Hypnotic insomnia

Treatment for the relief of insomnia depends largely on post-hypnotic suggestion: "You will be very tired when you go to bed—while undressing you will become very sleepy—the moment your head touches the pillow your eyelids will be heavy—your arms and legs will be heavy—you will breathe deeply—you will immediately fall sound asleep and enjoy restful sleep throughout the night."

It should also be impressed upon the patient that sleep must be effortless. As soon as he tries to go to sleep, his efforts tend to tense him, and thus prevent the relaxation essential to sleep. This should be stressed, after the suggestive treatment, before the patient leaves your office. Explain this fact to him and then assure him, in a tone of absolute confidence, that he will go right to sleep to-night—you have given him the hypnotic suggestions which will put him to sleep immediately, when he goes to bed.

You should follow up your treatment with some hints about the technique of self-hypnosis outlined in Chapter Ten, so that the patient can learn to "do the trick" for himself night after night, when you are not there to help him.

Hypnotic smoking

Millions of people suffer from the effects of undesirable habits, such as excessive smoking, drinking, etc. Multitudes of these individuals go through life with decreased efficiency, distraught nerves, and a sense of futility and frustration. They are unable to break the compelling force of negative habit by themselves. They need help; but do not know where to find it. Many appeal to their physicians. But, unless the physician has learned to use hypnotism, there is little he can do except give good advice; and every doctor knows that good advice is of little value in cases of excessive smoking or alcoholism. The victim knows the habit is injurious; he is desperately anxious to stop; but cannot do so. Through hypnotic suggestion, he can be helped.

For example, an excessive smoker is told, while under hypnosis, that the cigar or cigarette he is smoking does not taste good. You may say, "It stinks—it is bitter—it tastes bad—throw it away—here, wash your mouth out (with a real or imaginary glass of water). Now every time you put one in your mouth it will turn your stomach—you will lose your taste for smoking—you will no longer want to smoke—you are through with smoking!"

Having thus implanted the negative idea, you will now proceed to the positive phase of the treatment, something as follows: "You have decided that you are through with smoking—you will lose the desire to smoke—you are strong—you are powerful—you have perfect command—from now on you will demonstrate that you are stronger than this habit—no force can break down your iron determination—every time you refuse to smoke, it will be easier the next time to say, 'No!'—the habit is broken!" Use a strong, commanding tone in giving these suggestions.

To test the patient you may offer him a smoke after he is awake. If he starts to put it in his mouth, stop him and say quietly, "I don't think you had better put that in your mouth—it will not taste good—forget it—you don't need to smoke now—when you start to take a smoke again stop and think how much better you will feel if you throw it away—the more often you do this, the less you will want to smoke, and you will soon be entirely cured of the habit." These suggestions will impress upon the conscious mind the suggestions already given to the subconscious, thus forming another constructive association of ideas.

Hypnotic sexual disorders

As every doctor knows, sexual difficulties are so many and varied that it would be impossible to go into any detail in suggesting specific treatment in the limited scope of this work. It is desirable to locate causes for every sexual disorder. The nature of the cause will largely determine the nature of the suggestions to be used.

For example, a patient suffers from homosexual tendencies: your preliminary analysis of the patient's history convinces you that the condition is acquired, rather than congenital, and therefore subject to cure. Your suggestions will then be to the effect that the patient really is not homosexual—his tendency is merely the result of certain experiences he has had that have tended to deviate his sex desires from the normal object—that contact with his own sex is repugnant to him—he derives no real satisfaction, etc.

This is especially true in cases of frigidity. Almost all authorities are agreed now that very few women are really frigid. The causes of the apparent frigidity may be many: misguided teaching by parents or other adults resulting in the idea that everything pertaining to sex is vile, filthy and should be strictly repressed; premature sex experience with its attendant sense of guilt; the husband's lack of knowledge of how to perform the sex act so as to achieve mutual satisfaction, etc.

Once the cause has been located, the character of suggestions used to produce the desired result is obvious. For example: "You will cease to think of sex as something vile which you must repress—you are completely a normal woman, and possess natural and strong sexual desire—you will respond to your husband's love-making without any resistance or repression—you will find complete satisfaction in your marital relations— your sexual thoughts will be dominated by the idea of beauty and love—you will find the sex relation natural and beautiful."

Impotence in the male is another sexual condition for which the physician is frequently called upon to prescribe a remedy. Wilhelm Stekel in his important work Psychic Impotence claims that most cases diagnosed as impotence are in reality merely psychic impotence. The span of man's virility, according to Stekel, is from the cradle to the grave. Some single experience, or several negative influences, creates in the sufferer's mind the fear of impotence, and this fear inhibits the normal sexual development. Remove the fear, or other negative associations, and normal functioning returns. If this be so, and Stekel's claims have received wide support, hypnotism should clearly be a strongly indicated treatment for this condition. First clear up the cause, then proceed, as above, with suggestions that he will demonstrate complete virility, etc.
