’ll find it f$## hard to do so , he went like ahhhhh internally and started to give me signals hes in trance , i deepened the trance like three of four time with different approach everytime , is it because i have troubles giving suggestions or its because he still has fears or hes not following my suggestions ?

waiting for your reply.

thanks in advance . another question how can i dissapear and suggest that he will not be able to see me ? like stage hypnotists

Yours,

Nihad – the hypnotist

I’ve tried different things with the numbers. I’ve read different approaches. Some count up because they want to avoid the idea of counting from 100 all the way down. Some object to that because most people think counting down fits better with going “deeper” into trance. I’ve done quite a bit with doing the alphabet backwards as it makes it easier to forget. Most people aren’t as used to going through the alphabet backwards.

I’ve come to the conclusion though–we shouldn’t necessarily make it something they’d struggle to do consciously. The reason–false somnambulism, or “aphasia ” as it was called by Dave Elman. It’s when someone is very relaxed and they don’t feel like saying the numbers (or letters as in my modified Elman induction, or whatever). In other words, no amnesia but they stop counting. If we make their task something difficult, it’s possible we’ll get that false somnambulism more frequently. After all, when you’re very relaxed, you don’t feel like trying to subtract 3 from 232 or figuring out what letter comes before “v”.

If you don’t get true somnambulism with an Elman style induction, you’re not much better off than doing a progressive relaxation induction. That’s why I’ve moved away from making the amnesia task more involved.

I usually start with a larger number than 100, something like 300, it makes the task seem daunting, I do reductions of more than 1 also. So you start at 300 and count back in increments of 3. 300, 297, 294, 291… the disappear suggestion comes easier.

I always have the client start with the number one and let them kn ow that as they count these are special numbers that just disappear into nothing nothing nothing and in a few numbers they will all be gone into nothing nothing nothing…

Starting at 100 or 99 encourages some people to count all the way to 0 before the numbers are gone.

In total agreement Keith. I usually say something to the effect that over the years we all have temporarily forgetten many things that just were unimportant, just like these numbers are unimportant now. 99 — growing dim and distant until it just totally disappears as it’s unimportant right now. (key words here: right now)

ALWAYS PUT BACK WHAT HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY. You know for sure we were taught that well.

For demos I always use the words: ALL SUGGESTIONS ARE HEREBY REMOVED EXCEPT FOR ANY THAT MAY BE OF THERAPEUTIC VALUE and then emerge.
