Today I had a very interesting phenomenon happen with a client. This client is
in her 50's and has a lifetime history of dyslexia and ADHD. She is on Ritalin
and it seems to be working for her. She came to me for pain control and weight
loss.
After our pre-talk, she lay down on the massage table (with a foam rubber egg
crate underneath the sheet). I keep this set up in my office for the many people
who come to me with pain issues as sometimes, lying down is the only comfortable
position for them where they can truly let their muscle tensions release. I set
the big teddy bear (named "Trance Bear") upside down under her knees to keep her
in "neutral" back position.
Here is where the interesting thing happened!! After a quick and easily entered
Elman induction I started inducing glove anesthesia to her left hand. Her right
hand got cold and numb when in hypnosis although the left hand was directed to
get numb. No problem once she mentioned it. I just said "Yes, that's right" now
transfer that numbness with a river of anesthesia to your foot (which is where
here pain was today).
The hypnosis session went well with her foot still being comfortable upon
emerging. Interesting indeed!!
