pattern-interrupt as a phrase comes from NLP.

Quick Definition:

A break or interrupt in someone’s NLP pattern or routine sequence.
Full Definition:

An interrupt can come verbally or physically from the target, such as her throwing a hoop. “Excuse me for a second, can you get me a drink? I am thirsty”. It can also come from external interrupts, such as a CB, friend, the bar closing, or a need to use the bathroom.

Usage:

I could not help coughing and I pattern-interrupted myself.

Milton Ericson:

Confusion technique

In all my techniques, almost all, there is a confusion.[11]

A confused person has their conscious mind busy and occupied, and is very much inclined to draw upon unconscious learnings to make sense of things. A confused person is in a trance of their own making – and therefore goes readily into that trance without resistance. Confusion might be created by ambiguous words, complex or endless sentences, pattern interruption or a myriad of other techniques to incite transderivational searches.

Scottish surgeon James Braid, who coined the term “hypnotism”, claimed that focused attention was essential for creating hypnotic trances; indeed, his thesis was that hypnosis was in essence a state of extreme focus. But it can be difficult for people racked by pain, fear or suspicion to focus on anything at all. Thus other techniques for inducing trance become important, or as Erickson explained:

… long and frequent use of the confusion technique has many times effected exceedingly rapid hypnotic inductions under unfavourable conditions such as acute pain of terminal malignant disease and in persons interested but hostile, aggressive, and resistant.

and another quote:

Changing a Strategy with a Pattern Interrupt

A pattern interrupt is a way to change a person’s state or strategy. We all have behavior patterns that are habit sequences or mental pathways. It is also a great way to induce trance. Milton Erikson used the handshake induction as a formal pattern interrupt.

Patterns

Usually habits are useful. Auto pilot means our brains have become so efficient at doing something we can tune out our conscious minds.

We get dressed, drive, walk, clean our teeth in ways that don’t need much mental attention. Rapport is tuning in to another at an unconscious level.

But patterns can be our downfall too. We can eat mindlessly and therefore overeat. We can tune out important people and not hear important messages. We can exercise without paying attention and damage bits of our bodies.
Interrupting

A pattern can be interrupted by any unexpected or sudden movement or response. Have you ever messed up someone’s story by asking a question for instance and they can’t remember where they were?

They experience momentary confusion, and sometimes even amnesia. Have you ever started to do something and after being interrupted can’t remember what it was? This confusion state can make you open

A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely.[1] When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting equilibrium position, it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back toward the equilibrium position. When released, the restoring force combined with the pendulum’s mass causes it to oscillate about the equilibrium position, swinging back and forth. The time for one complete cycle, a left swing and a right swing, is called the period. A pendulum swings with a specific period which depends (mainly) on its length.

In this work we use the pendulum as a representation of the machine that is the mind.

It only have options, it chooses from what it can see, it is limited, it is intent to fix, to make things more, better, or different.

It is out of sync with LIFE, with existence, with the limitless choices and the infinite Universe.

pivot point is an idea or point of view around which things can turn. Finding a pivot point gives you leverage and power to control how things turn out by exercising your power to turn or not turn.

Your soul correction is a pivot point. Your soul connection, your ego connection are pivot points. The power is in your hand.

placebo effect goes both ways. A client of mine thought she had yeast infection, and though there is no yeast in her system, she still feels it and treats it.

A guy was told by his doctor that he had incurable cancer. He went home and died. Turned out the assistant mixed up the test results, and our guy had nothing.

These two are the negative placebo effects.

Positive placebo effects work the same: you think you are getting something that will cure you, and you get well.

Because all disease is caused by emotions, the positive emotion of hope and trust bring about improvement in one’s condition.

Not all placebo works for most people: you need to have a predisposition for actions consistent with getting better, and not a victim mentality, or a taker mentality. If you have those, placebos won’t work.
