Term: Trigger

DEFINITION:

A posthypnotic suggestion of a sensory input—such as a sound, word, color, touch, taste, etc.—that results in the conscious or unconscious stimulation of the behavior that has been suggested. Thus, the taste of a sweet food might be used to trigger a sensation of fullness during weight normalization hypnotherapy.
