Mechanisms empathetic and emotional harmony in the hypnotic relationship.
Marco Chisotti
The discovery of so-called mirror neurons, in addition to simple visual motor neurons that have properties, have been discovered that different neurons respond both when a person performing a particular action and when the observations made by another person. The identification of these neurons focuses on the concept of empathy, which is a key element of any form of psychotherapy. In hypnosis, clinical hypnosis in particular, the aspect of empathy, the so-called interpersonal relations, has always been held responsible for the development of any form of therapy.
According to Milton Erickson "an attitude of empathy and respect is essential to achieve therapeutic change" Zeig and Erickson 1980.
The same apparent developmental psychology of studying innate mechanisms has revealed how the baby after just 18 hours after birth, unable to reproduce the movements of the face and mouth of the adult who is found to have opposite . (Meltzof 2002; Meltzof Moore 1977).
already the second month of life of the child with his mother down a tune affective (Stern 1985) identified with an exchange of emotional expressions in different ways. It is not a simple imitation of behavior of the other but a real identification with the state of mind of the person. Body movements, facial expressions, locations are different expressions for intensity and shape those that are expressed in the child's emotional harmony in this first phase of life. Even the early imitation and additional capacity of the infant to establish the equivalence relations that occur at different times, early imitation shows that interactions are established early in our existence, even when the child is still able to establish their own subjective representation. It has not established himself in the consciousness of the child are still unable to share space with each other, sharing a space of "us" with individuals who inhabit it. These capabilities develop long before the mastery of language from a more complete and complex abstraction and social interaction.
So the consciousness of self is secondary in its appearance, we perceive the existence of, seems to be easier to recognize and priority in the report in his own individuality. Adolescence itself spends a lot of time to identify themselves through their relationship with each other, recognizing the relationship through our lives.
The same mirror neurons have the capacity to generate simulation, the acquisition of knowledge through the same mental simulation of the element to be known, there are no objects in our heads, there are only ideas, concepts, words that symbolically recall the object.
The simulation process is present in humans as in the primate, monkey, and probably other animals as this is capable of simulating possessing the same mirror neurons found in the experience human. The imagination itself while not intuitive process to do with the simulation process. The simulation called "embodied" experience as the basis for empathy is supported by the activity of mirror neurons.
Hypnosis uses imagination, naturalistic hypnosis in particular, basing his remarks on natural relational processes that occur between people, using the basis of the relationship, and therefore the basis of the process cognitive simulation and knowledge developed by the activity of mirror neurons. In this way, more than ever, hypnosis can be highlighted the activity of neurological detected in the brain. The experience natural hypnosis is the foundation of any educational process, educational, cognitive, on many occasions in the neurosciences are able to highlight more than ever the task.
Working through relationship, through the report, is the simplest way to access the learning system of the individual, the hypnotic state with the slowing of cognitive activity, and in particular slowing the process scanning of the thalamus to the neocortex, you put your mind in the unique position of being able to tap into the inner world, memory, experience and intuition, combining in this way, the rational with the creative process, resulting change in the balance on many occasions the individual, solution and passing the state of distress, the key mechanisms to be used in any helping relationship.
