Just as the public learned about psychological counseling from movies and TV plays, they also learned about hypnosis from TV plays.
If you want to understand hypnosis through film and television dramas, the hypnotist is the first one. Inception, who received rave reviews at the beginning, had hypnotic factors in it, such as dreamers who were not hypnotists.
Perhaps, compared with other TV series, Master Hypnosis is closer to real hypnosis, from floor patterns to suggestive wall charts, from the choice and placement of comfortable seats to the perspective of conversation between the two sides, the hourglass of timing, the hypnotic pocket watch, especially the hypnotic guide used by the protagonist in the play, hypnosis and anti-hypnosis. It can be seen that the screenwriter has really made some efforts in his profession.
There are also many people who think that hypnosis is to help them fall asleep, but although hypnosis and sleep are similar, they are completely different. Hypnosis needs the guidance of psychologists, counselors or hypnotists, who can transmit information to the subconscious, and the two sides will interact during hypnosis.
Hypnosis, as a therapeutic or counseling technique, can treat or solve some psychological problems, which sleep can't do, although sleep is a process of brain repair.
The brain waves in hypnotic state are similar to those in awake state.
So, do you still think hypnosis is to help you fall asleep?
The beginning of the film successfully shaped the image of a qualified psychologist. Dr. Xu, the protagonist, helped visitors to open and finally close the door connecting the past and reality, learned to forgive and accept the past "I", looked at the past with a developmental eye and shook hands with the past self.
There are two key words "fear" and "acceptance" throughout the film. Afraid of facing the trauma of the past again, blaming or even resenting the past self is just because it is impossible to accept the fact that the past has passed, and accepting also means forgiving and leaving the past and the past self in the past.
Aumund McGill divides hypnosis into conscious hypnosis and deep hypnosis. Conscious hypnosis is the appearance of the subconscious mind, and the consciousness of deep hypnosis is completely replaced by the subconscious mind, leading to sleepwalking.
Just like the growth of a psychological counselor, he needs supervision, consultation and consultation. In the film, both Dr. Xu and Dr. Gu experienced the process of hypnotizing and being hypnotized by others. In a sense, Professor Fang in the film also assumed the role of supervision, such as the sentence "He put it down, did you put it down?"
Maybe the screen shows the process of hypnosis. Just as the technology of psychological counseling or therapy has its applicability, so does hypnosis. Not all visitors are suitable for hypnotherapy, and some people are not allowed to hypnotize, such as schizophrenia or other serious mental diseases, serious cardiovascular diseases, and serious fear of hypnosis.
It is not necessarily a good thing to show the hypnosis process in this way. I don't mean to be mysterious here, but the audience in front of the screen, whether it is strong or weak, is very likely to be hypnotized for those who are easily hinted. If they are not awakened, or the hint is not lifted, the consequences are unpredictable.
Hypnosis, after all, is a double-edged sword, both good and bad. Humans have evolved to this day, and the body naturally chooses to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Hypnosis will reproduce the traumatic memories of the past in the subconscious state, and even what kind of trauma it will present is unknown, but in the conscious state, these memories are sealed.
Just like the line in the movie, "A person lies for a purpose or a reason." Consciousness seals, forgets or suppresses some memories for the same reason.
When these memories or experiences are opened again, we don't know whether they are beneficial or harmful.
In the film, Dr. Xu uncovered something that Ren Xiaoyan never dared to face in her memory, such as her boyfriend's car accident. Experienced Dr. Xu helps to deal with emotions timely and effectively under hypnosis.
Dr. Gu also opened Xu Ruining's unforgettable past through hypnosis. Of course, she also helped him "forgive himself". For example, she told him, "They all forgave you" and "No one can forgive you except yourself." This is not only a contest between experts, but also a way to help others help themselves.
Fortunately, the ending given by the film has no regrets.
For the past, maybe we should all learn to come out, close the door behind us and leave the past in the past.
