How Does Hypnosis Work? What is Hypnotherapy? What about Self-Hypnosis?

If you're a doctor, researcher, or technical person - here is a site that shows how hypnosis works in clinical situations...e.g. depression, irritable bowel syndrome, etc. 

If you're a patient and find an article you like, take it to your doctor.  See what they think.  If you don't like the answer you get, explore the topic on your own, and find another doctor or professional hypnotherapist.  You are in charge of your own health and happiness.  Find a way that works for you.  

Your local library can also help you get free copies.  Lots of these are also probably on the Internet.

You might find this an excellent networking tool, also.  Find the articles you like and contact the authors.  Find places that do your kind of research.

Tom sez - How about opening this research to the public?  Crowdsourcing?  Open Innovation?  Wiki?

People know what works and what doesn't, even if Science doesn't agree or can't figure out how it works.  Examples - Many people swear by devices that others have said are "Quack Medical Devices".  Who is right? The patient who says it works or ....the skeptic who says it does not or cannot work?

“Poems in the Waiting Room”

Have you ever heard of “Poems in the Waiting Room”?    

Well, I hadn’t either until I read about it in Mental Floss May-June 2011.

Poetry in the waiting room sounds to me like a combination of placebo effect and hypnosis to achieve a better current situation and encouraging a positive outcome.

Snippets from the link below I found interesting….

…. make the patient's wait more pleasant.

…. The readers are patients - the worried well and the worried sick.

…. The readers are patients - the worried well and the worried sick. The poems selected draw from the springs of well-being. In time of trouble, a measure of comfort is welcome".

…. The essential is that they all contain positive images of hope, home, security, safe journey and arrival, beauty and transcendence, love and loving.

 

Sounds to me that these poems are relaxing the patient and helping them focus on expecting a positive outcome – i.e. hypnosis & placebo - just like The Virtual Healing Machine.
