Ideo-motor signalling: hypnosis technique

In Ericksonian hypnotherapy, ideo-motor signalling is the name given to a technique whereby a movement of the Client’s finger is used to signal an unconscious communication  –  typically a yes or no response. I often use ideo-motor signalling with my clients in therapy, just as Milton Erickson did. I find it invaluable in uncovering the source of early learning experiences that have contributed to problems and the patterns that have maintained them. I frequently do therapy using only ideo-motor response as a communication tool, because in this way the client has no conscious realisation of what therapy is occurring. It’s a confidential therapeutic encounter between the client’s unconscious and the therapist. The client just gets better without knowing how they did it. The Technique is quite simple but does require some skill at observation and timing. Once in hypnosis, the therapist asks the Client’s unconscious mind to lift one finger for a “yes” answer, and another for a “no” answer. Sometimes the therapist will indicate on which hands the yes and no fingers will be, I prefer to leave it up to the Client’s unconscious to decide. The responses can either be on the same hand or on different hands.

Video: Insertive Eye Contact

In this video I explain a technique that I developed to hypnotise someone in a conversations using eye movements. The technique is very subtle and indiscernible to the client. What's more, even if you tell the client what you are doing or how it works it still works as effectively.

Is eating two big meals a day better than eating several smaller meals?

Research presented recently at the American Diabetes Association Conference found that research volunteers who ate two large meals a day lost more weight than those that ate several smaller meals with the same number of calories. Hana Kahleova of the Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine in Prague, asked 27 volunteers to reduce their calorie intake to 500 cal per day while eating only breakfast and lunch. She asked a similar group to do the same but to eat several smaller meals throughout the day while maintaining the same 500 cal intake. Both groups lost weight but those eating a big breakfast and lunch lost more weight than those that spread their meals over the day. The BHRTS believes that the practicalities of eating only two meals a day may be difficult for some people and maintaining the commitment and self discipline to eat just twice a day may be difficult for others. Luckily hypnotherapy is the best therapeutic tool for helping patients maintain motivation and commitment to therapeutic outcomes, so hypnotherapists may benefit over other forms of therapy by applying hypnosis to maintaining patient motivation in weight loss therapy. Although this research was presented at a prestigious conference it
