Fable Goodman pour faciliier la dissociation et l'aprofondissement

"if your mind wants  to wander , you are free to let it wander... and if it doesn't want to wander then it doesn't have to... In other words, you are allowing your mind to do whatever it wants to do...  whatever it needs to do... allowing yourself to relax mentally in exactly the same way that you are allowing yourself to relax physically... and because you are now relaxing both mentally and physically...  so you are able to let go just that little bit more, and drift even deeper....."

Autohypnose et soins dentaires

Une petite procedure en anglais, mais facile a interpreter:



Self-Hypnosis Induction Script
TRANCE INDUCTION
You are about to enjoy a very pleasant and very beneficial experience.
  • First, be sure that you will not be disturbed
  • Second, remove your shoes or any apparel that will interfere with your comfort in any way
  • Third, stretch out on your back with your legs separated so that no parts of your calves or your thighs are touching
    • Separate your feet at least 8 to 10 inches, with your arms extended loosely and limply alongside your body
    • Palms facing downward, with your fingers limply outstretched
Now once we begin, you can help most by remaining quiet and passive.
Our first goal is for you to become unaware of your body. You can best achieve that goal by avoiding movement.
The first thing that I want you to do is to fix your eyes on a spot on the wall or on the ceiling. Pick out a spot and stare at that spot without moving a muscle.
  • Now take a deep breath and fill up your lungs.
Exhale slowly. Sleep now!
  • Now a second and even deeper breath. Take in all of the air that your lungs can hold.
    Exhale slowly.
    Sleep now!
  • And now a third deep breath.
Exhale. Sleep now!
Now let your eye lids close down. And let each muscle and nerve begin to grow loose and limp and relaxed.
Let all of your care and tensions begin to fade away. You are now relaxing more with each sound that you hear. And with each easy breath that you take, you are going deeper into drowseeey relaxation.
I am going to count from 10 down to 1. And as I do, I want you to picture and imagine that you are walking down a flight of steps. With each number that I count, the quality of your deep relaxation becomes more profound and more intense. When I reach the count of one, you will then be aware that you are enjoying a very pleasant state of relaxation.
  • Number 10. We take the first step downward. Every muscle and every nerve begins to grow loose and limp and relaxed
  • Number 9. This wave of relaxation begins to spread all across your body
  • Number 8. You are relaxing more with each easy breath that you take. With each sound that you hear, you are going deeper in drowsy relaxation
  • Number 7. Every muscle and every nerve, just loose and limp and lazy
  • Number 6: You are moving down toward a new and deeper level of hypnotic relaxation
  • Number 5. You are half way down, and when I reach the count of 1 I’ll say the words “sleep deeply”. You will then be aware that you are more deeply relaxed than ever before
  • Number 4. Each muscle and nerve lets loose, relaxing, you are drifting down. Deeper and deeper asleep
  • Number 3. Going down. Deeper in drowsy relaxation
  • Number 2. On the next number, I will say the words “Sleep deeply.” When I do, you will then be aware that you are enjoying a very profound state of hypnotic relaxation
  • Number 1. SLEEP DEEPLY!
Now just relax and go deeper into hypnosis.
You have relaxed your body. You have relaxed your mind.
In a moment, I am going to help relax your mind further. I will count from five down to one. As I do, your eyelids lock so tightly closed that the more you try to open them, the tighter they are locking closed.
  • Five. Your eyes are pressing down tightly
  • Four. Pressing down and sealing shut
  • Three. Sealing as if they were glued
  • Two. They are locked. The more you try to open them now, the tighter they are locking closed
  • One. Try to open your eyelids now and find them locking tighter and tighter
Pause 3 seconds
  • All right, that’s fine. Now, stop trying and just relax and go deeper now.
You have relaxed your body. You have relaxed your mind.
At this point, your subconscious mind is open and highly responsive to all good, powerful, creative and beneficial ideas and instructions.
Each of these ideas that you are about to hear, are the truth about your deepest nature. They represent your basic values and your cherished goals.
These ideas reflect your intense desire for autonomy, inner peace and self-mastery. These ideas now make a deep, permanent impression on your creative subconscious mind.
These ideas take root in the fertile soil of your deepest being, where they sprout and continue to grow, and expand, and permeate every part of you.
SUGGESTIONS

TRANCE TERMINATION
You are rapidly moving toward the satisfaction of your deepest needs and the realisation of your highest goals. And so be it!
For each of these ideas is now making a vivid, deep and permanent impression on your subconscious mind.
And from this time forward, with each passing day, you become more and more aware of a wonderful feeling of personal confidence.
As you realise that each day brings you one step closer to your goals. Each day is a vital step in your problem solving. In changing your behaviour. In moving toward your highest potential.
So that you now begin to enjoy a fuller, a richer and a more expressive life.

