Hello friend! Can you do some Carl x reader with high functioning adhd pls? By hug functioning, I mean intense mood swings, extremely forgetful, super low stress tolerance, gets frustrated very easily, etc. Maybe with a bit of smut :)? 💜

Carl x ADHD! Reader headcanons

Y/N has ADHD, but Carl has gotten used to it... Everyone is 18 or over.

WARNINGS: lowkey smut, nsfw

When everyone else is annoyed by your constant restlessness, Carl doesn't mind at all; he's always suggesting activities - usually sex first, of course he means it totally unselfishly *cough*.

Carl and you share a bedroom, so he inevitably notices when you can't sleep again. While the bed is big enough that he could just shift away from you and sleep himself, if he's not completely exhausted and passed out, he'll stay awake with you; you'll watch movies, kiss, sleep with each other, and play video games until you're eventually able to fall asleep.

Carl isn't particularly tidy himself, but he often cleans up after you - especially in the bathroom, because Rick and Michonne get annoyed when one of you leaves it messy.

Carl is used to you not being able to sit still and constantly rocking your feet, crossing your legs, biting your fingernails, and not being able to concentrate on anything. When being active is not possible, for example at important meetings in Alexandria, Carl takes your hand and holds it.

He reminds you of the things you forget. While Denise has taught you to write lists to structure yourself and your daily routines, you often misplace those lists or completely forget to write them at all.

Other people think you babble too much, too fast, and too much nonsense. Carl doesn't mind, he thinks it's cute.

Carl finds your mood swings interesting because they are so unpredictable. He sometimes teases you about it ("Are you on your period again? Okay, at least you're not pregnant then.").

When you're out in the woods or on a scavenging trip, you never run out of energy - Carl admires and envies you for it.

Carl has taught you a few techniques to calm down and focus. For example, he's picked up books on autogenic training and meditation and practiced that with you. But his favorite way to relax and relieve stress remains sex. Not that you would feel any different. You two literally can't keep your hands off each other, and at times your libido is even greater than Carl's - not that he is bothered by that, he likes to sacrifice himself for the good thing....

Rick often gets upset that you are erratic and inattentive during your guard duties. He initially didn't understand what ADHD even meant until Carl calmly explained it to him. Since then, Rick has been more understanding of your moods, and you're always assigned to guard duty with Carl or Enid, since they're the two who can handle you best.

Some foods - especially cola or coffee - exacerbate your ADHD, so Carl tries to keep you away from it what you don't like. You argue about this a lot.

Carl likes your tics. To him, that makes you special.

You have anger attacks in which you lose your temper and throw objects. Carl then holds you tight, presses you against him and murmurs soothing words in your ear until it's over.

As a favor to one of my relatives, I was proofreading one of those self-help books on how to stay calm while preparing to speak in public, and they mentioned a relaxation technique called Dr. Schultz's Autogenic Training. I cannot begin to describe the whiplash I got as I was reading. IT'S STRAIGHT UP HYPNO SHIT.

I wish I could just show you the extract from the book, but alas, something something confidentiality. It shows up if you google Autogenic Training though.

OH MY GOD YOURE RIGHT?!?

To save y’all a Google (though you seriously should, I’d recommend it. Basically it’s about repetitions of phrases to focus on your feeling and to concentrate on calming exercises. E.g. repeating that your muscles feel heavy to relax them or that your body is warm, etc.

This is genuine hypnosis and dear anon I salute you for being able to keep your cool best you could bc I would’ve straight up choked

Inductions Set the Scene

I've been digging into different kinds of inductions lately for the guide and something stood out. The guide goes through different kinds of inductions in order to help you become a better hypnotist, and there's a long history of inductions.

But as far as science can tell, there's not really a distinguishable difference between inductions in terms of increased suggestibility, and some question if inductions increase suggestibility at all. In fact, you can increase suggestibility without induction, via CSTP or the active imagination model.

So what are inductions... for? Why use them?

Most inductions have the following things in common: an extended period of focused attention, resulting in absorption and an altered state of consciousness. Any kind of sustained focused attention can qualify as an "altered state" -- from meditation to "highway hypnosis" to subspace, although hypnosis is the original source of the term.

The term "altered state of consciousness" is also used to refer to coma and LSD based hallucinations, and so it may be more useful to think of hypnosis in this context as a mindset or a frame of reference.

Most hypnotic inductions are generally focused on activation of the parasympathetic nervous system through interoception. It's all about relaxation and slowing down, producing a "trance." More research has been focused on this state of mind than any other, including some fun explorations of neurophenomenology of hypnotic depth.

