DEHYPNOTISE Meaning and Definition

  1. Dehypnotise is a verb that refers to the act of freeing or liberating an individual from a state of hypnosis.

    Hypnosis, also known as a trance state, is a psychological state in which a person's consciousness is altered, making them susceptible to suggestions, often induced by a hypnotist. During hypnosis, an individual's focus and attention become intensely concentrated, allowing them to enter a highly suggestible state. They may experience reduced peripheral awareness and an increased susceptibility to accepting instructions or suggestions.

    Dehypnotise, on the other hand, describes the process of releasing someone from this altered state of consciousness. It involves the reversal of the suggestions and instructions that were given during the hypnosis, effectively bringing the person back to their normal state of mind.

    Dehypnotising can be achieved through various techniques, such as verbal prompts, physical stimulation, or interventions by a trained professional, such as a therapist or psychologist. The objective of dehypnotisation is to restore a person's autonomy and control over their thoughts, actions, and decision-making process, negating the influence of the previously induced state of hypnosis.

    By dehypnotising an individual, they regain their ability to critically analyze information, make independent choices, and resist suggestions or influences that may have been implanted during the hypnotic state. It is an important process when hypnosis is used as a therapeutic tool to treat certain conditions as it ensures that the individual returns to their pre-hypnotic state, maintaining their personal agency and autonomy.

Etymology of DEHYPNOTISE

The word "dehypnotise" is derived from the combination of the prefix "de-" and the verb "hypnotize".

The prefix "de-" is of Latin origin and typically denotes reversal or removal. It is commonly used in English words to indicate the opposite or undoing of a particular action or state.

The verb "hypnotize" comes from the Greek word "hypnos", meaning "sleep", and was coined in the mid-19th century by the Scottish surgeon James Braid. It refers to the induction of a trance-like state in which a person becomes highly responsive to suggestions and instructions.

So, by combining the prefix "de-" (undoing, reversal) with the verb "hypnotize" (induce a trance-like state), the word "dehypnotise" is formed, which means to undo or reverse the effects of hypnosis and bring someone out of a hypnotic or trance state.