Now, I will bring you back out of hypnosis. I am going to slowly count from one to five, and then I’ll say “fully aware.”
At the count of five, please let your eye lids open and you are then: calm, rested, refreshed, and relaxed. Fully aware. Feeling good in every way.
All right.
  • One, slowly, calmly, easily, gently, you are returning to your full awareness once again
  • Two, each muscle and nerve in your body is loose and limp and relaxed, and you feel wonderfully good
  • Three, from head to toe you are feeling perfect in every way. Physically perfect, mentally perfect, emotionally calm and serene
  • On number four, your eyes begin to feel sparkling clear, just as though they were bathed in cold spring water. On the next number I count, eyelids open, fully aware, feeling calm, rested, refreshed, relaxed, invigorated and full of energy
  • Number five, you are fully aware now, eyelids open. Take in a deep breath, fill up your lungs and stretch!

Hypnose et bruxisme

Ce n'est pas si souvent  qu'une consoeur est à l'honneur.
Kay F. Thompson, DDS: Tres proche d'Ericksson, tombée en hypnose presque par hasard elle a fait une carrière bien particulière pour une dentiste;)


Autohypnosis for Bruxism

by Kay F. Thompson, DDS
In today’s world there is an increase in all kinds and sources of stress. Individuals deal with stress in the ways they have been taught: “Keep a stiff upper lip”, “Hold on tight”, “Grin and bear it”, “Get a grip!” and “Bite the bullet”. All of these clichés admonish the individuals to maintain tension and tight control to get through the stressful situation. Frequently this control is maintained by gritting their teeth or clenching their jaws, both of which, if prolonged, can result in an extremely painful response.
Symptom substitution
For individuals who display bruxism and the resultant temporo-mandibular dysfunction, sometimes working with them and teaching them to utilize autohypnosis can be enough to alter this stress response. Not only is it a reframing, it is symptom substitution, by offering a “good” response for the “bad” one they acquired.
The first thing I am interested in doing is validating the behavior of the patients. I explain that the response that they developed was an appropriate one at the time at which they developed it. It was the only safe way they could respond to the situation. In body language, it may have been their effort to “bite back words” or “swallow insults”, when they had a teacher, employer, or relative who would berate them in a circumstance where they were not able to speak out in their own defense, or retaliate.
It may also have been a response to pressure put on them when someone they loved was sick, and the patients wished to hide their emotions. They learned to protect themselves by grinding their teeth or clenching their jaws, generally during their sleep. This behavior then generalized into a learned response, or habit, to any type of stress. Now, I explain to them, I am going to teach them how to change that habit pattern.
Teaching autohypnosis
I teach the patients how to go into trance. Then they learn how to utilize autohypnosis. I tell them the following, while they are in trance: “This stress response habit uses energy in a negative way. We are going to convert this negative energy, this destructive energy, into a positive, constructive energy. Every time that your teeth come together to grind, that will be the signal for that negative, destructive energy to run from your jaw, down through your neck, across your shoulder, down through your arm and into your hand, where you will clench your fist to convert that negative energy into a positive, constructive energy.” I repeat that message.
Next, to help effect that change and motivate them, I provide a logical reason why it is beneficial for them to do this. With someone who plays golf, it is to improve their golf swing. For a tennis player, it is a way to improve their backhand. With an older woman who is not interested in exercise or sports, this isometric exercise is a way to keep the upper arm from getting fat and flabby. These are all designed to motivate the individual.
Taking it outside the office
I add to the instructions by giving them something to squeeze in their hand, such as a piece of flexible plastic pipe, a hand exerciser, or a piece of foam rubber. They are instructed that when they go to bed they are to hold this item in their hand, to encourage them to convert their negative energy into positive energy. (The same instructions regarding holding the exerciser would apply even if they are daytime “clenchers”.)
The patients are reassured that they will sleep well, but they will squeeze their exerciser on instructions from the “back of their mind” or unconscious while they are asleep, and that they need not awaken to make the energy transfer. Since the habit originates in the unconscious and they cannot control it consciously, they have no trouble accepting that rationale. As the exercise begins to be effective, they will also comment on the relief in their jaws in the morning, and the tired feeling in their hand.
To end the appointment, I have the patients rehearse their assignment, to make sure we both understand the procedure. I see them after a couple of weeks to discuss their progress. I expect that most people will show significant improvement and pain relief in three appointments if this is truly a retained learned behavioral response.
