I found some on the Internet, let’s take a look before talking about it. Hypnosis has been around for a long time, although the name hypnosis is not often used. Hypnosis is both an art and a science. (Description of ancient hypnotic scenes) The use of hypnosis was very common in primitive civilizations. Evidence shows that hypnosis existed in prehistoric times and was spread orally in rituals. In fact, as early as 3,000 years ago, hieroglyphics found in ancient tombs recorded that the Egyptians used hypnosis in sleep temples that combined healing and religion. Ancient Greeks, Mayans, Indians, and Chinese religious teachers, ancient Persian monks, Celtic Druid monks, and African witches understood and used hypnosis in medicine and ritual. The Jewish holy book Talmud and the Indian Vedas all record the detailed guidance process that we now consider to be hypnosis. Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine, also wrote many things about hypnosis. From time immemorial to modern times, the science and art of hypnosis, hypnotic therapy is unique and has proven benefits. Knowledge about the subconscious and subconscious mind was held by the elite, but not for long. It is quite possible that the first hypnotist was the first wizard, seeker and saint, sage and physician. High Priest and so on. However, suspicion and absurd beliefs have blinded it, and it has been labeled as mystery, magic, animal magnetism, divine power, spiritualism, religion and today's faith healing. (Ancient Hypnosis Charts) In the process from unscientific to scientific, thousands of people have studied, revised and developed hypnosis and hypnotherapy together. These celebrities who studied hypnosis include: The most controversial pioneer of hypnosis is the 18th-century physician and lifestyle expert Mesmer. Most people call him the father of hypnosis. Hypnosis at that time was called Mesmerism, which comes from his surname, and it is still used today. Mozart was Mesmer's promoter, and he encouraged Mesmer to buy a hotel in Paris. And become a performer to show off his healing. Become an art and a career. Mesmer got the point right. Mesmer used music in his dramatic performances and twirled magnetized iron rods to create magic in the presence of highly suggestive volunteers and lights. (Mesmer treatment picture) Surrounded by magnetized water, iron filings, and glass, the patient held one end of the iron rod and waited for Mesmer's cure. Mesmer's drama caused a storm in France, so King Louis XVI of France sent a commission to investigate Mesmer before he was beheaded. Among them is the well-known Benjamin. Franklin (discoverer of electricity). The scientist sealed Mesmer's fate, declaring that Mesmer's magnetism was a hoax. And the announcement that Mesmail's cure was based on nothing more than imagination. But there is no explanation as to why those who enter the trance are healed. Modern people can understand from this damaging report that the therapeutic effect does not come from Mesmail or magnetism, but is produced under the guidance of hypnosis. Very sadly, Mesmer did not understand that his healing power came from the subconsciousness of the other party caused by the hypnotic language. Mesmer was therefore driven out of Vienna, Austria, and forced to leave Paris and come to Switzerland, where he lived quietly and modestly until his death (1815). In 1780, Chastenet de Puysegur, the Marquis of Bisquet, was a student and follower of Mesmer. He conducted many hypnotic experiments, but like Mesmer, he also believed that hypnosis came from a supernatural mysterious force - magnetism. After Messmer continued to study hypnosis, he named the state of somnambulism he discovered after somnambulism, which is a deep hypnotic state. This word is still used today and has a profound influence on hypnosis. Hypnosis in 1800 AD Around 1815, in Paris, Abbot Jose Castodi de Faria was the first experimenter to scientifically study hypnosis. He also informed others that the other person would not enter a trance state against their will. . In other words, it has been known for two hundred years that hypnosis does not control anyone. He also developed the fixation-gaze method. It is based on the eye fixation technique, which is still used today and works very well. It was widely used in stage hypnosis, television and movies from the 1930s to the 1950s.
