Mr. Ray Smith, Licensed Psychologist ( in
practice for forty -40 - plus years), Classical Alumni, former Classical
teacher, Founder and Director of the Cambridge Institute of Hypnosis,
visited Mr. Grealish's classes yesterday.
Mr. Smith has been very generous with his time
in doing demonstrations/lectures for our students. He speaks to
Psychology classes and, in addition to his lecture, he answers students
questions about careers in Psychology and courses to consider taking in
college and at the graduate level.
These photos show Mr. Smith demonstrating
relaxation techniques. Students raised their arms, closed their eyes, and,
through the power of suggestion, one arm was pulled up by a "balloon" while
the other arm was weighted down. The students writing on the board have been
"regressed back" to younger years through hypnosis and are writing words at
various age/grade levels. Some students were stuck to their chairs when Mr.
Smith suggested there was glue on the seat. He also brought back forgotten
memories from some students.
This lecture and demonstration was very well
received, enjoyed, and appreciated by the students.
