I went to see a hypnotist last night to see if he could regress me so I could remember some things I needed to remember. I don't really want to go into the details of what I had to remember but needless to say it was important to me. I wanted to be 12 years old again and see if I could establish any memories from this time. Don't think sinister, nothing bad happened to me personally; I just needed to remember some facts. I admit it, I was sceptical before I went, I didn't think it would work...
I took one of my friends with me because I was anxious in case it did work. I would be stuck in a room with a stranger who literally had control of my mind and she was also interested to see if it would work. We headed down to his office after work last night; he met us and led us into a cozy little room with a bed, a microphone, stereo and two chairs.
He went to great lengths to explain to me that I would remember everything that happened during the session, that although I would only hear his voice I could still exercise free will and that if I didn't want to say something or wanted to end the session I could do so at any time.
And so the session began, "Liken it to being told a very boring bedtime story," he said to me in a lilted, multi-toned but strangely relaxing voice.
Music played in the background; I could just hear cars passing by the window outside when he began to speak.
Be calm, you're relaxed, your legs are getting heavy, all the muscles relax in your legs, you are peaceful, you are calm...
He repeated phrases over and over again in his soft melodic voice and slowly I felt a great weight starting at my feet moving gradually up from my feet, through my hips, through my abdomen, down on my chest, to my neck, head and finally through my arms. It was a strange sensation; I felt utterly at peace with myself and did not want to move a muscle. Initially, when my legs began to feel heavy I remember my hips feeling sore from the weight. He moved to my hips and as soon as he told me to relax them, the pain diminished.
I want to take you back, back... back... Back to when you were 12 years old... Its your birthday, can you remember your birthday...
I couldn't see anything, all was black, hazy and confused. I could distinguish bright lights and people looking over me. My head hurt profusely, I was scared and confused. In my head I realised where I was, I was in hospital, not on my 12th birthday but on my 13th. This made sense in my head because the time I wanted to get to was just weeks before my 13th birthday. I couldn't describe it to him; I was stuck. I fell off my bike on my 13th birthday knocking myself unconscious resulting in me being taken into hospital with concussion.
Take yourself back again, back... back... back... Just a few weeks... You look down and see what you are wearing, what are you wearing?
"I don't know... maybe... Black platform shoes," I giggle. "I hate these shoes, I dunno why I'm wearing them, mum makes me wear them. I really hate these shoes!"
Can you tell me what else you're wearing?
"Aha, I'm wearing my cream orange tag levi jeans and a black and white knitted jumper..." My voice sounds young and shrill, my thoughts are 12 years old. "I really hate these shoes you know, dunno why I'm wearing them. Probably mum made me."
Where are you? Do you know where you are?
"Yeah, I'm in my friend's bedroom, Nicola. Ooh, there's her computer..."
What kind of computer does Nicola have?
"She has an Amstrad CPC464, the same as mine, green screen monitor and tape deck. We used to swap games; we've both got heaps of games!"
What are you doing at Nicola's?
"What am I doing? Well, I dunno... Going through her CDs, we're just listening to music, Nirvana, Metallica, The Doors... She's got a Kurt Cobain poster on the back of her door, she loves him. I think he's just died."
Suddenly a fit of unstoppable giggles overpowers me. I can't stop laughing.
What is it? Why are you laughing?
I can hardly contain myself, "Nicola's mum is really mad at us... We did the dishes earlier and cos her mum was so mean to us, we let the dog wash the dishes clean with his tongue instead of washing them. Hahahahaha!"
Oh.. right... What are you going to do tonight?
In a very definite voice I reply, "We're going out!"
Really? Where are you going?
"Into town, we're going to Costies to get some sweets and so Nicola can smoke, I don't smoke, yuck!"
---------------------------------------------
Right, I want you to remember a different day, a day when you remember somebody being there, somebody important. Can you go back to that day for me?
"Aha..."
Can you look down? Can you remember what you were wearing?"
"Aha... Black Dr Martin shoes, black Pepe jeans and a blue and white stripey Pepe jumper. My jeans are really washed out, I love these jeans but they're old now. Granny got me them for my last birthday. Wish mum would dye them or something so I could keep wearing them, probably be too short soon though."
Can you remember where you are, what you're doing?
"Yeah, walking home, always walking home this way... It's getting dark... Flotta cars will be driving into town soon. Mum doesn't like me walking out this road in the dark. I've not got the right clothes on... I hate the Flotta cars, they come so fast. They have different coloured headlights, yellow headlights, and they don't look for you. There aren't any lights near my house; I have to dive onto the verge when one comes nearly falling in the ditch. I don't like the dark and the ditch is full of rats. Ewwww!"
Where are you now?
"Just turning up the road to go home, going up the steps, opening my front door... No, everyone's out, the door's locked. Its ok, I can put my hand through the letterbox and unlock it from the inside. I dunno why they even bother locking it..."
"I'm sooo hungry..."
What have you been doing today?
"I've been playing Octupush!!" I state proudly.
Oh, what's that then?
"Underwater hockey. I play after school and walk home. I'm starving though, it always makes me so tired and so hungry. Mum's not home... Hope my dinner is in the fridge... I'll get my dinner, go to bed and..." I pause and I think I must have had a scowl on my face.
What's the matter?
"Aw mum, she put a tv in my bedroom and now I don't read so many books. I like my tv but I wish she'd take it away. If she takes it away though she'll give it to my little sister then I'll never get it back if I want it."
I see... What are you going to do now?
"Well, I've got my tea, its mince and tatties. I'm going up to my room and I'm going to watch tv. Star Treks on!"
Ahh, Star Trek, keep telling me what you're doing.
"Well, I'm looking at my book. Its Catherine Cookson, The Moth. I don't like this book. Mum keeps giving me books to read and they're either silly romance books or murder mysteries. I don't like either. Silly talk of.... What's that word... hahahaha 'Concubine'! Hahahaha, silly books full of concubines falling in love and running away with rich men. They're so silly. I'll watch Star Trek, I'm not reading that, I don't think I'm going to finish it."
---------------------------------------------
Eventually the recall came to an end. He pulled me out of my sleep. He made repeat everything I'd said back to him. I couldn't believe the details. Throughout the experience I could remember the feeling of the air on my cheeks, the temperature, the sounds, the smells. It really had felt like I was 12 again.
Sleep...
After repeating all I had recalled he made me sleep again. I remember him telling me he was going to do it but when I was awake I didn't believe that I would just instantly fall asleep again. He said sleep and I remember looking at him and thinking 'no, this can't work.' But it did...
He told me when I was asleep this time that next time I went to see him he would only have to tell me to sleep and I'd go to sleep again. I remember thinking, 'This guy has real control over me now... What if he can just make sleep on his say so. God help me if he's a serial killer or rapist.' Nevertheless, I went along with it fully intending to go back at the end of the month to see if he can't help me stop smoking.
I also had some thoughts after this. We talked at length about regression and recalling previous lives. He told me of cases where people had recounted the memories up to somebody in the past's deaths that couldn't possibly be known. He told me of instances of historic cases being solved because of hypnotism. This made me wonder... If there really is some truth in it and we can recall previous lives then why recall a previous life? Why not try and recall what we were doing between lives? It could give us an insight into death. Better still, lets find out if we can recall things to come, look into the future.
I've had a taste now of the subconscious mind and I swear to you I'm going back. There's definitely something in it, it's not just Hocus Pocus.

