==Typological distinctions== [[Émile Coué]] identified two very different types of self-suggestion: * intentional, "''reflective autosuggestion''": made by deliberate and conscious effort, and * unintentional, "''spontaneous auto-suggestion''": which is a "natural phenomenon of our mental life … which takes place without conscious effort [and has its effect] with an intensity proportional to the keenness of [our] attention".<ref>Baudouin (1920), pp.33-34.</ref> In relation to Coué's group of "spontaneous auto-suggestions", his student [[Charles Baudouin]] (1920, p. 41) made three further useful distinctions, based upon the sources from which they came: * "Instances belonging to the representative domain<br /> (sensations, mental images, dreams, visions, memories, opinions, and all intellectual phenomena)." * "Instances belonging to the affective domain<br /> (joy or sorrow, emotions, sentiments, tendencies, passions)." * "Instances belonging to the active or motor domain<br /> (actions, volitions, desires, gestures, movements at the periphery or in the interior of the body, functional or organic modifications)."