Referral to psychological counseling
If the problem is a manifestation of a deeper psychological symptom, and two or three appointments does not result in a change, then I will suggest to them that it does not seem to be making the difference it should by now. I tell them that I think that possibly there is some additional reason why they are retaining the habit, and ask them if they would be interested in a consultation with my friendly psychologist down the street. Patients appreciate the help you have offered them, and are generally willing to investigate further by making an appointment for the consultation.
One of the common methods of treating bruxism involves making a splint that covers the teeth and is worn at night. This splint reduces the ability to grind and abrade the teeth, but does not preclude the activity itself. The patient often will wear through the splint and have to have a new one made, whether it is a soft and pliable one or a hard plastic one. It does not reduce the grinding behavior, it reduces the detrimental effect of the behavior on the teeth and jaws.
When one is to treat bruxism, one must first make certain that there are no prematurities on the teeth (high spots on teeth or fillings, etc.), which will cause grinding in an effort to “even” the occlusion. It is also appropriate to have radiographs and/or other diagnostic tests to rule out any physiologic causes which should be corrected.. If the grinding continues, it can destroy the temporo-mandibular joint relationship. If there is already severe demonstrable damage to the temporo-mandibular joint, surgery may be necessary to correct the problem. If the surgery does not alleviate the grinding, the pain will continue.
The hypnosis approach is used when physiologic causes have been ruled out or corrected and the bruxism continues. Some of the indications include:
1.) Complaints of jaw soreness and tiredness, especially in the morning.
2.) Headaches and/or earaches with no other cause
3.) The occlusion of the teeth is damaged, and the teeth are physically worn down on the chewing surfaces.
4.) Severe and often radiating pain in any combination of the following: the teeth, jaws, cheeks, head, neck and down the back.
5.) Beginning deterioration of the TM joint.
Who can use this?
Not all patients are willing to accept the fact that stress can have contributed to their pain, nor that they can learn to change that response. Some patients prefer the surgical route as the “simple” physical solution. Many patients are referred by an oral/maxillofacial surgeon who does not feel that surgery is a necessary or appropriate treatment. The majority of patients who are referred or choose autohypnosis as their treatment are successful.
Part of the treatment consists of a complete history, including discussion of the stressors in their life. It is my opinion, with no data to substantiate it since these are clinical patients and not experimental subjects, that often recognition and discussion of the sources of stress make the chance for successful treatment much better. My estimate is that 75-80% of my patients succeed in changing their stress response.
Outcomes that can be expected
The eventual outcome, as reported by the patients, seems to be that as they improve, they gradually cease using the exerciser. Occasionally someone will report to me that they had stopped using it, but then a crisis arose and they felt the stress begin again, so, without bothering to tell anyone, they simply went back to using their exerciser, and the stress reduction capability returned.
One patient who had been quite successful in using the exerciser to reduce his nighttime bruxing was also a “fearful flier.” On one trip from the northeast US to Australia, he dropped the exerciser into his coat pocket as he was leaving for the airport. During a stopover in the Philippines, he called his wife and asked her to let me know that it had been the most pleasant flight he had ever had – he was even able to eat the meals served. He said it was because he used the stress reduction exercise during the flight.
Another patient had been recommended as a potential candidate for surgery since splints had not reduced the pain from bruxing. At the time she was going through a painful separation and divorce, which necessitated her re-entering the job market and worrying about child care. After some discussion of the possible relationship between her bruxism and the stress she was going through, she agreed that they might be related. She learned the autohypnosis/exercise routine and agreed to practice it three times a day as well as during the night. Her headaches were significantly diminished immediately. As she continued practicing the exercise, her jaw pain was eliminated.
Conclusion
This use of hypnosis to reduce/eliminate bruxism is a safe, non-invasive treatment that teaches the individual an acceptable substitute for a painful and potentially damaging behavior.

Quelques liens interessants

Parfois il n'est pas nécessaire de reinventer la roue;) vous trouverez donc juste a droite des liens vers des sites français : un (Pale rider ) très centré sur l'hypnose ericksonienne; l'autre ( street hypnosis ) comme son nom l'indique, porté vers une hypnose très ludique et immédiate.

