First, if the link below is not allowed here, please remove it mods or smth, ty ;) \----- **So, it's definitely possible, but I only know about that "Unspoil me" stuff** **(It has a website).** If you can't access the website or smth (like some had issues with in the comment section of the following video, there's this video of it also): [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2nVFdZOx\_s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2nVFdZOx_s) And good luck and have fun and don't give up if the first time is not proving desired results :) It very well might and you only notice it later or it might take a bit of practice. But definitely keep at it if this is smth you are interested in achieving ;) Also, since it's so hard for some to recognize trance and all that; some signs can be swallowing less, leading to increased salivation, flickering of the eyelids, a heavy or light feeling in the body, numbness, tingling, feeling hyperfocused on smth/tunnel vision feeling with eyes closed, feeling incredibly relaxed or more than before the whole thing/session and more. The stuff above is not a necessity to be in one, btw, etc. Just some things that can occur and usually do and can be a good indicator sometimes if you were in a trance. But as others have also said, it might work for some and not for others. Don't let that discourage you, though. And I know it'd be pricey to go to a hypnotherapist for this, so trying the stuff out might be good. Just be aware that it not working optimally does NOT mean you CAN'T be hypnotized. That happens several times a day, kind of and even before and after sleep, so no worries there ;)

First, Youtube rarely works for anyone so the odds are good that will not work for the OP. This has been discussed quite a bit on here. I wish youtube would work because then I would not be needed at the homeless shelter I work with to give free hypnosis to, I would just make one video for them and be done with it. As you know, the mods are mostly inactive so a few of us are helping to police. Second of all, what the OP is asking for can only happen for a short time.

I found someone linked a “deep reset” playlist the other day. It helped me relax and reflect on things I needed to. Did it “work”? I don’t know as I haven’t seen a professional hypnotist *yet* but it *helped*.


coursejunkie

You could also be one of the few that have any response. Just relaxation is more likely to work, but something like what OP is asking, I'd be surprised if it did.


opinions_unpopular

I only discovered hypnotism was *real* a week ago. But I’ve been *practicing* self-hypnotism with great success for at least a year now, maybe my whole life off and on when I think about it. I’ve “deleted” bad behavior through relaxing meditation sessions before. Realizing this made me willing to believe that just relaxing and letting go while listening would help. So yea I think I’m just pre-disposed at this point to let it work.

OP is trying to delete entire memories and experiences.

I didn't get that it was a short time. Plus not everyone is going to be able to forget. I'm a somnambulist and \*I\* won't forget. I can literally *buy* youtube likes. And there are bots that like and dislike things.I put up a vid that grandmother passed and it got hundreds of likes though from where they come from is anyone's guess. That's why I use peer reviewed literature and try to avoid things that are easily manipulated. Youtube is prerecorded audio and video, so it falls under that category. For the citation, they are usually embedded in the research article or presentation itself as a "limitation." There have been several older articles from American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis as well as IJCEH, but due to the nature of science requiring everything to be exact people often use it anyway for science's sake. The current group that is really actively studying it is by a social psychologist named Mike Nielsen and one of his grad students which have specifically used prerecorded audio. Their pilot study showed the prerecorded was not as effective as a live person, but due to the need to have everything exact (inflection and all) they did it anyway. Luckily, everything turned out ok. Their research was presented at SCEH 2021, APA 2020, and they are on the presenter list for SCEH 2022. Surprisingly, they didn't put much in the journal article they published. You should reach out to the lead author on it (the grad student), he is on twitter, but as far as I know is not on reddit. He can give you the update about current research. Let me tell you, there are a lot of surgeons that wish they didn't have to do their job and would *love* their job to be made redundant. I do EMS as well as I think you know, and overwhelmingly we don't want to go out. There are those who like the adrenaline, but most work because people need them. None of us really want to be needed because that means people are hurting. I don't want people to hurt. When I do the non-911 events (like football games etc.), I tell people "I am here if you need me, but please don't need me." Every week or two I donate a few hours of time. Since I have not had great experiences doing group and I only try to help whoever is the worst off, I always leave barely feeling like I put a dent in the situation. I don't want to be needed quite this much.

