A recent study found a significant effect of placebo on women with sexual dysfunction. This ties in very well with what we know about the benefits of hypnosis and suggestion for helping to resolve sexual issues (let alone creating beneficial sexual responses or just having fun). The study – Correlates of Placebo Response in the…

Suggestibility as Attribute and Skill and Context-Sensitive Thingie

I meet so many hypnotists who were trained to believe that suggestibility is a cut and dried proposition of a never changing characteristic that never varies for an individual throughout their lifetime regardless of age, circumstance, or trance event context.
