Hypnotherapy : How to Calm Nerves the Natural Way
Lack of correlation between hypnotic susceptibility and various components of attention.
The purpose of our study was to measure the relationship between performance on various attentional tasks and hypnotic susceptibility. Healthy volunteers (N=116) participated in a study, where they had to perform several tasks measuring various attention components in a waking state: sustained attention, selective or focused attention, divided attention and executive attention in task switching. Hypnotic susceptibility was measured in a separate setting by the Waterloo-Stanford Groups Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility, Form C (WSGC). We found no significant correlation between any of the attentional measures and hypnotic susceptibility. Highly hypnotizables did not prove to be superior to or worse than the other individuals in any of the tests. These results do not support the neuropsychophysiological model of hypnosis, as they show no consistent relationship between hypnotic susceptibility and waking attentional performance.

Do you have problems sleeping? Is your mind always hyperactive and jumping from worry to worry? Yes, you problem are handling your stress and anxieties very well.
Remember that your reactions are most likely part of what psychologists call learned behavior. This means that at some time you reacted – or over-reacted – to a situation. When you perceived it happening again, this recognition...
During a person's life, they will most certainly encounter many forms of anxiety. Anxieties related to test taking are very common. A version of this that occurs quite frequently is driving test anxiety, which is just another form of performance anxiety. As with just about every anxiety, a person can see significant results when hypnosis is used.
