Crisis Communication and Emergency Hypnosis Advice from A Hypno Dom
When someone is the victim of physical trauma such as a car crash, an act of violence, an accident, or disaster, or witnessing traumatic actions in riots, that person is existing in a highly focused, absorbed and emotional trance state. How that person is thinking is not going to be logical as they enter into survival mode. A person will respond to direct literal statements but may be unable to consciously process everything if their emotional intensity is too high. It takes training, support, and consistent feedback to operate under extreme stress, and those who do well have practiced several plans. Those who do well know how to access a situation and can work with what they have. This article will post basic principals to keep in mind that trained professionals from the dungeon to the solider get drilled on.

How Empaths and Hypersensitives Can Prevent Mental Breakdowns
Being an empath isn’t unique, but it seems we’re few and far between being surrounded by people who are taught to suppress their true feelings. We treasure the freedom of sensing the truth, listening to our intuition, and just knowing. It’s really awesome, but depending on our personality, this ability can become a burden leading to a mental breakdown and worse.

Quietly Loud
Silence is welcomed when beckoned, right? When we want to study, read for leisure, or do homework, we extend an invitation to the silence. But when no one reaches out, and it still shows up, what do we do?

How to End It
1. First thing first, why did you click on this link? - What parts of yourself lead you to believe you don’t have the right to be here anymore? Is it your sensitivity, your forgiveness with the wrong people, or your ability to always see the good in people? Or is it your bitterness, and your apparent inability to forgive yourself for getting hurt again? Well, now’s the time to forgive yourself, you aren’t going to get anything more out of beating yourself up about it. Take some time to really think about this question. Write down your answer on a piece of paper. Explain how it explicitly means you no longer have a place here with us. It has to be at least a page, which should be no problem since it's so bad that you don't deserve to see things get better.

Tame Your Squirrel Brain: Conversation Tips for People With ADD
Hey there, you, yeah the one with 14 tabs open in Chrome with Youtube playing in the background and a game going on their phone; this article's for you. I have lived with ADD/ADHD for 33 years now,as well as raising children with it, and throughout that time I've accumulated hundreds of tips and tricks for getting through your day, not annoying people, and functioning almost like a “normal” person without medication. Now to be clear, this article is not to knock medication, I was on Ritalin for almost a decade before I joined the army and that crap works; if you think it will help then talk to a doctor. I also want to say upfront that I am of the opinion that ADD/ADHD is not a terrible condition, but instead simply a different way that your brain operates, and in many cases can actually be beneficial if you can learn how to take advantage of it.
