  • Deirdre Barrett Story, Part Two (As Published in the Oak Ridger’S Historically Speaking Column the Week of June 11, 2018)
    Deirdre Barrett story, part two (As published in The Oak Ridger’s Historically Speaking column the week of June 11, 2018) We continue Benita Albert’s series on highly successful Oak Ridge High School graduates. This is part two of her series on Deirdre Barrett. If you have ever wondered about your dreams, you will enjoy this unique story and might even learn something about your dreams from some of her work. Enjoy the conclusion of Deirdre’s story from Benita’s recollections and research. *** Deirdre Barrett, an Oak Ridge High School Class of 1972 alumna, is now a noted psychologist, professor, author, editor and speaker. Her dream research is a topic to which virtually every person can relate and for which many seek explanations. Some examples of her studies include bereavement dreams and their evolution over time, the role of dreams in creative thinking and problem solving, incubating mastery dreams to treat nightmares in people suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and dream characteristics manifested in various human disorders. Her studies of hypnosis have led her to define two human types, “fantasizers and dissociators” as being highly hypnotizable. She has focused on the similarities and differences in daydreaming and nocturnal dreaming and also on sleep talking and dream reporting. Deirdre’s recent work in evolutionary psychology addresses our primal instincts and the confusing transition to modern day excesses. Deirdre’s relatable style in both her writings and speeches and her professional leadership and respected research makes me, her former high school teacher, proud to share more of her amazing career beyond her Oak Ridge beginnings which was previously published in part one of this two-part story.

  • The Power of Hypnosis by Deirdre Barrett, Published January 01, 2001
    The Power of Hypnosis by Deirdre Barrett, published January 01, 2001 Studies show that hypnosis can treat everything from chronic pain to poor study habits. Chances are, it can work for you. Nancy Jordan sat down in my office and lit a cigarette--a deadly habit, given her severe asthma and tobacco allergies. Jonathan Hunter, M.D.--my supervisor, her psychotherapist--was also in the room. He wanted to attend Nancy's first hypnotherapy session to put the shy college sophomore at ease. I knew he was also eager to observe hypnosis. "Hunter," as he was known, was supervising my graduate school psychotherapy program. Although Hunter was no hypnotist, I had taken a hypnosis course and had been practicing on volunteers for a semester. We agreed that he would direct me on general psychological aspects of Nancy's treatment, my first hypnotherapy case. I positioned my chair at a 90-degree angle to the recliner in which my young patient sat. I asked Nancy to look up at the ceiling, where four porous tiles intersected in a neat point. (I have yet to encounter a hypnotist who uses a swinging gold pocket watch. Instead, we ask clients to gaze at a steady object to block distracting visual stimuli.) "Stare at the point on the ceiling and let your breathing become slow and deep. Let your body begin to relax, starting with the muscles of your feet and toes. Let your thighs relax; let all tension flow out of your legs." I gradually slowed my voice as I spoke to subliminally cue her breathing to slow down.