I was implying you were vain for assuming I was simply created as an alter to bash your post.
I need to say that a "Simple" internet search is not much for credibility. The evidence surrounding hypnosis is extremely vague and considered "paranormal" by most mainstream psychologists.
Psychiatric research indicates no significant change in brain activity during hypnosis. I don't know where you're getting your facts from. I've heard of major surgery under hypnosis before and don't know what to make of it. There's a reason why it's considered "paranormal psychology" when discussing hypnosis.
Maybe I'm wrong. Just an opinion. Maybe subconcious minds do exist. Maybe there is a god. Fuck if I know.

I'm nither a vein bastard or stupid for thinking you're an alter. With 11 reviews and no posts to speak of it would seem a more than likely possibility that you are an alter. I apologise if you aren't.
I agree there is a difference between meditation and hypnosis but there most certainly is scientific evidence to suggest that different parts of the brain are active in a hypnotic state and that people may be influenced in that state. Hypnosis used in place of anaesthesia is fascinating, that can't all be mumbo jumbo because people have undergone major surgery, dental work etc in a hypnotic state feeling minimal pain. Are you telling me these people have no nerve endings, that there's some other black magic at work? I think not.
I agree that the effectiveness of hypnosis will vary from person to person but I do believe for it to be effective, the person must first be motivated in the area of treatment e.g. a person hypnotised to stop smoking really must want to stop smoking. It's not mind control, its the power of suggestion and putting your brain in a state where it blocks out all the noise, isn't distracted and can focus on a singular goal.
To say its all a load of bullshit is a pretty blinkered point of view, a simple internet search for some credible scientific research proves otherwise.

There is no scientific evidence for any altered state of brain activity during "hypnotism" whatsoever. Evidence exists supporting altered brain activity during Meditation, and the two aren't the same thing. Any dipshit who's taken an introductory psychology class knows this.
TLDR: Hypnotism is bullshit and so is this post.

I've just come back from Rockness and have just subjected my mind to a fuck load of mind altering substances, maybe this is why I'm suggestable. Fuck knows. All I can say is, don't knock it until you've tried it, my mental abilities and intelligence are just fine thank you is probably why I have an inkling to further explore possibility. If it doesn't work then so be it but if it does then I'm a little wiser already than you skeptics below.

I didn't say intelligence. Someone can be a 1600 SAT astrophysicist who writes orchestra music in his/her spare time and still get psychologically bulled over in many different sorts of situations, by many different sorts of people. Even those with unquestionably less intellectual capacity.
However, if your frail little mind can be overwhelmed to the point of revealing purposely repressed information, or deeply influencing your actions in a way you would not normally allow--- all by rhythmic sounds and a swinging stopwatch, I repeat, that you are not of a mentally superior caliber.
I'd venture to guess that these are the same people who dream in black and white, can't hold their 3 drinks without getting slosh-sloppy even though they drink all the time, and eat Taco Bell because it's "so good."

