The association between the oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR) and hypnotizability.
This study confirmed that oxytocin plays a significant role in modulating the extent to which people can engage in external or internal experiences. The hypothesis was that levels of the neuropeptide oxytocin is correlated with heightened awareness of external cues. Also, the conclusion was that the capacity to respond to suggestions for altered internal states is influenced by the oxytocin receptor gene. (This study should be viewed in relationship to earlier work done at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Medical School regarding oxytocin levels and defensiveness. This also correlates with statements made by hypnotists, such as Dave Elman, in which they say that a person's resistance to hypnosis could be affected by fear.)

I could hardly think of what life would be like without the company of man’s best friend. The bond that comes from the deep understanding between a person and their dog (or dogs) is a unique relationship. Yet, to many people even the thought of being around one makes them very uncomfortable and may even evoke feelings of horror.
A fear of dogs may have been installed during your youth. It could have started due to a warning from a loved one or may even be due to an incident where you were attacked or felt threatened. Like any fear or phobia, this fear is a learned behavior that...
Let’s face it. For each and every one of us there is something or someone who inspires in us a level of anxiety and dread, which can reasonably be referred to as fear. For some it can be the thought of a snake, spider, dogs, or even wide open spaces. Others constantly live in utter misery as they tend to avoid many of the sights, sounds, and occurrences of modern-day life. What causes this and do we have a choice?
As humans we have a superior ability to anticipate and simulate. When we anxiously await the arrival of a person who we love or are overly concerned about the possibility...
