Emergency Hypnosis Protocols
In an emergency there are limited amounts of time to do your work and immense pressure.
Regular conversational hypnosis is too slow; therefore, as a rule, direct suggestions tend to be
more appropriate.
Remember you are dealing with an emergency situation, the normal rules of first aid must apply,
and hypnosis does NOT replace this, but can supplement it in certain situations.
As with the other forms of street hypnosis you need their attention, and you can be very direct
with your suggestions.
Step 1 – Priming
Prime their mind to expect that something unusually and hypnotic will happen, prepare them
for your suggestions, and be very direct (As the bigger the emergency the deeper the altered
state the victim is in).
Prime people; make them think that “something important will happen.” One of the best way to
prime people in an emergency situation is simply to say: “I am a doctor.”
However be warned: you cannot do this unless you really are a doctor, do not call yourself
something that you are not! The next best is to say “I am a medic” but again, make sure you
really are.
As a hypnotist you can truthfully say “I am a hypnotist” or, if you are, “I am a hypnotherapist” or
“I am a clinical hypnotist” – Make sure to check your local laws first: each country/state has
different laws about what you may legally call yourself.
You could also simply say “I am an expert, I’m here to help”.
Step 2 – Attention
Get and fixate their attention.
Echo the thoughts that they are having, pace their experiences.
Step 3 – Direct Suggestions
Here’s an example of what this might run like:
“You’ve been burnt, you’re in pain, I can help, I can make the pain go away, in a moment it will
go away, all I need you to do is...(suggestion time!).”
This relies greatly on your personnel power, be confident and believe what you say, use the
ideas behind the hypnotic blitz to break through the trance that they are in, and enter it as an
authority.
Emergency Interventions
The things that a hypnotists is most likely to be able to help with during an emergency are:
• Other assistants being disorganised
• General panic
• Fear and panic in the victim
• Bleeding and pain
• “Special” problems, eg hyperventilation, post traumatic stress disorder, and mass
dissociation.
How To Deal With General Anxiety
One of the simplest ways that hypnotists can aid fear and panic is, simply, to be comforting and
give security.
“You are here now, you’re safe, we know what to do, we’ll take care of you, you’re safe, and
you’ll be fine.”
It is surprising how many times people forget these important reassurances in an emergency!
How To Deal With Panic
When you become afraid you become to breathe more shallowly, so your oxygen intake
reduces or you over-oxygenate your blood by breathing “too much” to compensate. Sometimes
people do not breathe more and they run out of oxygen (leading to dizziness and fainting).
Hyperventilation is not directly dangerous, but it can lead to passing out and it does create a lot
of emotional strain.
Panic can also cause an asthmatic attack, due to breathing restrictions.
These responses can lead to future fears such a agoraphobia, due to expectation of what will
happen.
To intervene with hyperventilation use the typical paper bag method, and use direct suggestions
“As you look at me your breathing begins to slow down, you are safe, your fine, and because
you are beginning to feel more safe and calm, your breathing can stabilise, and you can relax
and breath normally”
How To Deal With Disorientation
Disorientation is another side effect of panic and medical shock, this can lead to dissociation.
You want them to be in their body, lucid and orientated, so that they can create a more positive
mental imprint of the situation. The simplest way to do this is to reorient them to the here and
now.
Reorient them to positive physical sensations, NOT the injury, but their other functions and
senses.
Orient them towards the present, deal with the future by preventing traumatic memories form
setting in and creating them imprint of comfort and calm, deal with it as you would a regression.
Reframe the situation before they can frame it for themselves in a negative way.
Put in a future memory with them feeling empowered, with them feeling like as they could
survive such a dangerous situation they can do anything!
“You are safe no, you’ve come through this, and you will be stronger in the future, next time you
go out you will be fine! You will know you will be safe, you will be fine, you have come through
this, you’re safe, and your fine and you will be fine in the future.”
Dealing With Pain.
As usually, use direct suggestions, and follow the emergency hypnosis protocol.
“In a moment I will touch you on the forehead and you will be fine, the pain will go (touch)
now a cooling blanket is surrounding you, you will be completely healed...”
Remember that pain has qualities; there are different types of pain (gripping, stabbing, aching,
repetitive, freezing, burning etc.) If you have time to gather this information you can add the
counter-quality. E.g. if they’re burning, a feeling of coolness, cool water, would be best to add.

repetitive, freezing, burning etc.) If you have time to gather this information you can add the
counter-quality. E.g. if they’re burning, a feeling of coolness, cool water, would be best to add.
Another method is too use the following process:
- Fixate attention
- Pace their experience “you’re in pain, pain is a message, you need to pay attention, if you don’t pay attention you’ll pay… with pain, and pain is a signal form the body to draw attention to something, with your attention there is no need for pain.”
- Get them to focus on the painful area, and mentally split that into two equal halves.
- Now get them to focus on one of those halves and divide that half in half again...
- Keep repeating until they only have a tiny little fraction of the pain left in their awareness
- Then get them to move that small pain somewhere else.
- The first movement may be gradual – like an inch or so away.
- Keep going over longer distances until the “pain” reaches the opposite end of the body.
- From then on call it a sensation only; never use the word pain.
- Get them, to shake the pain out of their body, and “feel comfortable, the sensations you had will no longer bother you.”
This is called the fractioning method of pain control. The principle behind this is that pain is
localised, if their attention is only on half the pain then they are only experiencing half the pain.
The Therapeutic Seal
Sometime s doctors will accidentally retrigger the pain, by asking about or mentioning it – not
realising that a poorly phrased comment or question from them can have the force of
suggestion!
You need to protect the subject from such inadvertent “fear & pain” suggestions!
Step 1 – Correctly Answer medical Questions
Simply future pace and directly suggest that “you will be able to accurately describe the pain
you had, but no matter what they say you will not feel any discomfort.”
Step 2 – Innoculate Against Future Pain Suggestions
To prevent all your pain control getting measures being reversed by a negative comment form a
doctor or medic you need to create a therapeutic seal.
- First pace their current experiences – i.e. the situation they are in NOW, and the fact that there is no discomfort (remember once you have removed pain, you call it a “discomfort” or a “sensation” from then on!)
- Next future pace possible negative comments from a doctor saying that such comments “will only reinforce the power that you have to feel comfortable right now.”
- Then create dissociation from the pain – in case they need to describe it to a doctor for a diagnosis: “it will be as if you are describing the pain that someone else had, no matter what happens you will be feeling comfortable, and the pain will not bother you one little bit.”
How To Deal With Bleeding
A direct suggestion to stop bleeding can work, as can metaphors – like rivers turning into
streams and finally running dry.
Another approach is to deal with sensation. With less blood limbs feel cold, so limbs that feel
cold are less likely to bleed. In essence its an indirect suggestion for the surface level capillaries
(small blood vessels) to shut down hence preventing bleeding from surface wounds.
End the process by suggesting them living a happy, normal life. This forms a complete cycle and
enhances the effect. Wrap it up in a future expectation of well being. This helps reassure people
– after all the sight of your own blood can be a frightening thing to many people!
How To Deal With General Disorganisation
The more people are present, the less likely it is that someone will do anything. Everyone thinks
someone else will deal with it. You should Always assume that nobody will do anything unless
you do. So take charge of the situation and use your hypnosis skills to organise the situation.
Become an authority figure and take control of the situation. Use simple, direct instructions
(suggestions) backed up by a lot of personal power.
