Traditional or fundamental Christians have had issues with hypnosis before. Verbal First Aid is a form of hypnotic communication. Can they be true to their faith and use Verbal First Aid?

What are the pathologies, the uniquely American diseases or delusions that drive our culture? How do they affect us? How aware are we of them?
A patient came in the other day having difficulty breathing, anxious. She had just taken a couple of puffs on her inhaler, but still felt uneasy. Having known her a while I was able to ask, "What happened?" It had become clear to both of us that her asthma was as much the result of feelings as it was of pollen.

The other night I watched an episode of The Mentalist in which practitioners of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming, an offshoot of Ericksonian Hypnosis ) were suspects in a murder.
Besides the triteness of the script, my objection to the episode was not the notion that a therapist might be charged or guilty or capable of murder. Such things have happened. People who present themselves as healers are not beyond suspicion. Nor should they be. What particularly galled me was the notion that anyone could possibly be capable of putting a perfect stranger into a full-Monty trance with just a touch on the shoulder. As if that weren’t enough, the real killer/hypnotherapist managed to induce a complete amnesia and generate an utter complicity in a police officer so that he would passively do her bidding.
