Hypnosis and suicide are linked in Florida Principal case although felony charges have been avoided. Here is a case in Florida that shows a perfect example of why hypnosis should be used very carefully.

The charges against Mr. Kenney are; unlawful practice of hypnosis. More serious charges could be filed if he has been involved in treatment of some kind with hypnosis.

However, even with the lesser charges, it does seem a little odd that two students he used hypnosis on have committed suicide and I am concerned about that. The Boston Globe reported on this breaking news (hypnosis/suicide).

Hypnosis and Suicide?

NORTH PORT, Florida—A Florida high school principal accused of using of hypnosis on students entered a written plea of not guilty to two misdemeanor charges on Thursday.

George Kenney, 52, was charged earlier this week with two counts of unlawful practice of hypnosis.

Officials say George Kenney hypnotized two North Port High students before the two, independently of one another, committed suicide last year. Officials say Kenney had been warned by his boss to stop using such one-on-one hypnosis with students.

But Kenney's attorney, Mark Zimmerman, said that the principal's supervisor only expressed concern and never gave him a written directive to stop the hypnosis. Kenney, who currently is on administrative duty not at the school, plans to retire from the school district at the end of the school year, Zimmerman said.

Kenney is not guilty because the law requires proof that the hypnosis was for therapeutic purposes and that wasn't the reason for the hypnosis, Zimmerman said.

"The purpose always was to either boost athletic performance or academic performance," Zimmerman said. "My interpretation of therapeutic is that implies a form of treatment. He wasn't treating anybody."

Prosecutors decided not to file felony charges of unlicensed practice of health care. The misdemeanor charges of unlicensed practice of hypnosis carry a maximum of up to a year in jail.

Hypnosis Should Be Used Carefully

It is true that hypnosis can be used for improving concentration and boosting performance in class or in sports. However, I feel it isn't right to use any kind of hypnosis on a student unless the parents sign a waiver of some kind. It just doesn't make sense to me and I hope to be able to find out how hypnosis and suicide are linked in Florida Principal case.

NLP Hypnosis: Clinical Hypnosis

October 21, 2011 By David Van Arrick

Clinical hypnosis is the interaction of a hypnotist with the sub-conscious mind of the person being hypnotized, which plays an integral role in his treatment. In most cases, only qualified physicians can perform such hypnosis since they have the required knowledge about the mental state of a patient at a given time.

Of late, clinical hypnosis has assumed tremendous importance in view of the fact that people visit trained hypnotists to tackle their problems like smoking, drinking and various others. This method of hypnosis at a clinic is proved to be successful to control obesity as well.

How Does Clinical Hypnosis Work?

Most of us believe that clinical hypnosis is a process in which the hypnotist whitewashes the patient's brain and gives the brain a kind of a new beginning. It is not so. Hypnosis involves a huge time to show effects, and requires total co-ordination and co-operation from the person who is being treated. It is for this why the attitude of the patient is very important for proper treatment. In many cases, quite some sittings are required to achieve what the hypnotist had set out for. It all depends on the patient's willingness to co-operate and accept the various positive suggestions that the hypnotist may recommend, and more positive the patient's attitude, more sooner can the goal be achieved. For patients who wish to get rid of bad habits like smoking and drinking, extreme patience from the side of the patient is required for the result to be achieved.

Therapeutic hypnosis is the name given to such a treatment involving a hypnotist for the purpose. In comparison, self hypnosis involves the hypnosis of the subject on his own, by reading materials provided on a CD or on the internet. In case of clinical hypnosis, on the other hand, the hypnotist completely understands the patients mental status and works on it. Remember to select an expert hypnotist for the purpose of treatment, as because the involvement of an inexperienced hypnotist may lead to extreme kind of reactions. So an expert in the field is always beneficial for the patient.

When Should Clinical Hypnosis Be Used?

Most people who wish to quit their habits of drinking and smoking opt for this kind of treatment. It is believed that a chunk of the income that hypnotists get is from patients who wish to get rid of their smoking and drinking habits. Presently, there is not enough material to support the treatment of serious diseases like diabetes, cancer, etc., by clinical hypnosis, but clinical hypnosis can surely be used by cancer patients to lessen the pain that they experience.

Covert Hypnosis Techniques Anyone Can Learn

September 30, 2011 By David Van Arrick Leave a Comment

covert hypnosis

There are many programs that claim to offer covert hypnosis techniques anyone can learn but if you are as skeptical as I was at first you will want to do some research before buying into these claims. The article below comes from a site that does offer a covert hypnosis program however I was more interested in their explanations of covert hypnosis and the information they present to support what a hypnotist needs to do.

