Heterosuggestion

Definition of Heterosuggestion from the PharmacyDictionary.in

Heterosuggestion

A suggestion received from another person, as opposed to a suggestion one makes to oneself (autosuggestion).

Heterosuggestion is a term used to describe the process where suggestions are used by one person to influence another. These suggestions can be received directly or indirectly and can induce thoughts or actions in a person through external influence, often through suggestion or hypnosis.

This is a powerful tool in therapy and self-improvement, with applications in overcoming fears and addictions. It is contrasted with autosuggestion, which refers to suggestions we give ourselves. Being conscious of heterosuggestions can help individuals filter out negative influences and embrace positive ones.
