Hi Guys, I need a bit of input. I work for a drug and alcohol charity in the uk, mainly with young people. One of my colleagues is doing some training on Ketamine and is looking for a way to demonstrate the dissociative state that it causes its users.
Can you think of anyway to do this, obviously this guy has no experience in suggestion or hypnotism so what I'm thinking of is more of like a easy mind hack he can use.

Really appreciate any ideas.

Thanks

Andy

Are there any specific examples of dissociation that would be of most value to demonstrate.

e.g. identity, physical, vocal, auditory?

I can think of some ways to achieve the impression and experience of these using mentalist and hypnotic techniques anyone can learn swiftly. Depends also whether you wish to give someone that experience or the audience the impression they have.

Hi Anthony,

I think the experience he wants to mimic is what we call a K Hole, described here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-hole
There are several different things going on with this experience as you can see.
At first I thought of maybe an arm rising demonstration using suggestion.
I also thought of ormond mcgills trick to see your own brain (perception there of)and even the old static noise and ping pong trick http://boingboing.net/2009/01/12/how-to-hallucinate-w.html but the latter are not really that practical in a training room enviroment.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW I had lunch meeting a couple of weeks ago with a colleague who had been to see you last year, she was really singing your praises.
