naturally occurring hypnosis
- Any time a heightened state of suggestibility occurs by way of natural circumstances such as daydreaming.
Definition by Cal Banyan (date added: 03/07/06)
- We go in and out of hypnosis all the time. Some examples include daydreaming while driving on the highway and all of a sudden you realize that you just missed your exit. We go through hypnosis on the way to sleep and as we awaken in the morning. Another example is when we get engrossed in a movie, television program or book and we do not hear someone calling our name. So, in reality, everyone has experienced hypnosis.

overt testing
Any technique used to determine the level of hypnosis (suggestibility) attained in an individual in which she would be aware that she is being tested. Care needs to be taken when using overt testing because if the client knows that she is being tested then it may affect the state being tested, usually negatively, and also failure of the test will reduce the client's confidence and level of suggestibility.

Previvification
A term used by 5-PATH™ hypnotherapists describing having a client move into a probable future in order to experience the changes made during a hypnotic age regression therapy session. This previvification is a hallucination and is more real that imagination, or visualization to the client.