But hypnosis isn't trance. Trance is the result of suggestions given by a specific type of hypnotic induction. There are inductions that produce altered states of consciousness that don't look like a classic hypnotic trance.

If you want to break down hypnotic inductions by effect, you can distinguish five general categories:

Relaxation inductions: ask you to "sink deeper", ranging from PMR to Esdaile state, Ultra-depth, Sichort state etc.

Alertness inductions: ask for focus, such as active-alert, valencia style waking hypnosis. My monotropism induction would fall into this category.

Mind Expansion inductions: inductions that focus on "trippy" visualizations such as Terrance Watts / ultra height / hyperempiria.

Dissociation inductions: attempt to stun the subject's sense of reality, such as fractionation, confusion, contradiction, and instant inductions.

Depersonalization inductions: focus on obedience through repetition and monotony, i.e. mantras, affirmations, or autogenic training.

There are more inductions that aren't covered, i.e. inductions with a sensory component (gooning, bambi) or involving stress (subspace, mindfucks, gaslighting, fear play) add physical components above and beyond your standard butterfly induction.

Don Gibbons has a great summary.

If the perception of one's own awareness is a subjective phenomenon or an epiphenomenon, as behaviorists have long maintained, then the total number of possible role patterns involving "altered states" (or altered experiences) of consciousness which may be induced by means of suggestion should be roughly equivalent to the number of definitions of such states which it is possible to conceive or to imagine; for each of these imagined definitions may be communicated to a responsive S in the form of suggestions which define for him the nature of the changes which he is about to undergo in the perception of his own awareness.

There's a common trope that some hypnotic inductions are more powerful than others, or that there's some magic incantation that you can use that make suggestions irresistible.  The truth is the other way around: effective suggestions work because the scene has already been set by the pre-talk and induction for the suggestion to work in that context.

If you want to help your partner destress after a hard day, use a relaxation induction. if you want to train your partner in a new skill, use an alertness induction. For dollification, use a depersonalization induction. And so on.

This is nothing fandom-related, just personal stuff.

A few days ago, I had to force myself not to burst into laughter in the dentist’s chair. They had previously asked me if I was in pain. Then I explained (as I have done so many times) that I have had persistent facial pain since I was ten.

Everything hurts– eating, drinking, talking, laughing, crying. It feels a little bit like having wisdom tooth surgery every day. It also affects concentration and is extremely draining. I’ve been to countless professionals, and they’ve always said that it’s caused by stress and that I should mediate (because “young people can’t have a serious illness”).

Over the years, you get used to some absurdities like intrusive examinations, strange diagnoses, and countless stupid comments (“You look too happy to be in pain”; have you tried exercising?”).

I blamed myself and apologized to doctors because they couldn’t find anything. But it was also obvious to me that I can’t just “live, love, laugh” the pain away with stupid yoga courses, autogenic training, or PMR (yes, I tried them all).

At some point, I gave up and stopped talking about it. I forced myself to appear as normal as possible and not to let anything show in my facial expressions. I was ashamed. Why couldn’t it be a normal illness? Why facial pain of all things?

Now I was sitting there in the dentist’s chair, and the doctor simply told me that she knew what I was talking about. It took her exactly three minutes to figure it out. Three minutes.

The cause was medical malpractice in my childhood. She said it’s obvious. It’s still unclear whether there are treatment options that actually help. But I’m just so relieved that the cause has finally been found after 15 years.

To be honest, I don’t know how to deal with this information, and I feel a lot of emotions (maybe I should write something again lol). I’m kind of exited to experience how it feels to exist without pain and be completely relaxed.

A couple of months ago, I had an experience that came very close to that. I went swimming for the first time in years and chatted with a random 60-year-old lady. She told me that she always floats on her back on the water when the stress gets too much for her, and that’s why she comes here. I asked her if she could show me because I had never done it before, and she just held me in the water for minutes until I figured it out.

This is the first time in my life that I was able to just let go. The most peaceful minutes in my life. And if there is even a slight chance that this feeling becomes normal and that the pain disappears, then things can only be good.

And if it doesn’t work, that’s okay too.

Harness the Power of Your Subconscious Mind with Brainwave Entrainment

Mapping of the human brain and its various frequency states occurs recently and thus the click here two technologies were combined to become one of the most powerful self-improvement tools since the discovery of meditation

The subconscious mind is the intangible controlling entity that exists below the planar existence of conscious awareness. It operates deep inside the cortex of the mind and is said to have a level of awareness that is not perceivable by any sort of instrumentation, and only late in the 21st century was science able to identify where in the cortex it is said to operate. The forefathers of this term were Pierre Janet and Sigmund Freud who were the early investigators of the mind and all its forms. Early methods of influencing the subconscious included the use of affirmation prayer and positive thinking to influence the mind for a positive outcome.