Two films influenced the public's understanding of the errors of hypnosis, Svengali (1931) and Bridey Murphy of The Search (1956). In other words, most modern people’s understanding of hypnosis is mostly wrong. John Elliotson John Elliotson is a professor at the University of London School of Medicine and president of the Royal Society of Medicine and Surgery in London. Around 1837, he discovered in his experiments that patients could undergo important surgical operations without pain while under hypnosis. He has many successful reports on the use of hypnosis for surgery, with a total of 1834 cases. Emile Coue Emile Coue, a pharmacist. Known as the father of autosuggestion. He believed that there was no suggestion, only autosuggestion, to put it another way; all hypnosis was self-hypnosis. All hypnosis is to guide the other person to self-hypnotize. He also developed his most famous self-advice and helpful affirmation: Every day, in every way, I get better and better. Dr. James Braid (1785-1860) Dr. James Braid greatly improved hypnosis by developing an alternative eye-fixation technique that used light to create eye fatigue. He believed that hypnosis relied on the individual's susceptibility to suggestion. Experiments allowed him to discover how to increase and influence the level of trance. Suggested by the hypnotist's voice. This is called suggestion mode and is still widely used today. He first published the word hypnosis in 1843 and discovered waking hypnosis in 1848, which comes from the Greek word for sleep. He later tried unsuccessfully to change the name. He has used only hypnotic analgesia in thousands of surgical cases. (1825-1893 Jean Charcot) French neuroscientist and founder of the Salpetriere school, he later formed a group with Birmingham, the founder of the Southwestern College, to study hypnosis at the New Southwestern College. However, the two schools of thought continued to argue. Charcot once believed that hypnosis could only occur in mentally ill patients. Before his death in 1893, Charcot admitted that his view was wrong. However, the dispute with the Southwestern school triggered the emergence of modern psychology. Growth and establishment of dynamics. Although Schacco's theory was wrong, it had a great influence on the psychoanalytic school founded by Freud. The core concept of Freud's subconscious theory comes from his concept of the Second Mind. The study of sex was also unintentionally inspired by Shakau. A more detailed part will be written in a separate article - the relationship between hypnosis and psychoanalysis. (1837-1919 Hippolyte Bernheim) Hippolyte Birmingham, French neuroscientist and professor of medicine at the University of Southwestern. Hypnosis is considered a special form of sleep. In hypnosis, the subject's attention is focused on the hypnotist's suggestions, thus reinforcing the psychological nature of the hypnotic process. It has been proved that the occurrence of hypnotic phenomena is related to suggestion, so both mental patients and normal people can enter a hypnotic state. He proposed the theory of "suggestion" to explain the shamanic and miraculous healing practices that were prevalent at the time. He pointed out that the main difference between religion and medicine is that the latter can now scientifically explain the mechanism of treatment and enhance the use of "suggestibility" that was uncontrollable by patients in the past to fight against diseases. It also had a significant impact and change on modern hypnosis technology. In the mid-1860s, Ambrose. August. When Dr. Ambroise August Liebeault consults, patients can choose to pay for medication or receive hypnosis for free. There was a patient with sciatica who was originally treated by Birmingham, a professor at the university hospital, but it didn't work for a long time. Later, he used hypnosis to cure it. As a result, the highly respected Burnham began to cooperate with Lai Bo. Their hypnosis clinic has treated more than 12,000 patients, and has also attracted many important people to visit. Hypnosis in the 20th century During the Second World War in the 20th century, many soldiers died due to the war after the war. Being traumatized causes great mental disturbance. At that time, psychotherapy was time-consuming and lengthy, resulting in a shortage of therapists, and great emphasis was placed on the speed and effectiveness of hypnosis. Dentists use hypnotic anesthesia during treatment, and dental and medical associations in some countries endorse the use of hypnosis in regulated situations.
In fact, the British Medical Association (BHA) and the British Hypnosis Society license hypnotherapy for medical purposes. In 1958, the American Medical Association (AMA) issued a statement supporting hypnotherapy and the use of hypnosis in medicine. Among the hypnosis researchers in the 20th century, there were many doctors, physicians and true scientific masters. These people are full of legendary stories. Includes:, a psychiatrist.

Elman's motivation to learn hypnosis came when his father suffered from cancer when he was eight years old. I suffer from the pain of cancer every day. Once, a stage hypnotist visited Elman's house and within a short period of time, he stopped the old Elman's pain. Elman was able to play with his father.
