Frustration of Cause???

Now in the past few weeks I have come across this term several times. First in the video from Stephen Brooks on HypnoSummit, and in a parallel discussion and practical demonstration in a impromptu text trance with Dan, I had no idea what it was, till that evening, lol. I told Dan that I had to watch out not to follow the client into trance while watching the video... Dan was explaining to me what Stephen Brooks was doing and used the knowledge, that I was watching Brooks holding his client at bay, not allowing her to enter trance too quickly...etc. to tell me that I had to wait for Brooks to allow his client to actually learn how to do it on her own, on the cue "Now..."....lol

I found it quite an interesting technique and even in the text, it sure worked its magic on me. Now having been a subject on which this was used, I can understand the effect it has on the person being hypnotized. By not allowing the subject to enter into trance right away, it creates not only a expectation for what may lie on the 'other side' but also an excitement for when it actually happens. It may even further the subjects willingness to follow suggestions, as the overload of input seems to create a longing just escape into state... to follow any suggestion that takes you away from that frustrating 'wanna go now " desire.... to just doing it.

I wonder if anyone else would like to add to this, maybe with more explanation of the technique or the 'science' behind it... or some great stories to further illustrate the idea.

Thanks,
Aino