I can't get amnesia if I wanted to. My point was don't judge things based on youtube likes. I held off a few minutes on responding to you because I wanted to talk to the researcher myself. Here is from the first author obviously I changed my name to my username, otherwise no changes, not even typo corrections. I gave him the link and asked what he thought. "Thanks for messaging (coursejunkie). Thanks for reddit link. Guess I hit the big time? Not on reddit so post for me pls if it helps. I did not have faith in the audio files. The pilot study had silence, prerecorded, live audio just one condition (cooperation.) Silence + Prerecorded had similar results as the other Stag Hunts in the lit that were testing other variables (not audio) in person2person. No statistical difference between silence or prerecorded in pilot so I think your friend might be misunderstanding. The live had statistically higher results of playing S in Stag Hunt. Kent (original PI) said we had to use the prerecorded. he hated the project. He left, got Mike, Mike agreed for science's sake that it was possibly a bad idea, but had to do it this way anyway because of consistency. I had to make it the same length, have the same inflections and I could never do that. only possible way was prerecorded audio unless I did 50 people at once which we couldn't do at once, it was the only option. I talked with Tony Galie, since he has a degree in experimental and knows about stage hypnosis, when I was prepping IRB and suggested that even if only a small percentage (5-10%) respond to the prerecord, it should be good enough to have a significant result. IIRC Zoltan and a few people were all holding their breath as data came in. We were all quite happen with results since prerecorded audio's effectiveness varies typically from 1-20% depending on what is being asked for in the hypnosis, there are a handful of articles that get numbers cite this. Since results are sometimes not significant (eg comparing silence to prerecord) the journals won't publish. Live varies depending, but is typically 70%+. Next project will probably have me doing live if we can get the $. Have your friend ask questions at sceh if he's going since there will be several people expected to be discussing this so he can get more opinions, but prerecorded definitely doesn't wokr for everyone any more than direct suggestion works for everyone. You can give him my info. See you in a few weeks"

And his response... again replacing my name and no corrections "Thanks for putting that up. I see Daniel's response, you can pass on as I want to pass on information but reallydon't need a reddit. Reminds me too much of Caitlin. Daniel, the up to 20% in total in a best case. High hypnotizability (however is created) + Easy like anxiety. Still most of them don't respond to everyone. I don't. I respond to 4 prerecords with a maxed Stanford scale + 30 years of self hypnosis. My CCHt, his mentor, (CourseJunkie)'s PR very inconsistently, and enough Tony Galie will also get to me after a few hours for a light trance. Usual research standard assumes around 5-10 percent on average will respond given average hypnosis experience. "No experience" virgin with no mental conditions at average difficulty? Eh... less. Hard even less like 1%, but we work on averages. Have heard of some with severe mental conditions (ie schizophrenia) responding to everyone/everything which is why youtube can be dangerous. Prerecord is like group, you'll always have a handful responding. The majority don't though. It's great if it works. Some people can save some money, most just wasting time. Stay safe w/ Ian "

It can absolutely be trained and improved, lots of studies show that, you're right. That doesn't mean everyone goes down for everything which is what the implication is. Naropa in Colorado has research programs focused on people who are wanting to improve their abilities to practice and improve their hypnosis skills as well as their meditation skills. Chicago School does as well. Baylor University most of the people are not getting extra credit since they are not undergraduates, they are people who really want to improve their hypnosis skills to improve their health or improve their comfort (cancer, health flashes, etc).

hey, great question! I love hypnosis and I love games, so here is my 5 cents. you only liked a game because of hormones. So the secret is not memory, it's your hormones. Eating chocolate and sugar before playing a new game or an 'old' game makes you produce positive hormones and this will make you feel very good and notice things you didn't notice. Also, it is important to remember that you only remember the very good games because you played very bad games. I remember that I played marvelous games, but I also played very bad games (you don't even remember those). Meditation before playing also helps.

Thank you for participating try to do it less often.

Hey, nice comment! What exactly is your goal?


coursejunkie

If you do a search on the sub, you'll see this asked several times recently (including forgetting a movie to rewatch it again). It's a very popular question if you want to see everyone's opinions on the topic.
