Here's a no-brainer for you . . . well, something obvious at least to anyone versed in hypnosis, neurolinguistic programming, or experiential trancework . . . words can and do trigger painful memories. At least science is validating what has been considered a bit of a truism for some time . . . we now have the brain studies to back up what has been a basic assumption for some time.
"Watch out, it'll hurt for a second." Not only children but also many adults get uneasy when they hear those words from their doctor. And, as soon as the needle touches their skin the piercing pain can be felt very clearly. "After such an experience it is enough to simply imagine a needle at the next vaccination appointment to activate our pain memory," knows Prof. Dr. Thomas Weiss from the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena.