In the medical industry, psychologists use the power of methods like autosuggestions and autogenics; which is essentially the training of the subconscious to accept as true messages or mental associations through the use of self-induced hypnotism. The subconscious is then allowed to absorb these stimulations and thus get ‘reprogrammed’.

This has been used extensively to treat disorders like ADHD, ADD, autism, Alzheimer’s, Hodgkin’s disease and even serious forms of addiction. The method is using a bombardment of thoughts and suggestions to the individuals mind until it is bent into a sort of iron belief or automatic response - telling someone that they should stop smoking over and over again and presenting horrid images of cancer (associated with smoking) is one method of autogenics. This is fairly intricate in its execution and is not viable for the average consumer, more likely to be placed in an uncomfortable controlled environment for the experimentation to succeed.

Other forms of brainwave entrainment also include magnetic fields, bio feed backs - forms which are also not consumer level products. Thankfully many companies have been producing CD’s or subliminal music laced with binaural beats -  a great way to induce the right frequency states in the brain through the use of variable frequency engineered sound that is beyond human range. In this form, the technology is now available for the average consumer who is interested in personal development. While technically discovered in the 1800’s by one Heinrich Wilhelm Dove, it has been refined by years of research and scientific enhancements. Mapping of the human brain and its various frequency states only occurs recently and thus the two technologies were combined to become one of the most powerful self-improvement tools since the discovery of meditation.

Being able to evoke frequencies that range from below 1 to 40 Hz can produce a wide range of health benefits from higher mental activity, overcoming of fear, and increase in confidence, change of behavioural patterns and increase cognitive powers.  One of the better applications of brainwave entrainment is the evocation of the theta and alpha waves, which slips the mind into a deep relaxed state that is akin to a meditative state - a prime state in which one can influence the sub conscious to kick negative habits, improve behaviour and increase ambition and drive for life. With binaural beats and sound, you can harness the power of your subconscious mind with brainwave entrainment.

Of course! Here are some additional relaxation techniques that you can try:

1. Body scan meditation: This involves lying down and focusing on different parts of your body, starting at your toes and working your way up to your head. As you focus on each body part, notice any sensations you feel and try to release any tension you might be holding in that area.

2. Guided imagery: This involves using your imagination to create a calming scene in your mind. You might picture yourself in a peaceful natural setting, such as a beach or forest, and focus on the sights, sounds, and smells around you.

3. Autogenic training: This technique involves focusing on specific sensations in your body, such as warmth or heaviness, and using your imagination to help promote relaxation.

4. Tai chi: This gentle exercise involves slow, flowing movements that can help promote relaxation and reduce stress.

5. Music therapy: Listening to calming music can help promote relaxation and reduce stress. You might try listening to slow, instrumental music, nature sounds, or white noise.

Remember, the most effective relaxation technique is one that you enjoy and can practice regularly. Try experimenting with different techniques and find what works best for you. It's also important to remember that relaxation techniques work best when practiced regularly over time, so try to make relaxation a regular part of your bedtime routine.

How Do Relaxation Techniques Improve Health Outcomes in Medical Care?

In today's fast-paced world, relaxation techniques play an essential role in promoting both physical and mental well-being. As we delve into the intersection of relaxation and medical care, we discover various methods that not only alleviate stress but also aid in recovery from medical conditions. This blog aims to highlight effective relaxation strategies and their benefits within the context of healthcare.

The Importance of Relaxation in Medical Care

Relaxation techniques are therapeutic exercises designed to reduce tension and anxiety, both physically and psychologically. They can be particularly beneficial for patients undergoing medical treatments or recovering from surgeries. Research indicates that these techniques can help manage pain, lower blood pressure, and improve overall health outcomes.

Common Relaxation Techniques

Several relaxation methods have gained recognition for their effectiveness in clinical settings. Here are some widely used techniques:

Deep Breathing: This involves focusing on slow, deep breaths to calm the mind and body. Techniques such as Box Breathing—where one inhales for a count of four, holds for four, exhales for four, and holds again for four—are particularly effective in managing stress.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR): PMR entails tensing and then relaxing different muscle groups sequentially. This method helps individuals become more aware of physical sensations and promotes a sense of calm.

Guided Imagery: This technique involves visualizing peaceful scenes or experiences to distract from stressors. It engages all five senses to create a vivid mental image that fosters relaxation.

