E. Solutions to problems/issues originate from this area.

The sub-conscious mind includes everything learned and experienced, as it is held here. It also houses "unwanted baggage," which refers to unresolved emotions or past traumas that are stored in the sub-conscious. The sub-conscious mind works in imagery, meaning it processes information and communicates through visual symbols and representations. Additionally, solutions to problems and issues often originate from the sub-conscious mind, as it has the ability to generate creative and innovative ideas.

Hypnosis is a normal physiological altered state similar to, but not the same as, being awake.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Hypnosis is indeed a normal physiological altered state that is similar to being awake but not exactly the same. During hypnosis, a person experiences a heightened state of focus and concentration, allowing them to be more open to suggestions and changes in perception. This state is different from being fully awake, as it involves a deep relaxation and a shift in consciousness. Therefore, the statement "Hypnosis is a normal physiological altered state similar to, but not the same as, being awake" is true.

______ rejected hypnosis as the tool to unlock repressed memories, favouring instead his techniques of free association and dream interpretation.
- A.
  
  Braid
- B.
  
  Mesmer
- C.
  
  Bernheim
- D.
  
  Freud
Correct Answer
D. Freud

Explanation
Freud rejected hypnosis as the tool to unlock repressed memories because he favored his own techniques of free association and dream interpretation. He believed that by allowing patients to freely associate their thoughts and express their dreams, he could gain insight into their unconscious mind and uncover repressed memories. Freud believed that hypnosis was unreliable and could potentially lead to false memories or suggestions from the hypnotist, which is why he chose to rely on his own methods instead.
