Trust Versus Status: Hypnotising the Mammalian Brain


By William T Batten

In the triune model, the reptilian brain (the basal ganglia) makes up the physical core of the human brain. Layered around that is the later-to-evolve mammalian cortices. Since hypnosis influences the subject's entire mind, it pays to know how the mammalian brain (the limbic system) helps and hinders the trance process.

Like the basal ganglia, this is not one system but a series of related lobes. They enable a huge range of functions, all of which we'd consider as part of what it means to be human.

Firstly, there's the amygdala. This part of the brain influences your attention, making it of interest to hypnotists. In particular, it controls which stimuli you pay attention to and which ones you don't. It scans the environment for surprising events, ready to activate emotions like fear.

The amygdala is probably responsible for the extreme suggestibility that follows a shock. This is why police like to order people to get down after kicking down the door. When surprised, your mind goes blank. It defers decision-making to the authoritative commands, so people find themselves dropping before they're even aware of it. From a hypnotic perspective, many inductions (such as the handshake induction) use surprise to induce this state. From there, the subjects accept a simple command like 'sleep'.

Not just physical threats and surprises engage the amygdala. It's closely involved with social processing, meaning that it registers facial expressions, body language and signs of status. Humour - a form of social surprise - relies on the amygdala too. This might be why hypnotists tend to like puns and jokes. When someone laughs, they're halfway to trance.

The limbic system also includes the hippocampus. Like the amygdala, the hippocampus controls a range of interesting functions. It's mainly used in spatial processing, something hypnotists exploit with techniques like guided visualisations. It also plays a key role in learning.

There are other features of the mammalian brain. Even so, these two components tell us a lot about hypnosis. Unconsciously, subjects constantly assess you. If you are physically or socially threatening, they'll shut down. On the other hand, they'll respond to warmth and authority. Surprise them and make them laugh. If you want them to learn, ask them to imagine pleasant scenes.

Compared to solitary lizards, mammals tend to be social creatures. It's no surprise that the mammalian brain focuses so much on the social reality. Embrace this reality and you'll reach them in entirely new ways.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
