Hypnosis, Hypnotherapy and the Human Mind
News & Updates

I recently had to remember a list of names. The easiest way I found to do this was to think up a word or words associated with numbers on a list such as 1) Judy 2) Phil etc. For the first one I think of “1st of July” that will make me remember “1) Judy” For the next one, I think of “too fill” to help me remember 2) Phil. Hey, whatever works for you or me in this case.
I started to think about this process; that to remember a list of ten names I’d have to go and memorize about 20 or so other words. In total, to learn 10 names, I have to memorize 20 words?? This does not seem like a very efficient method but it works all the time. If we look at how a hypnotherapist helps people via hypnosis it is very easy to understand this system and how it works.
To help a client deal with a problem, it may be necessary to go back in time with them to the point where the problem began. This updates the mind, so that when the particular trigger situation is relayed to a present day memory it follows the new information, not the old. Following the chain of events backwards to the start, then moving forward and straightening out the crooked chain, is easy… when you start at the place where the chain is first bent. Putting the client on the right path early in their mind will help straighten out their current and future path.

The key, is the chain of events and so it would seem that our ability (or at least mine) to memorize things goes much in the same way. Start at an anchor point with something we easily remember and going down the chain, it will trigger what we have a tough time remembering. The old logic has us forgetting the list, the new logic helps us to remember.
This is the system we are blessed with, so lets use it to it’s full potential.