Also, remember, hypnotism works only on the weak and stupid, like Jedi mind tricks. I doubt this story even happened, you just took out WHY you were being hypnotized to get interest in the sequel you'll probably write.

It does work for smoking cessation and weight loss IF you go in with an open mind. Rather than put you under a spell not to eat junk/smoke they take you through your subconscious reasons why you have these habits - understanding *why* you do something is half the battle.
They can also help curb urges by making you subconsciously associate your bad habit with somehing revolting and nasty.
You still need willpower/
I myself have been hypnotised, I was a little sceptical (I'd only ever seen the 'act like a chicken' Paul McKenna shite on TV) but I was open to the possibility it *could* work - apparently, people with HUrtys attitude would be impossible to put under.
For years, I had the memory of being about 5 and playing at my friends parents bungalow across the street, directly across from our house.
It was summer and we were playing in the paddling pool on her back garden. There was about 6 of us.
The girl suggested we play hide and seek and we all scampered off. I ran into a room, it wasn't the Master bedroom, neither was it the girls shared bedroom, it was a large bedroom at the back of the bungalow, with twin single beds covered in navy candlewick spread.
I hid between one of the beds and the window sill - I heard some of my friends outside being 'found', I am certain I am the only one who ventured into the house.
For years, all I rememered from this point is her uncle walking in, he was tall and balding on top. I recall his face perfectly. I remebered being worried I'd be in trouble, I was damp and only had on my costume, but he wasn't cross, he spoke very softly to me. I recall I felt really uncomfortable, even at such a young age.
My last memory is him walking towards me, smiling. After that, blankness.
It really bugged me - I have a fantastic memory, I can recall things correctly and clearly from the age of 3 (my family are not the type to talk about 'old days' so they are memories rather than what I have heard).
Hypnotism was suggested by a medical professional i happened to mention my experience to.
My experience was some what similar to yours. The outcome was< nothing really happened that day that was untoward. As much as it was a relief, it was also sad I couldn't blame my whoreish ways on some long foorgotten abuse. It seems,I am, just a whore.
That's it really.

I can imagine that were it possible to recall insight and wisdom from a previous life, the world might indeed benefit. Of course, we could also revive Genghis Khan and Hitler...
Personally, I'm quite happy to have a dodgey memory. Blessed are the forgetful: for they get the better even of their blunders.

I have tried it, and it's fucking stupid, both the stage show version and the stop smoking one on one style shit. It's utter and complete nonsense.

It is only nonsense if you go in with the attitude that it doesn't work. While I don't that hypnotism can help you lose weight or stop smoking it can help you recover memories, and be funny for others. I went to a comedy show with a hypnotist who made my friend give lap dances for a dollar and other things of that nature.
Also manbearpig sighting.

I've decided I'm going to try everything at least once. At the moment I am on a big huge mission, been surfing, snow boarding, kayaking, playing rugby, football... You name it, I'm doing it as well as getting helluva drunk at the same time. Hypnotism was on the list and besides I went there for a reason - remember I said to you the other day I was having trouble remembering the facts around a certain incident?
Well anyway, I did remember with more to go with it. It was really worthwhile because it put to rest things I've been wondering for the last 15 years. That's all gone now and I've got some reconciliation with myself on it. I'm glad.

Yeah, but how many of us are so blessed that we exercise self control? I can't, I sure as hell know you can't. I guess its alright if you're happy being out of control, personally, I kind of like it most of the time, makes the world unpredictable and interesting. Saying that, there are aspects of myself I would like to have more control over e.g. smoking. Hypnotism is a good thing if it helps people deal with things. MRI of people under hypnosis show different parts of the brain are active, I'm also interested in that and if hypnosis is a means to better understand or tap into that knowledge then I'm all for it.

"Research shows that adults who go back to relive their childhood are in no way reliving it, they're play acting... Hypnotism in no way actually changes your ability to remember past events or to re-live your development."

Exactly, it's up to the individual. Self control is all you need, hypnotists are making money because of human stupidity. That 'Wendi' woman is a fucking cunt, so's the guy you saw.

I don't like Penn & Teller. This isn't telling you hynotism doesn't work, its just telling you with bad language that it can help with things but at the end of the day its up to the individual. You don't give your brain over to mind control, you're perfectly in control the whole way through.

Hurty, stuff I already knew yes but memories are fickle things. They get confused with time and honestly, not just the memory recall but the whole experience was amazing. I felt like I was 12 again. It really was as though he'd shot me back in time. I didn't mention even a 10th of it here. I was under for about 2.5 hours and for £50 I thought that was damned reasonable. Another £50 to see if he can't stop me smoking is money well spent, even if it doesn't work, the feeling after you come out is better than drugs. Its like the whole world has been put to right. Don't knock it until you've tried it.
