Chapter 4 - Responding to Misconceptions - Things To Do

Q1. Take peers on a "trust-walk" in which you lead them around while they have their eyes closed. What feelings do they become aware of?

A1. To be completed.

Q2. Interview hypnotists in your area and ask them what percentage of people cannot be hypnotised. What reasons do they give?

A2. To be completed.



Q3. Find books that contain entire script for interventions and choose a script of particular interest to read closely. What sort of person would this script be ideal for? Why?

A3. I chose 'He who hesitates is lost: A metaphor for decision making' by Michael D. Yapko

I chose this metaphor script as being particular useful to a person who was not aware of hypnosis or did not want a formal induction, is could be used to in everyday interpersonal communication. It's short and succinct. Could be delivered in front of a group too.
