What comes back in spite of you
A fear that comes back. A habit you want to leave, and which stays. A thought that turns in spite of you. You decide to stop, and it comes back.
These reactions are not choices. They are automatisms, installed below consciousness, on a floor the will cannot reach (fig. 1). That is why the will fails, “not through weakness, but by knocking at the wrong address”.
Directed Hypnotic Suggestion works on the floor where these reactions are installed. M. Mischa Harmeijer’s explanations follow, in his own words.
The PPA
To describe this phenomenon, M. Mischa Harmeijer uses the term PPA: Person with Heightened Perception. It is someone who receives more than the ordinary rate, whether that perception is still endured or already mastered.
The word designates neither a success nor a suffering. It applies to the exhausted person as much as to the one who has learned to hold what they receive: both receive as much. What separates them is not the quantity received, it is the way of processing it. The right question is therefore not “am I hypersensitive?”, but: where do I stand in the way I process what I receive?
His years in the field allow him a finding: in PPAs, the clearest improvements he has observed have come from directed suggestion in the hypnotic state. Automatic reactions, such as emergency sorting, fixating or following an inner rule, are not choices. They are installed in the unconscious, where the conscious will has no access. Directed suggestion works at that place: it makes it possible to re-educate these reactions where they live.

The method
Directed Hypnotic Suggestion
Most lasting disorders are not lodged in consciousness, where one reasons. They are lodged in the subconscious: the large part of the mind that works without voluntary control. The subconscious does not reason. It executes, with blind force.
Settled fears, bad habits, thoughts that come back in spite of oneself are suggestions accumulated over time in that place. The will, which works on only a small part of the mind, cannot dislodge them. That is why it always comes back.
Directed Hypnotic Suggestion, developed by M. Mischa Harmeijer, goes to find them where they are. It first brings about a state of deep receptivity. Then it gives suggestions formulated with precision: direct affirmation, imperative mode, methodical repetition.
The aim is twofold: to undo what maintains the disorder, and to install what brings back harmony, which the subconscious will then carry out by itself. It is not stage hypnosis, nor guided relaxation. It is direct work on the cause.
The session
This is not modern stage hypnosis, and it has nothing in common with it. The state in which the suggestion works may be close to sleep or fully awake; it proceeds from another technique, a deeper one. No one comes here to be “hypnotised” in the manner of modern sessions or shows.

Before the session
This approach is exclusively complementary to any ongoing medical care. It in no way substitutes for a diagnosis, a medical treatment or a therapeutic follow-up. If the subject is currently in therapy or under the supervision of a psychiatrist, the written consent of the practitioner following him is required. If the subject is taking antidepressants or any medication with neurological action, the work cannot be undertaken.
On the day of the appointment: no stimulants (coffee, strong tea), no alcohol, no drugs.
In the event of suicidal thoughts or immediate risk, this session is not suitable — call 15 or 3114 immediately.
