Negative Hypnotic Suggestions
Negative suggestions employ a sort of "reverse psychology" approach when they are used skillfully. Negative suggestions may obtain a response by suggestion the person NOT to respond in the desired way.
When used deliberately and in a skillful way, negative suggestions can be most worthwhile. The following are examples of negative suggestions. Notice what your internal experience is as you slowly read each of them.
Do not think of your favorite color.
Do not allow yourself to wonder what time it is.
I would suggest that you not notice that sensation in your leg.
Please try not to notice which of your friends is the most materialistic.
All too often, negative suggestions are employed naively and accidentally, generating an undesired response that may leave the practitioner wondering what went wrong.
If a hypnotist says (with great sincerity and with the intention of
comforting the person ), "Don't worry about it, just put it out of
your mind", the person is then most probably going to feel sorry
and think
about "it".
