Behaviors with Hypnosis
Introduction
Within the
following pages I first discuss a simplified theory of behaviors.
Then discuss the way advanced hypnosis techniques can
be used to modify these behaviors.
Neural Pathways
The foundation of the
work involved with modifying habits involves the creation and
reinforcement of neural pathways.
Once these pathways are
created and reinforced, they can be 'triggered'. When a pathway
is triggered, it tends to function and proceed automatically.
Depending on how the behaviors are formed, and what type reinforcement they
have had, they can be very strong and difficult to change.
Behaviors, Habits and Beliefs
Think about a simple
habit, like locking the door to your car, it is an automatic function. You do not
consciously think about doing it. It happens
automatically. It is a dominant neural
pathway generally created with repetition. Many people could
change this habit with time, motivation and repitition.
Some People that may have had a
traumatic emotional experience around locking thier door, such as being
followed to their car by a stranger, would likely have
a more difficult time changing this behavior. Their neural
pathway was created with strong emotion and reinforced by
repetition. They would be trying to change a dominant neural
pathway with a strong emotional association.
The dynamic of working
'against' one's own mind is seen everyday. People fighting
to change common habits, like smoking or weight, know what this
feels like. People that struggle with the relatively more serious
issues, such as PTSD and depression, can also experience this.
The information on this site will clarify what the sense of
struggle consists of.
