- VeninVidiaVicii 2y agoThanks for putting in the work to locate this. Sadly, nothing is italicized in that passage so it’s not as awesome as it might be. Edit: Using your link I found the same story elsewhere with emphasis added https://www.noigroup.com/noijam/hypnotic-anaesthesia/ https://www.noigroup.com/noijam/hypnotic-anaesthesia/
- PaulHoule 2y agoI would watch out for the technique of picking out words to emphasize. It impresses NLP trainers (necessary if you want to get the $1200 course for free) but makes you come across like a bad pickup artist. Ericsson had a really strange voice and also had the social advantage of being presented as a miracle worker. As I see it, hypnosis is the applied placebo effect, and the social position of the participants, be it stage hypnosis or therapy, is a big part in how well it works.
