Chapter Ninety-Three: Establishment of a Safety Island
The core elements of hypnosis are concentration, relaxation, imagination and suggestion, which is the process by which the hypnotist directly deals with the subconscious mind of the hypnotist.
Under the guidance of a hypnotist, the subconscious mind is in an open state and automatically connects with inner resources, including relaxed and pleasant emotional experiences, relaxed physical sensations, and positive cognition in the mind.
Depression is actually the result of the patient's constant hypnotization of the self by negative triggers between the outside world and the self. Therefore, the key core is to use hypnosis to replace negative triggers with positive cognition and experience, and you will come out of the depressive state, like surgery.
Yuan Jia took Jiang Shiyun to the lounge and explained to her the principle of hypnosis and the general process.
Jiang Shiyun trusts Yuan Jia very much, and the prerequisites for hypnosis have been met.
The establishment of trust is very important, and if you don't trust each other, you don't have much chance of inducing success.
Of course, there is also a means of reverse induction, such as someone who is determined to say, 'I will never be hypnotized', and an experienced hypnotist can use this to create some sober cues to achieve the effect of hypnosis, because when a person's attention is focused on a certain point, the rest of the psychological defenses must be empty.
It is not the first time that Yuan Jia has done hypnotherapy, and through the communication and understanding of Jiang Shiyun, he has preliminarily designed the next hypnosis plan.
For the depth of hypnosis, it is generally divided into three layers.
The first layer is mild hypnosis, the experiencer will feel relaxed physically and mentally, the psychological defense will gradually decrease, it is easy to say things that are usually unspeakable, and the self-consciousness is relatively clear, thinking that they have not been hypnotized, but in fact they have entered the state.
The second level is moderate hypnosis, where the conscious and subconscious minds build a bridge of communication, and the mind is very active, at this time, the hypnotist can use specific messages to send instructions to the consciousness level of the experiencer, and even achieve the effect of re-entering the scene.
The third layer is deep hypnosis, when the experiencer's self-consciousness is not awake, and it is the subconscious mind that dominates, and he does not even know what is happening in the outside world, immersed in the world of the subconscious.
Jiang Shiyun had not tried hypnosis, she was slightly nervous, and according to Yuan Jia's instructions, she lay on the leaning bench with her thumb rubbing her index finger.
"Teacher Yuan, I'm worried that I won't be able to enter the hypnotic state, I'm too awake......"
"It's okay, hypnosis is not sleeping, you are awake the whole time. ”
Yuan Jia opened the curtains, and the afternoon sun lit up the lounge, and the air was filled with dust like specks of light.
Looking at the sunshine and looking at Yuan Jia who was preparing the manuscript, he had a faint temperament, and Jiang Shiyun unconsciously calmed down.
"How are you feeling now?" asked Yuanjia.
"Well, it's okay. ”
"Then let's get started. ”
Yuan Jia moved a small stool and sat beside her, a distance that allowed her to hear his words clearly, including the speed and intonation of his speech.
"Adjust your breathing first...... Good...... Slowly close your eyes, feel your body, breathe at a rhythm that makes you comfortable, and the breath full of life enters your body, and your body becomes lighter and lighter......"
Before the hypnosis began, Yuan Jia still used the regular progressive relaxation method to help Jiang Shiyun relax and relax.
Her spirit has always been tense, and this step has taken a lot of time, Yuan Jia is very patient, and did not interrupt her chaotic thoughts with words, but just fed back according to her movements, constantly adjusting the rhythm of her commands.
After entering the relaxed state of the body, Yuan Jia began to guide the picture, and let her tense spirit enter a relaxed state at a deeper level.
In a hypnotic state, her subconscious mind will accept this state of active relaxation, which can be very effective in relieving the long-term repression of self-awareness.
"Remember, you just said that dream, there is a house by the sea, can you imagine that house and the seaside?"
"Yes..."
"It's a beautiful day, the blue sky is cloudless, and when you look at the sky, you can see an endless amount of blue, and the blue stretches until the end of the line of sight meets the sea level......"
Jiang Shiyun didn't speak, but from her slightly moving eyelids and gradually opening mouth, Yuan Jia knew that she had seen the picture she imagined.
"On the surface of the sea, the waves appear and recede rhythmically, leaving white foam, seagulls flying in the sky or landing on the reef basking in the sun, do you see the color of their beaks?"
"Gray... Orange..."
"Do you see the colors of the sand, the sea, the sky, and the white clouds?"
"Hmm..."
"Now listen to it, the sound of seagulls, the sound of waves crashing on the shore, so thorough, so calming, now you walk barefoot on the beach, to feel the feeling of stepping on the sand, is it dry or wet?"
"Wet..."
"Is it warm or cool? Pay attention to the feeling on the soles of your feet, the feeling on the instep, and the feeling between your toes. ”
"Warm..."
"The sand is soft, it wraps around your feet, and if you want, then now you can bend down and touch the sand with your hands and fingers, what does that feel like?"
......
Under the guidance of Yuan Jia's meticulous pictures, Jiang Shiyun seemed to be on the beach, seeing with her eyes, listening with her ears, touching with her hands and feet, sniffing with her nose, and even tasting the taste of seawater.
Her physical and mental state has reached an unprecedented level of relaxation, and next, Yuanjia is about to start implanting the first positive heart anchor, also known as building a 'safety island'.
"Now that you have a beach of your own, you can find yourself a comfortable place, you can lean on the coconut trees to cool off, you can sit in the sun and watch the sea, watch the waves push back and forth in the eternal rhythm, watch the seagulls soar in the sky, this is a place full of life, this is a place that is incredibly safe, it belongs to you, right? ”
"Yes..."
"It's calm, peaceful, free, relaxed, and any time you want to rest, you can come back here and recharge your mind, because it's your beach, and you can come here easily, right? ”
"Yes..."
"It's a special gift, you will always have it, the more you come, the better you get in every way, the healthier and stronger, you feel like you are full of life, your emotions are more and more positive, and you can't help but laugh whenever you come here. ”
Jiang Shiyun didn't speak, but it was obvious that there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and the 'safety island' was successfully implanted into the subconscious.
After implanting the 'safety island', Jiang Shiyun is equivalent to having an absolutely safe psychological field, which will be her last resort when dealing with any emotion.
Whenever an uncontrollable emotion occurs, the heart anchor will be activated, and she can feel the calm, peaceful, free, and relaxed feeling that the 'safety island' brings to her.
This is just the first layer of hypnosis, and then Yuanjia is going to start 'surgery', that is, to remove 'negative triggers'
Negative triggers are not removed, just like cancer cells growing in the psyche, constantly eating away at positive emotions.
Unlike the negative triggers he helped Wang Yalin remove last time, Wang Yalin is post-traumatic stress disorder, and her negative triggers are very clear, like a tumor, just pick it up.
But Jiang Shiyun has suffered from depression for many years, and there are too many negative triggers buried in her heart, and it is difficult to find out and remove them all.
Her illness cannot be cured by one or two hypnosis, but through continuous 'hypnosis surgery', the negative triggers will become less and less, until it no longer has a serious impact on her, and she will be able to live like a normal person, after all, even if she is a normal person, there are always a few 'negative events' buried in her heart.
Yuan Jia raised his attention, carefully observing all the subtle movements and changes in Jiang Shiyun's expression.
He began the second screen guide.
