Recently, a ** sparked a discussion about hypnosis. In **, a male classmate appears to be commanded after receiving hypnosis, and his body is stiff enough to bear the weight of a person.
There are two questions that arouse people's curiosity:
First, is there really a hypnosis technique?
Second, what is it like to be hypnotized?
According to sources, the hypnotized student in ** felt stiff after hypnosis, and was suspended between two tables, stepped on by his classmates, but did not feel too much weight. He can also hear other students talking, but under the teacher's guidance, he avoids these sounds.
The teacher who gave the hypnosis demonstration in ** said that the subconscious mind is an innate protective mechanism. If the hypnotist enters the patient's mind without his consent and tries to extract the core secret, the patient will wake up immediately.
According to Fan Tengteng, deputy director of the Department of Sleep Medicine of Peking University Sixth Hospital, hypnosis is mainly used for depression, anxiety, post-traumatic psychological reactions and other diseases.
Regarding hypnosis, Van Tengten pointed out that the hypnotized person's attention to the surrounding environment decreases, and the sensitivity to the hypnotist's suggestion increases. In this state, if some negative hypnotic content is introduced to the hypnotized person through suggestion, it is possible to aggravate the original mental and psychological symptoms.
The Shanghai Science and Technology Museum said that hypnosis does not disguise you to do anything against your will, nor does it reveal any information you wish to keep private. Hypnosis will only make you more receptive to some experiences, but it won't force you to have them.
Hypnosis is a state of deep relaxation and concentration, so not all of us are easily hypnotized. Studies have shown that 10% to 15% of people are very sensitive to hypnosis, while 10% are difficult or impossible to be hypnotized.
Overall, hypnosis has a wide range of real-life applications for depression, anxiety, compulsive gambling, phobias, and PTSD, among others, and can also be used to help people change their behaviors, such as quitting smoking, or preventing bedwetting.
