Hypnotherapy Questions






The discovery of hypnosis--Braid's lost manuscript, "On hypnotism" (1860): a brief communication.


James Braid's last manuscript on hypnotism, summarizing his mature views and lost since his death, existed only in French and German translations. The author discusses the history and importance of this document, "On Hypnotism" (1860), as well as his new English version, translated back from the French and German editions. Braid's manuscript constitutes an important, missing jigsaw piece in the early history of psychological therapy and helps to explain the origin of hypnotherapy and correct certain historical misconceptions that have developed concerning the meaning of the term hypnotism. The rediscovery of this text provides additional evidence that hypnotism originated as an explicitly empirical and "common sense" reaction against the pseudo-scientific excesses of mesmerism. Although drawing heavily on excerpts from his previous writings, some of Braid's observations and techniques may renew interest among contemporary researchers and clinicians.

Keep the Habits that You Want, Get Rid of the Rest

Any behavior that is repeated often enough becomes a habit. Once a habit become so engrained in your mind and body that normal processes are interfered with, the habit goes to the extreme of becoming an addiction.

The Wisdom of Commitment Quotes

These are some of my favorite inspirational commitment quotes. “Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.” – Anthony Robbins “There's a difference between interest and commitment.

When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.” – Author Unknown “Commitment unlocks the doors of imagination, allows vision, and gives us the "right stuff" to turn our dreams into reality.” – James Womack “Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and...
