Q1. Why do you think the mind body relationship has been a divided on in Western society? What impact has this division had on peoples' attitude about health care?
A1. The mind and body has been divided in western society to, due to the focus on science, scientific and industrial breakthrough. Also the western cultural bias associated with accepted disciplines in medicine dismisses the power of the mind often held in such high esteem in eastern cultures throughout the world. Methodologies used in industrial endeavour, have crossed over to health care, surgical techniques are tested in experiments.
Q2. What does "responsibility for one's health" mean? Do you agree or disagree with those who claim that all sickness is psychogenic? Why or why not? If you get a cold and people ask you, "Why do you let yourself get sick," how do you answer? Is it a reasonable question?
A2. With mind and body as one system, the ability to receive suggestions that may place undue stress on the psyche could cause sickness. Responsibility for ones own health is proactively looking after one's mind and body. Sharpness and acuity of mind can be assisted by a healthy body. I agree that some sickness is psychogenic, others such as smoking related cancer obviously is substance related.
It is a reasonable question to suggest by asking that a person has let frames create stress which may manifest as sickness. Overworked people and those with insufficient ability to program coping mechanisms may become sick due to societal pressures.
Q3. What ways can you think of to apply hypnosis in addition to those mentioned in this chapter? How might you encourage people working in that specific area to employ hypnotic methods?
A3. Parents with children? Start up a practice suggesting hypnotic parenting guidelines.
Q4. Are there any context in which hypnosis should not be used? What is the basis of your response?
A4. As a lay person to create physiological changes.
Q5. What are the implications of calling hypnosis a "tool" and not a "therapy"?
A5. Clinicians can use it as flexibly as they wish integrating it into their repertoire. Therapy implies people are sick, tool implies a useful item to adjust an entity.
