Abstract:In contemporary hypnosis, language constitutes the hypnotist's rudimentary instrument for developing and utilizing the hypnotic trance. In the current article, the author proposes a theoretical and clinical approach for using patient self-talk during hypnotic induction by discussing the influence of self-talk on consciousness regulation. The article includes some historical background on the use of language during hypnotic communication and demonstrates some clinical applications of patients self-talk in the p… Show more
“…Respondents' under stressful conditions when exposed to classical music or music experienced less stress, less anxiety, become more calm [38], [39], [41]- [43], and relieve level of stress [44]. It was also revealed that depression was reduced through music [40], [45]- [47].…”
Filipino youths are the hope of Philippine society. However, cigarette smoking and binge drinking continually corrupt this aspiration. Mental health states interplay with the growing setback of substance consumption. The main objective of the study is to determine the efficacy of the multimodal intervention program among the participants in this study. Specifically, it answers the following objectives: i) Develop an intervention program to address the high anxiety, mild depression, and normal self-esteem of the participants and ii) Determine the significant difference between the control group and the experimental group in the pre-test and post-test intervention measures. A matched-group experimental design was carried out among the participants who were randomly assigned to the control group and the experimental group. There were forty participants who met the criteria set by the researchers. When the multimodal intervention program was tested using t-test to analyze the findings at .05 level, it yielded significant results. Based on the findings of the study, the developed multimodal intervention program appeared to be effective. A follow-up study may be conducted to further test the efficacy.

“…Educational self-talk interventions teach people about their organic self-talk to improve their self-regulation. Accordingly, self-talk was most commonly referred to as positive self-talk (Table 1) and described as a self-regulatory mechanism (Goldberg et al, 2018; Meyerson, 2017; Sassi-Dambron et al, 1995). As expected, educational self-talk interventions aimed to strengthen the goal-directed use of self-talk.…”
The present work synthesises the self-talk literature and constructs a transdisciplinary self-talk model to guide future research across all academic disciplines that engage with self-talk. A comprehensive research review was conducted, including 559 self-talk articles published between 1978 and 2020. These articles were divided into 6 research categories: (a) inner dialogue, (b) mixed spontaneous and goal-directed organic self-talk, (c) goal-directed self-talk, (d) spontaneous self-talk, (e) educational self-talk interventions, and (f) strategic self-talk interventions. Following this, critical details were extracted from a subsample of 100 articles to create an interdisciplinary synthesis of the self-talk literature. Based on the synthesis, a self-talk model was created that places spontaneous and goal-directed organic self-talk as well as educational and strategic self-talk interventions in relation to variables within their nomological network, including external factors (e.g. task difficulty), descriptive states and traits (e.g. emotions), behaviour and performance, metacognition, and psychological skills (e.g. concentration).
“…Nor have researchers ascertained whether inductions based on client preference (e.g., relaxation vs. imagery based) are particularly effective. Still, in our clinical work we solicit preferences and actively coconstruct inductions with clients (see Meyerson, 2017), just as we do when we cocreate suggestions to target a specific problem or issue. We further advocate inductions that minimize perceptions of failure, bolster positive expectancies, and provide initial indications of responsiveness (see example of such a "fail safe" induction, Lynn, Kirsch, & Rhue, 1996).…”

“…Targeted hypnotic suggestions can disrupt incipient streams of negative associations that recruit other associations, build momentum, and engender negative moods or trigger dysfunctional behavior patterns. As maladaptive, repetitive, and ruminative automatic thoughts (e.g., “I am not good enough”) are often highly salient and their validity unquestioned, they can be legitimately explained to clients as dysfunctional self-talk, inner speech, or self-suggestions that are amenable to being monitored, modified, and tested for their accuracy (Lynn & Kirsch, 2006; Meyerson, 2017; Yapko, 2013). In the case of depression, self-talk coalesces around themes of low self-esteem, worthlessness, and inadequacy, and in the case of anxiety, themes of anticipated threat or negative outcomes.…”
We describe key aspects of hypnosis that distinguish it from other psychotherapeutic approaches, argue that hypnosis occupies a unique niche among clinical interventions, and claim that a substantial body of evidence supports its use across a gamut of psychological conditions. Hypnotic techniques are ideally suited to present useful suggestions that can alter subjective, behavioral, and physiological responses; enhance positive treatment expectancies; steer the ongoing flow of spontaneous mental activity and associations; focus attention; engage imagination; enhance rapport; access and bolster personal resources; and facilitate self-regulation. We contend that a sufficient corpus of theory and research now exists to extrapolate to a list of 18 "do's and don'ts" we present that represent a utilitarian approach to clinical hypnosis to guide its responsible, science-based use in clinical contexts and to supplement existing treatments on an adjunctive basis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
