Chapter 574: Chapter 550: Collapsed to the Ground
Mo Kai couldn’t widen his eyes any further; his mind was almost frozen, yet his body started to push away the equally stunned security guards, seemingly wanting to rush forward to help.
However, someone moved even faster than him.
The nurse with the round bun practically leaped out, immediately pushing the hospital bed with the pregnant woman lying on it toward Chonghui, moving the still-unconscious woman away from the center of the struggle.
Then, she grabbed the old man’s knife-wielding hand!
Nan Zhubin sighed inwardly.
Just now, he used the newly acquired [Hypnosis Treatment·Basic].
But the effect was unsatisfactory; it could be considered a failed attempt, hardly even counting as[hypnosis].
The history of hypnosis is long, even longer than that of psychology.
In the modern historical context, the term “hypnosis” first appeared in the 1840s, named by British doctor James Braid, bringing the technique from the realm of mysticism into the field of science.
During this period, hypnosis was extensively used in medical clinics to intervene in patients with hysteria, which lacked organic lesions, aiming to alleviate or redirect symptoms such as paralysis, blindness, and convulsions.
Even before anesthetics were widely available, Dr. James applied a great deal of “hypnotic anesthesia” for performing large surgeries, including amputations.
This period’s [hypnosis] was also known as [Traditional Authoritative Hypnosis], due to the use of a large number of directive statements during hypnosis, such as “forget the memory of that car accident,” “you will not feel pain from now on,” and “today you will be very thirsty and drink a lot of water.”
At the same time, as [hypnosis] technology developed, researchers realized that a so-called “second mental world” exists, which a person could directly face and converse with the hypnotist within after being hypnotized.
This “second mental world” was later referred to as the [subconscious]. This update is available on N0veI.Fiɾe.net
Sigmund Freud conducted research based on this, eventually creating the first psychological consultation school in history, the [Psychoanalytic School].
Yes, although [hypnosis] is considered a technique of the [Psychoanalytic School], [hypnosis] can strictly speaking be viewed as the soil in which the [Psychoanalytic School] flourished.
But also during this period, researchers discovered many drawbacks of [Traditional Authoritative Hypnosis], including neglecting individual differences, easily inducing resistance, and being highly dependent on the hypnotic susceptibility of the person being hypnotized — that is, whether and how easily a person can be hypnotized.
From this perspective, many of Freud’s Psychoanalytic School techniques, such as the [free association method], can be seen as a downgraded form of[hypnosis], specifically for therapists who are not so skilled to intervene with those who are not easily hypnotized.
By the mid-twentieth century, Milton Erickson had re-integrated emerging psychotherapy and hypnosis techniques, which were later termed [Ericksonian Hypnosis] or [Modern Hypnosis], and Erickson was known as the “father of modern hypnosis.”
[Modern Hypnosis] places more emphasis on personalized hypnosis, focusing on empathy and bypassing the hypnotized person’s resistance. It employs various directive statements to tap into the subjects’ internal resources, allowing the visitor to grow.
Simultaneously,[Modern Hypnosis] can effectively deal with emotionally unstable visitors, redirecting their destructive resources to instead promote the hypnosis process.
From the above historical development, it can be simply summarized that the two most important factors influencing [hypnosis] are the[hypnotist] and the[hypnotized]—or the [consultant] and the[visitor].
And Nan Zhubin’s [Hypnosis Treatment·Basic]filled him with exaggerated qualities expected of a hypnotist.
Typically, a hypnotist needs to perform hypnosis in a quiet environment without distractions, using precise language skills, combined with the rhythm and tone of the voice, to provide suggestive language patterns, along with continuous guidance and deepening, to bring the hypnotized person into a hypnotic state.
This approach aligns with the[Modern Hypnosis]philosophy to seek the most suitable hypnotic suggestion mode for the current visitor, bypassing resistance, thus redirecting the visitor’s attention from the outside world to within.
Yet Nan Zhubin, with just one guidance and a snap of his fingers, could do this.
Using an extremely concise, almost beyond concise form of[Traditional Authoritative Hypnosis]to achieve the effect of[Modern Hypnosis].
However, no matter how skillful Nan Zhubin was, he could only change himself — he could not alter the visitor’s situation.
It’s like his[Micro-expression Analysis·Intermediate]is impressive, but if the other person wears thick clothing and covers their face, Nan Zhubin would be as helpless as a clawless lion.
Right now, the old man, his emotions at an extreme high point, coupled with the chaotic surrounding environment, would render even the top-ranked hypnotist in history unable to claim they could hypnotize him.
Typically, a hypnotized person needs to go through the stages of “relaxation guidance” and “suggestion deepening” before entering the truly hypnotized state ready for therapeutic intervention.
This old man probably exited during the “relaxation guidance,” considering he only spent less than two seconds in a trance due to Nan Zhubin’s action.
And once he regains his focus, the old man will definitely explode in even more overwhelming rage than before.
