This presentation will explore a recently proposed theory of hypnosis called the Adaptive Experiential theory and ways this theory can help you do your work more effectively. This new theory is a dual-process model that provides a comprehensive understanding of the rational system and the experiential system. While these two systems work together in synergy, they function quite differently in terms of their characteristics and methods. The rational system is influenced by logic and reason, demands significant cognitive resources, and operates with concentrated effort. On the other hand, the experiential system is powered by emotions, relies on associations, and encodes reality through images and feelings effortlessly. According to the adaptive experiential theory, the ability to engage in complex hypnotic responses can be attributed to an individual's capacity to adaptively shift from processing predominantly via rational system to the experiential system. Having a stronger association with the experiential system leads to changes in how reality is processed, enabling hypnotic suggestions to be internalized, reified, and put into action with less interference from the rational system. This presentation will focus on the implications this theory has for the clinical use of hypnosis emphasizing the idea that content and language of hypnotic suggestions matter.
