Tapping & Hypnosis Reconnect Therapy

    • Mental Health

You are probably familiar with the history of hypnosis. You know of Mesmer and how he got the idea for using iron and magnets, and his theory about animal magnetism from watching Father Hell, a Jesuit Priest bring about cures by tapping people over the head with an iron crucifix. Later Mesmer's ideas about animal magnetism fell out of favor and it was all written off by the scientists of the day as being a cure caused by imagination or suggestibility. Hence, Mesmer is called the father of hypnosis, since hypnosis can be defined as a state of heightened suggestibility.

Mesmer's hypnosis did not look like what we call hypnosis today. His was a form of "waking hypnosis." The state of heightened suggestibility or hypnosis was induced in an individual who appears to be in normal waking consciousness, which she is, except that she is highly suggestible. I believe that is exactly what we are doing when we are using EFT to help our clients