Autogenic Training: Participants use self-suggestive phrases to induce relaxation, focusing on sensations of warmth and heaviness in their limbs. This method can be performed individually or in groups.

Biofeedback-Assisted Relaxation: Through monitoring physiological responses like heart rate and muscle tension, individuals learn to control their body's reactions to stress.

Benefits of Relaxation Techniques

The incorporation of relaxation techniques into medical care offers numerous benefits:

Pain Management: Studies show that patients who engage in relaxation techniques before or after surgery report lower pain levels and require less medication.

Stress Reduction: Regular practice can significantly reduce stress levels, enhancing emotional well-being.

Improved Recovery: Patients utilizing these techniques often experience faster recovery times due to reduced anxiety and improved coping strategies during treatment.

Enhanced Immune Function: Evidence suggests that relaxation practices can boost the immune response, which is crucial for patients with chronic illnesses or those undergoing treatments like chemotherapy.

Conclusion

Incorporating relaxation and medical care is a powerful way to enhance patient well-being and recovery. By fostering a calm environment and teaching patients how to manage their stress effectively, healthcare providers can significantly improve treatment outcomes. As we continue to explore the benefits of these practices, it becomes clear that relaxation is not just a luxury but a vital component of comprehensive medical care.

Unlocking Cognitive Potential with Brainwave Entrainment

Discover the power of brainwave entrainment technology, a tool that promises to enhance cognitive abilities, improve memory retention, and foster relaxation. By leveraging the science of brain frequencies, this find out more here technology offers a simple yet effective method for individuals to maximize their mental capabilities and achieve personal success.

The Science Behind Brainwave Entrainment

Brainwave entrainment is a practice that has been gaining traction in the fields of personal development and neuroscience. It involves the use of auditory or visual stimuli to influence the brain's electrical activity, aligning it with specific frequency patterns that can enhance various cognitive functions.

Understanding Brain Frequencies

The human brain is a complex network of neurons that communicate through electrical impulses. These impulses generate brainwaves that vary in frequency depending on the mental state and activity. For instance, lower frequencies are associated with states of relaxation and deep meditation, while higher frequencies correlate with alertness and concentration.

Historical Context and Evolution

Historically, techniques such as autogenics, biofeedback, and affirmations have been used to influence brain states. Advanced technologies, including magnetic field induction and devices like the Dream Machine, have also been employed to induce hypnotic states for therapeutic purposes. However, these methods were often complex and inaccessible to the general public.

Brainwave entrainment technology simplifies this process by using binaural beats or isochronic tones embedded in music or sounds. When these auditory stimuli are presented to each ear at slightly different frequencies, the brain perceives a third tone—the binaural beat—which encourages the brain to align with this new frequency.

Muscle inhibition refers to a process where muscle activity is reduced or suppressed through various mechanisms, both physiological and pathological. Here’s a detailed look at muscle inhibition:

1. Neurological Control:

The nervous system plays a crucial role in regulating muscle activity. Muscle inhibition often involves the suppression of motor neuron activity, which reduces the signals sent to muscles, thereby decreasing muscle contraction.

2. Types of Muscle Inhibition:

- Autogenic Inhibition: This occurs when the Golgi tendon organs, which are sensory receptors within the tendons, detect excessive tension and send signals to inhibit muscle contraction to prevent damage.

- Reciprocal Inhibition: This natural process involves the contraction of one muscle group leading to the inhibition of the opposing muscle group, facilitating smooth movement.

-Central Inhibition: This involves the brain and spinal cord suppressing muscle activity, which can occur during states of relaxation or due to neurological disorders.

3. Clinical Relevance:

- Injury Response: Post-injury, muscle inhibition can act as a protective mechanism to prevent further damage. However, prolonged inhibition can result in muscle weakness and atrophy.

- Rehabilitation: ANF Therapists often address pathological muscle inhibition using ANF Devices. To learn more about it, visit www.anfacademy.com

- Neurological Conditions: Disorders like stroke, multiple sclerosis, or spinal cord injuries can lead to abnormal muscle inhibition, causing mobility issues and spasticity.

4.Voluntary and Involuntary Inhibition:

Voluntary Inhibition: This involves a conscious effort to relax or control muscle activity, commonly practiced in activities like yoga or meditation.

Involuntary Inhibition: This occurs without conscious control, often as a reflex or due to pathological conditions.

Understanding muscle inhibition is crucial in fields such as sports science, osteopathy, physiotherapy, neurology, and rehabilitation, as it helps in developing strategies to manage and treat various musculoskeletal and neurological conditions.