Dans les deux cas, il y a toujours apprendre.

Ceci aussi :

est très intéressant. Un peu fourre-tout et en anglais; mais comme souvent,

 No pain, no gain;)

A bientôt j'espère..

Elman plus erickson plus Yapko

Voila la fin de mon cycle sur Elman avec une 3° version, tres ericksonienne si on la decripte: beaucoup de ratifications, de l'empilage en bout de yes set; et plus etrangement pas de test de catalepsie des yeux: on suggere la catalepsie des paupieres, mais on ne la verifie pas. pas de test des bras, mais le fractionnement de voigt ( ouverture fermeture des yeux pour approfondir la trance) est bien present.

l'amnesie des nombres est remplacée par la technique d' aprofondissement de Yapko: on sugere que le patient a un 3° œil, un œil interieur, l'œil de son esprit.; et que ce 3° œil va laisser se fermer sa paupier et que son esprit comme son corps va pouvoir se detendre juste aussi totalement aussi vite que le patient le veux bien ; aussi profondement qu'il en a envie .
Si on peut utiliser la technique de Yapko pour un simple aprofondissement, ou sur des patients avec une certaine vison mystique; ellee st interessante a double titre avec l'induction d'elman, car elle participe a la dissociation ( corps /esprit ) et pour le patient semble simplement repliquer ce qu'il a deja fait a udebu t d l'induction, et donc a peu de chance d'etre repoussée. A garder en memoire pour un patient qui n'arriverait pas a effacer les nombres  ( ou le lettres de l'alphabet pour une autre variante ) 

une Elman modifiée,et des videos qui y ressemblent un peu

Elman Induction Script (Adapted)

Just begin by making yourself comfortable. Rest your feet flat on the floor and rest your hands on your lap, or by your side.

Now drop your head forward slightly and roll your eyes up and back as though you were looking toward a point in your forehead. That's a bit of a strain but keep it up. Now, inhale deeply,
filling your lungs all the way up as you continue to look up and back. Pause for
a few seconds. Now keep looking up and allow your eyelids to grow heavy and
close down... as you exhale slowly and patiently. Good, now send a huge wave of
relaxation from the top of your head down to the tip of your toes. Let all of
your muscles turn loose, and limp and wonderfully relaxed... just like a rag
doll.

Now, rest your awareness on those eyelids once again. Even though the eyelids are closed down comfortably already, imagine they are closing down all over again, even more heavy and
tired and lazy than before. Now relax those eyelids right down to the point
where it feels as if they just don't work anymore. When you know you've done
that, make a test and find you've succeeded and they feel as if they're sealing
shut. Push harder against that relaxation and find the harder you try to make
the effort the more lazy and tired and relaxed those eyelids are becoming right
now. Now stop trying, send a wave of relaxation right down into that part of
you that was trying to make the effort. You're eyelids aren't really
sealed shut, it just feels as if they are. That's a good sign, you're
relaxing very deeply.



Now, I'm going to help you to relax even more deeply, and those is how I'm going to do it. In a moment I'll count 1, 2, 3, when I reach the number three you can open your eyes for a second
before I gesture and say the word "sleep." When I say the word
"sleep", just allow your eyelids to close down and find you're going
back, even deeper into hypnosis than before. Beginning now, 1, 2, 3... opening
those eyelids, ready now, "sleep", relaxing much deeper than before,
two times deeper... Good... Once again, 1, 2, 3, opening those eyelids, ready
now, "sleep", relaxing much deeper than before, two times deeper...
Good... One more time now, 1, 2, 3, opening those eyelids, ready now,
"sleep", relaxing much deeper than before, two times deeper again...
Good.

Now you're relaxing the body very deeply, and as you relax the body you're relaxing the mind. Now, I'm going to help you to relax the mind even more deeply and this is how I'm going to do it.
In a moment I want you to begin counting down backwards from 100, counting out
loud, and repeating the words "deeper and deeper" after each number.
Each time you say the words "deeper and deeper", you're doubling the
relaxation of your mind, especially the counting part of your mind. By the time
you've counted just a few of those numbers, to 95 or even 96, you'll find
you've succeeded in relaxing your mind so deeply that you just can't be
bothered even trying to locate those numbers, they've vanished completely,
forgotten from your mind. Start counting now, losing the numbers to relaxation
as you count, beginning now...

[Intersperse suggestions of deepening until subject stops counting.]

