Hi Nerrezza,

Abnormal Reactions:

1.      EMOTIONAL OUTLET: Hypnosis produces a natural emotional outlet.  A
           subject may appear to be perfectly normal until hypnotized.  Then he may begin
           to toss and turn, or exhibit other unusual signs.  While awake the subject has
           control over his idiosyncrasies, but in hypnosis his emotions are turned loose.  
           Avoid working with this type of subject if he  continues to react badly, unless
           he has to be hypnotized for therapeutic purposes, prescribed by a physician.
   
2.   SUPPRESSED EMOTIONS: An example of this would be when a subject is        
           placed under hypnosis and begins to cry, for no apparent reason.  Usually
           something very depressing has happened to the subject in the recent past, like
           a death in the family.  The subject holds his emotions in check until hypnotized,
         then he lets his guard down and lets out his suppressed emotions.  Tell your
   subject to go ahead and cry...and that it is good to let out these suppressed
   emotions.  Do not let the subject go to extremes and become hysterical.  After a
   minutes tell the subject to relax and stop crying...JUST RELAX.  Continue with
   your program only if y ou subject desire to and does not show any more unusal
   signs.

3.   ABREACTIONS: The repressed emotions related to traumatic episodes in the
   past can be brought out by suggestion.  They occur when a subject begins to cry,
   when age-regressing a subject who has had an unpleasant childhood or traumatic
   experience.  An abreaction can also be caused by suggesting a scene closely re-
   lated to that of a traumatic event.  For example: A suggesting was giving to a
   women that she was relaxing and sunning on the beach, when some dark clouds
   appeared.  The clouds covered the sun, the wind picked up, and it began to rain.  
   these seemingly harmless suggestions were given to produce hot and cold
           sensations.  Instead, the subject immediately began to cry.  Her crying stopped
   after she was instructed to forget the suggestion and just relax.  It was later    
           discovered that she had subconsciously recalled a similar situation when she
           was a little girl playing on the beach with her friends.  A storm had blown up
           suddenly, and one of her playmates was struck and killed by a bolt of lightning
           right before her eyes.  The whole experience was completely forgotten.  Only
           after much questioning was she able to consciously remember any traumatic
           event  ever happening.

4.   ARTIFICIAL TRAUMATIC EVENTS:  This can be created by giving
           improper suggestion, being chased by a beast, having a truck pull out in front
           of the subject while driving at high speed, etc.  Any intelligent person can easily
           realize the danger involed in doing this.  Not only could the subject become
   hysterical and refuse further suggestions, but there is also a possibility of causing
   a hear attack.  This artificial condition can also be produced by giving
           suggestions to persons afflicted with phobias.  For example, telling a subject that
           he is climbing, falling, or flying when he has a tremendous fear of heights, or
   telling a subject that he is riding in an elevator when he has claustrophobia.  The
   best policy is to question your subject before the induction to determine if he has
   any fears, and then avoid giving suggestions relating to them.

5.   LETHERGY:  This occurs when a subject goes into hypnosis but does not
           

respond to suggestions.  The subject remains indifferent - similar to a stupor.
           Since the subject will not respond to any suggestions, it is wise to bring him up
           immediately.

In all of the above cases, the most important thing to remember is to remain calm, as though nothing unusual has happened.  A hypnotized subject is highly sensitive and can detect if the hypnotist is uncertain and confused.  When this happens, it is possible to lose control of the situation if your subject refuses to accept any more suggestions.  (It would be wise to thoroughly learn the procedures for bringing your subject out of the hypnotic state before a difficult situation occurs.

How about this? Don't hypnotise unless you have self certification and common sense?

[Nerezza]

It is a viable method to induce relaxation. If you end up running in the streets naked, you're reading the wrong articles.

Does that mean there are lots of French hypnotists?

WHOOPSIE. [B)]

Heard that nude beaches are more like the discovery channel than the playboy channel, may have to find out for myself sometime []

hehehe

Self-hypnosis is a valid way of achieving relaxation and various goals be they menta or physical.
But in order to avoid problems the suggestions and post-hypnotic suggestions and triggers need to be well thought out and formulated in a way that prevents our subconscious from interpreting them in an adverse manner.

As with all methods of interfacing with your mind and subconscinous by means of hypnosis, magic, affirmations etc, please think first and act later.
