In Neuro-Linguistic Programming (and hypnosis, I'm pretty sure), this is known as a "trigger". You can create arbitrary ones yourself by, e.g., touching yourself in a certain place (say touching the tips of your forefinger and thumb together) a couple times when a certain emotion occurs. After the trigger is set, touching the same place will trigger the emotion. (Kind of a simplistic explanation.)
- Ardit20 18y agoIsn't that conditional learning? Pavlov; stimuli, the dog salivates. Was not aware that hypnosis uses it though, sounds rather strange to me that hypnosis uses conditional learning.
- jscn 18y agoYeah it's basically the same thing. Hypnosis, as far as I can tell, is a grab bag of techniques (much like NLP) and anchoring/triggers is/are definitely used. For instance, some trance inductions involve interrupting a trigger/pattern before it can complete (i.e., the handshake interrupt). Anchoring a command or suggestion to a physical trigger can help cement it, too.
