In forensic psychology, certain authoritative commands like 'freeze' can create lasting psychological and physical responses in individuals experiencing confinement, as the mind's freedom in isolation makes it more susceptible to the power of such words, which can trigger subconscious reactions that persist even after the original event.

POV Hypnosis - "Freeze!" (Part 1)
Added:Hello. I'm so glad that we were able to sit down together. Um, I just want to say before we get started, this is between you and me and none of this is recorded, so you don't have to worry.
And also, I'm not a cop. I'm a forensic psychologist. So, I am here to more understand where you're coming from and see if we can come to a dual conclusion so that the higher-ups know how to deal with things. But for right now, all I want you to focus on is me and you and me. No, no, no. You are completely safe.
No one is trying to interrogate you. I am just here to see if I can get a better understanding of how your mind works and what's been going on. Truly, yes. I understand we have this screen between us, but I want you to understand that you can trust me. You can trust me.
Like I said, I know we've got this screen between us, but it truly is just you and me. So, you don't have to think about anyone else. You can be completely honest. You can trust me.
You can stay composed. You don't have to worry. My priority here is your comfort, your comfort level, and seeing if we can make you even more comfortable so that you can be open with me. So if your mind begins to wander to your guilt, you can just bring it back to the sound of my voice because that's all you really need to focus on.
I am truly here to just help you relax, clear your thoughts, find a sense of relaxation.
I think we can accomplish that together.
Confinement can be very isolating and intimidating, but I want you to know that this where we are right now is a safe space.
I want you to feel comfortable.
You see, I need you to know that this wall between us, this isn't meant to keep me safe from you. It's meant to keep you safe from everyone else out there.
Where you are right now is safe. You are in a safe space. Speaking to me is part of your safe space and nobody can hurt you there. Nobody can judge you there.
You are completely free, completely safe, completely comfortable.
You are free with your own thoughts, your imagination, everything hiding in that subconscious is free to come out, expose itself safely.
And you know, you could actually think and say that you are more free in there than people are around in their ordinary lives walking the streets.
you have an advantage because they're so busy and just all over the place with work and life. They don't have time like you do to sit and think and allow your brain to wander. Allow your mind to free itself.
So, you know, it's kind of ironic that in confinement your mind is freer than anyone else. So, you don't even care that your body is locked inside of this cage. It might seem scary, but in truth, that small room is your safe space. You are safe. You are comfortable. Your mind is free. So, it doesn't even bother you that you're shackled to the floor. that you have these physical restraints on your body because those physical restraints cannot touch your mind and your mind is free.
You can focus on me.
One 2 3.
Focus on me.
Your mind is free.
Free free.
Free.
Free.
Do you know sometimes having a free mind can almost be scary because it could just wander so much and take you places that you don't intend. But that is why you need a focus. A focus. A focus.
Focus on me. You are free. Focus on me.
On the count of three, you focus. 1 2 3.
Focus.
One 2 3. Focus on me. 1 2 3. Focus on me. One 2 3. Focus on me. One 2 3. Focus on me.
1 2 3 focus on me. 1 2 3 focus on me.
Because in isolation, you don't have anything else to focus on. Look around you. The walls are bare. One single color.
You have nothing to truly distract you.
Inside of that small room, your mind can wander. Your mind is free. And it won't get lost. It's safe in that small little cell. But when you see me, it's cathartic because you have something to focus on, something to distract you, something to get you out of your own head.
for a change. Your body and your mind are in sync.
Just stuck in place safe with nowhere to go.
It almost makes you think back to when you were arrested.
And you can think of the word they said when they pulled out their guns and accosted you.
You remember the emotion you made when they said that word?
And you remember how your body got stiff when they said that word?
And that's how your body has been ever since.
It's like that word has such power to hold your mind from then till now and to keep your body stuck in place.
It's like you knew the power of the word all along.
So that when you heard it, your body reacted from the start without even thinking. Without even thinking. Without even thinking. It was natural.
Natural.
Natural.
Natural.
Like a subconscious command.
And now that you're so familiar with that word, you will respond even stronger.
And that word is freeze.
