Hypnosis Glossary of Terms - E

Emotional and Physical Sexuality

The theory of human behavior based upon the idea that an individual's behavior is developed by that person's secondary caretaker. Sexuality is a kind of continuum, with 100% Emotionals or Physicals on either end and the different combinations of the two falling everywhere in the middle.

Emotional Sexuals

Feel their sexual responses inwardly. The use their emotions to draw attention away from their bodies. Their priorities in life are career, hobbies, relationships and family, then a mistress and friendships.

Physical Sexuals

Project their sexual responses outwardly. They use their bodies to draw attention away from their emotions, which they feel are vulnerable. Their priorities in life are their relationship, children, friends and hobbies, then career.

Environmental Hypnosis

A state of hypersuggestibility, triggered when an individual is in the presence of an overabundance of message units coming from their environment. This causes the person to try to escape the intense input. A kind of "walking hypnosis."

Eye Accessing Cues

An NLP technique of observing the unconscious eye movement to determine if a subject is mentally seeing images, hearing sounds, engaging in self-dialogue or experiencing kenisethic feelings.

Eye Fascination Induction

This is used when a Hypnotherapist notices during the interview that a client's eyes tend to fade or blink repeatedly. The client is asked to stare at an object above eye level. The therapist speaks rapidly and paternally, telling the client their eyelids are getting heavier and beginning to close. When they close, the therapist touches the client on the forehead, says Deep Sleep, then pushes the client's hands off his lap to create a loose, limp feeling in his body.
