Only tangentially related: do you know of anyone applying hypnotism to helping people recover from traumatic brain damage?
When I was recovering from my stroke, the basic lesson that it's all about attention was absolutely critical (as was the lesson that failure is OK, as you mention) and I developed a lot of little useful techniques for focusing my attention accordingly, but (embarrassingly) it had never occurred to me until this moment that we actually have an established technology for doing that.
I remember that Erickson used some insights from his health problems to hypnotic therapy, but I don't know more details.
I couldn't give you any names, though I do see that kind of thing mentioned from time to time in the hypnosis communities. I don't know anything about recovering from brain damage myself, but I did find this on google scholar, and there might be some more interesting stuff out there.
Have you looked into what the meditation people have to say?
Yup, I did quite a lot of meditation-related techniques and it helped enormously.
And thanks for the article.