That's it. Good. Now relax even more deeply, and as you do so make an effort and try to locate those forgotten numbers and find that you've succeeded, they've faded completely from the mind.
Haven't you?

Enfin une bonne raison d'apprendre l'anglais;)

James Tripp est probablement le theoricien le plus interessant sur l'hypnose actuellement. Et c'est un malin aussi;) ne jamais mettre de coté le marketing quand l'hypnose passe par le net et que des produits sont à la clef.
Pour en revenir au concept " ce n'est pas l'hypnose qui fait que le bras se leve, mais le bras qui se leve fait l'hypnose " son hypothese c'est que l'hypnose est un glissement dans la perception de la realité et que l'idée ou le concept de Transe ne le concerne pas.

Ses démonstrations s'appuient toujours sur de l'hypnose yeux ouverts et sans induction formelle ( Dormez!) donc, pour les fans de conversationnel  ou d'hypnose de rue, c'est un must. En vous rendant sur son site il est tres facile de telecharger un ebook qui developpe tout le concept.

http://www.hypnosiswithouttrance.com/ 


A noter que des notions tres PNL sont fortement integrées: pacing systematique avant leading notamment  Du Derren brown qui s'expliquerait en somme;)

La video que je met en lien  a l'avantage pour nous d'etre sous titrée.

c'est la partie 2. si cela vous interesse de voir comment on peut coller une main sur une table je ne saurais trop vous conseiller de voir aussi le 1 et le 3.

De l'Ericksonien en 7 mots

Parmi les cadeaux de cette fin d'année j'ai reçu une version légèrement modifiée de " Petit traité de manipulation à l'usage des honnêtes gens" que j'avais lu il y a une quinzaine d'années. En dehors d'une relecture agréable et enrichissante , dont beaucoup de choses pourraient etre utile en hypnose, tout au moins pour preparer l'induction, quelques lignes ont attirés mon attention, et la signature n'est pas des moindres: le philosophe  Alain:

"On ne chante pas parce qu'on est heureux; on est heureux parce que l'on chante"

Ce qu'on pourrait traduire par: "ce n'est pas parce qu'on est hypnotisé que le bras se leve, mais c'est parce que le bras se leve qu'on est hypnotisé" .

Tout le principe d'utilisation/ratification de l'hypnose erickssonienne  se retrouve là:  que ce soit le bras droit ou le gauche, qu'il soit lourd ou leger; quand le patient trouve quelque chose de different  et qu'on luit fait prendre conscience de cette difference, il va l'expliquer par son etat d'hypnose.
Ce même etat d'hypnose qui va lui faire admettre tout ce que vous pourrez proposer et qui lui paraitra admissible dans un contexte hypnotique. Et chaque suggestion pourra l'emmener plus loin que la precedente, puisque chacune valide cet etat.

le plus bel exercice sur ce theme et dans la video en dessous. historiquement c'est Stephen brooks qui l'a montré le premier, mais c'est Igor ledochowski a eu l'idée de s'en servir a des fins d'enseignement.

 Notez bien que le cadre est tres defini: un seminaire d'hypnose, donné par une des stars du moment: quand le sujet sassoit il s'attend à etre hypnotisé. la seule chose qu'il ne sait pas c'est comment. Ledochowski va donc simplement resserrer le cadre, en rajoutant 2 phrases magiques:

- Avez vous remarqué cela?  ( "cela" etant absolument n'importe quoi: on laisse au patient trouver ce que " Cela " peut-etre . il se lance donc dans une focalisation interieure, jusqu'a trouver un cela éventuellement mis en lumiere par l'hypnotiseur: "Vous avez remaqué? vous venez de le refaire.")

- que pensez vous que " cela" signifie? ( vu le cadre le patient interprete "cela" comme une entrée en hypnose ) 

il ne reste plus qu'a amplifier et accompagner le phenomene ( dans la video on part d'un minuscule mouvement d'un doigt à une levitation du bras )

En clair, si l'attente existe ( on va m'hypnotiser ) il suffit de donner au patient n'importe quel indice  ( vrai ou non; anticipé ou pas ) lui confirmant  son entrée en hypnose, pour que cet hypnose se fasse.

Le pouvoir est donc dans la tête du patient;) A nous de creer les circonstances, utiliser ses croyances , les rituels qui vont les favoriser, accompagner et conduire, utiliser et ratifier; y compris , si ce qu'attend le sujet, n'est rien d'autre que :

1,2,3; DORMEZ, je le veux!

Utilisation et ratification:
