Abstract
ABSTRACT David Wark’s latest iteration of alert hypnosis, the “49word protocol,” reduces performance anxiety. Several case studies have demonstrated improvements in the behavioral responses of subjects using this technique. This case series focuses on the more immediate emotional impact, such as the reported reduction in anxiety, on subjects who have benefited from David Wark’s “49word protocol.” In this study, we compare the benefits of the “49word protocol” to those of the mindfulness protocol. We compared the anxiety-reducing elements of alert hypnosis (49word protocol) and a mindfulness technique (Otani, Akira) called “touch and return.” The Profile of Mood States tension and anger-hostility subtests were administered before and after each intervention as self-reported measures of mood and anxiety.
