But...● When I say Hypnotist, hear tester● When I say Hypnosis, hear testing● When I say trance, hear process● When I say patient, hear system

A Model of “Effective Communication”
38
![Page 39: Testing Hypnotically](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051712/586cc1081a28abf6088bce2a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
“Effective Communication” Model
● You can not not communicate● All communication is suggestion● Communication is the message received● Communication is more than one way
39
![Page 40: Testing Hypnotically](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051712/586cc1081a28abf6088bce2a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
A Testing Model of “Effective
Communication”
40
![Page 41: Testing Hypnotically](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051712/586cc1081a28abf6088bce2a/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
You can not not test● Testing is {Setup, Usage, Teardown, pause, [.*]}● Different order might have a different effect● Track Everything & review. You don't get to
decide significance
“In the real world I seek out happy paths”
Note: The system is testing you
41
![Page 42: Testing Hypnotically](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051712/586cc1081a28abf6088bce2a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
All communication is suggestion● I tell the system what to do● I can not allow myself to believe that I have
commanded the system● I don't know what the system has done unless I
check
Note: the system suggests things to you
42
![Page 43: Testing Hypnotically](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051712/586cc1081a28abf6088bce2a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Communication is the message received
● Not the intent, medium or message
● What was the message sent?● What appeared to be the message received?● What does it respond differently to?● Does it prefer simple or complex?
Note: what did the system communicate to you?
43
![Page 44: Testing Hypnotically](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051712/586cc1081a28abf6088bce2a/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Communication is more than one way
● You are involved● The app is involved● What else is involved?
Note: remember yourself and “others”
44