I like the way they presented this information and that it is not geared towards sexual seduction or other inappropriate uses. When you read the article below (covert hypnosis) you will realize that there are covert hypnosis techniques anyone can learn.

Covert Hypnosis

"Covert Hypnosis also known as conversational hypnosis is the process in which one gains control over the others mind without their knowledge just by making conversations by the listener’s subconscious mind. The ultimate aim here is to change the opinion of the person in question by manipulating their thoughts and making them do things your way."

"In this process the hypnotizer changes the thought pattern of the people, their behavior, emotions and perception of life on a subconscious level. Unlike with conventional hypnotherapy sessions covert hypnosis does not involve closing of the eyes or any kind of moving pendulum or strange hand gestures."

Suggestive Commands

"The commands or suggestions given by the person hypnotizing to the person being hypnotized are more of a metaphor and presented in an indirect fashion, although in certain cases they are also given directly. Stories are one of the tools of covert hypnosis which can be effectively used to convey your actual message across and help remember it with much more probability."

"The initial step in covert hypnosis though is to build a rapport with the listener. It is easy to do it with friends and family but also not that difficult to do it with strangers. All you have to do is use some compliment on them or laugh at their jokes to build a comfort level with your unknown listener. It is not necessary that you go too deep into building a connection with your listener."

Building Rapport

"The next step after building a rapport with the person to be hypnotized you have to try and switch off the listener’s critical mind. It is nothing but diverting the listener’s mind from its normal thinking state to an imaginary thinking state. You can always start by using some scenarios and asking them questions like “What if…” or “Imagine this…” This immediately shuts off their critical mind and lets their imagination dominate their thought process."

"After successfully taking the listener off his/her critical mindset you may now make your irresistible commands and describe the things you want him/her to do. The effectiveness of this method depends on a lot of things that you put in to it. It depends on the way you transform their mind from critical thinking to imagination and the kind of statements you make to convince them well enough to perform the task you give them."

Covert Hypnosis Is Easy

I used to be skeptical about the covert hypnosis techniques but I've actually used it myself many times and now I can honestly say there are effective covert hypnosis techniques anyone can learn to use in any situation.

Hypnosis Techniques Exposed

When we talk about hypnosis techniques, depending on the audience we may be discussing technique on many levels. Let me explain a bit.

Hypnosis Techniques, and I do mean ALL hypnosis techniques are based on certain principles of how the mind works. Of course THAT in and of itself is a sticking point for many people because their are many schools of thought on "how" the mind actually works, and… fortunately or unfortunately…

All the systems seem to work to some degree.

So to truly discuss hypnotic techniques we have to delve a little deeper. We have to go "beyond" what any one school of how the mind works teaches us and look at things a little differently.

That brings us to the study of "hypnotic operators"

Hypnotic Operators are phenomena that have the capacity to modify a persons current state of mind. In other words they can, in effect cause some form of change in the mental and emotional state of our subject thereby moving them into a state of "acceptable selective thinking" which satisfies our working definition of hypnosis which is…

"The bypass of the critical factor of the conscious mind and the establishment of acceptable selective thinking."

When we are discussing covert and conversational hypnosis we are strategically selecting techniques that secretly bypass or reorient the critical factor of the conscious mind and covertly create within the mind of subject an opening through which we can implant ideas or influence behaviors

Hypnosis Techniques as a Rule Fall Into One of Several Categories"

Remedial/Therapeutic Hypnosis Techniques: These might include but are not limited to…

Hypnosis Techniques for Weight loss

Hypnosis Techniques for Quitting Smoking

Hypnosis Techniques for Self Confidence

Hypnosis Techniques for Fear of Public Speaking

Hypnosis Techniques For Controlling Pain

Hypnosis techniques have also been used successfully for hundreds of years to help with more serious medical conditions such as

Surgical anesthesia

Terminal Cancer

Tooth Extraction (pain control and dental phobia removal)

Treatment of Alcoholism and other Substance abuse problems

Insomnia

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

The Next Category of Hypnosis Techniques are called

Generative Hypnosis Techniques:

Generative hypnosis techniques are not aimed at "Fixing" Something we perceive as being "broken" or pathological in our subject. Rather generative hypnosis techniques are designed to take something, an attribute, a skill set, attitude, etc that is already working the way we want it to and to enhance it or make it better.

Generative Hypnosis Applications Might Include:

Performance Enhancement
- Athletics,
- mnemonic,
- musical,
- dramatic .

Recreational: as in
- stage hypnosis
- erotic hypnosis techniques
