What is
Conversational Hypnosis?
There is no such thing as hypnosis. This is a proven fact. For
instance, if you see someone become so rigid that they can be balanced
with their head on one chair and their feet on another, and someone
else can sit on them, it is perfectly normal. Hypnosis doesn't exist.
Conversational hypnosis doesn't exist either. At this point you might
be shaking your head a bit.
Milton Erikson and other well-known hypnotists used no swinging watches
or blinking lights when they "hypnotized" people. They merely chatted.
When he was called before the medical board for malpractice (he was
using hypnosis, which of course, does not exist), after dismissing the
case, the doctors on the review panel said they felt a bit woozy during
the meeting, but they attributed it to having just eaten a big lunch.
This article will look closer at conversational hypnosis.
Have you ever been in a thinking rut? You're poring over a problem, but
no matter what you do, you can't think of any kind of solution. You
keep thinking "What do I do?" over and over, but no answer is in sight.
What is happening is that you keep thinking "What do I do?" over and
over so much that the answer doesn't have a prayer of getting through.
But are you really sure that in the next minute or two that answer
won't come to mind? And suddenly, there it is! Are you surprised? I'm
not.
Let's go back a few steps and find out why this technique is effective.
Our first step is to create a connection. We recognize that you are
stuck on this problem. We agree with you. It is possible that we agree
that your problem has no solution whatsoever. We can emphasize this
point if we need to. This creates a resistance in you.
Our next step is to state a fact. That fact is: You can't be
positive… absolutely positive… that you won't
find the answer to your problem in the next minute or two. Maybe you
won't find the answer in the next minute, but can you be totally sure
you won't?
This exercise breaks you out of your thinking rut. Even if you pause to
wonder for even a split second that there may be a chance you'll find
an answer, it means you stopped thinking about your problem, however
briefly. You can't think of two things at the same time, and this frees
up your brain to allow the answer to come through.
This is planting a suggestion. You're wondering now, which makes you
open to receiving new information. Now we say, "I'm not sure why, but I
have a feeling you may be a lot more certain you'll be able to find an
answer to your problem now."
Let's look at another scenario.
A few months ago, I wasn't feeling up to par. I had a cold coming on,
and I was not feeling well. I told myself, "You feel awful. Ugh." Since
I had made this empathetic connection to my inner self, I then said,
"But then, how do you know you won't feel a bit better in a few
minutes… maybe even as fast as the next few seconds?"
This got me wondering, and I stopped thinking about how awful I felt. I
told myself, "Hey, you're feeling a bit better now, aren't you?" I
followed that with, "Wow, this method really works well!" And suddenly
I was feeling better and could go on with my day.
Can you see how this worked? The effect was guaranteed, even though I
knew exactly what was supposed to happen. It worked because it followed
the rules our brains use to change thought patterns.
Here are the steps to succeed at conversational hypnosis:
CONNECTION
CONFUSION
SUGGESTION
While you should not be afraid to use these techniques, remember that
you should not suggest to others that they should do things that will
harm them in any way… including emotionally, financially, or
their status. This technique can seem like magic. Look to the Karmic
Law… you will reap what you sow.
Practice on yourself or where this may be of benefit to your own
situation. See what happens.

The Secrets Behind Conversational
Hypnosis
There is a technique to give hypnotic suggestions during a natural
conversation called conversational hypnosis. It differs from
conventional hypnotism where the person to be hypnotized is lying on a
sofa focusing on the hypnotist because this technique has the hypnotist
and client simply chatting in a very casual manner. Even with
how different the interaction is, this technique is very effective when
used with various situations and traumas in someone's life.
The Power of Communication
The whole idea behind this concept is interaction. The hypnotist nudges
the client into a state of altered perception about the situation that
is being discussed. This is accomplished by asking questions or stating
facts that direct the client to reevaluate the situation, allowing
alternative answers to filter through.
In summary:
Affinity: The hypnotist must begin the conversational hypnosis session
by identifying with the client by listening and establishing a rapport
over the situation. For instance, maybe the client has a fear of
crowds. The hypnotist should agree with how the client feels,
whether it be fear, anxiety, or isolation. He must create an affinity
and show that he genuinely understands the client's situation. He must
convince the client that he sees the problem almost as clearly as the
client does.
Distraction: The next step the hypnotist takes is to distract the
client's mind by posing questions that encourage the mind to explore
other things. For example, he could ask, "What would it be like to be
the last person on earth?" This is a purely hypothetical question, and
is slightly absurd, but it starts the client thinking what it would be
like to live without crowds. The entire goal is to encourage the
client's mind to forget about the problem for a moment or so and let
other thoughts and solutions come through.
Proposition: Now that the client is considering other thoughts that are
connected to his problem, it is time for the hypnotist to
suggest propositions that will help the client to deal with his
problem. The conversational hypnosis session may end with a suggestion
for the client to consider what his future may be if he chose to be a
little more friendly, or what may happen if he cut himself off from
everyone completely.
This technique is about assisting someone to come to a helpful
conclusion and make positive decisions based on what he can envisage.
It only works if the therapist and the client are on the same page. The
technique makes progress possible.

The
Philosophy of Conversational Hypnosis
Remember the scene in Star Wars where Obi Wan Kenobi simply looks into
the guard's eyes and persuades him that the three people he is looking
for are not the three standing right in front of him… even
though they are. Can you imagine having an influence like that over
other people?
Conversational hypnosis suggests it is possible.
Of course, nothing is as simple as it sounds. The technique is actually
a progression of well-arranged strategies and manipulations that can
help bring other people to see your point of view.
Milton Erikson first envisioned the philosophy of conversational
hypnosis. He thought that trance states were not rare events that
needed to be induced through elaborate measures. He thought that people
slip into trance states many times each day, like when they're waiting
in line or concentrating hard on something.
Erickson's theory stated that a client being induced into a trance
state or if direct suggestions were made to them may lead to a
resistance on the part of the client. He believed it was much more
effective to establish a rapport, use indirect suggestions and
confusion to cause trance states and influence agreement.
Rapport
First, the hypnotist needs to establish a rapport with the client. He
needs to agree with what they say. For example, the client may say,
"There's no way out of this mess," and the hypnotist should respond
with "You're right. There is no way out of this."
Confusion
Next, the hypnotist needs to confuse the issue. Sometimes this is
possible with a single question like "But even if there is no way out
of this, can you be absolutely positive that you won't find a solution
pops into your mind in the next few minutes?"
Another method to create confusion is to encourage resistance in the
client. The hypnotist could say something like, "This problem is too
difficult. No one could possibly solve it. There is no way out of
this… you don't stand a chance…" At some point,
the client will usually begin arguing that this problem isn't so
difficult at all.
Yet another technique to stimulate confusion is to remark that the
client needs to do more of the same thing that isn't working. An
example would be to suggest someone who was overweight to keep eating
so they will gain more weight.
Suggestion
Finally, the hypnotist needs to make an indirect suggestion like,
"You're feeling a little more hopeful now, aren't you?" or maybe "I'm
not sure why, but you seem more optimistic than you were a little while
ago."
As you can see, conversational hypnosis isn't easy to accomplish, and
takes training.
If you would like to learn more, there are online courses available.
Milton Erickson's biography also makes interesting reading if you are
interested in the history of this technique.

The Power of Conversational
Hypnosis - Controlling How
People Respond to You
Until I reached a certain level in my own personal development, I never
paid much attention to the educational work that has been done on
hypnosis. It dawned on me that one of my biggest obstacles
was how much influence I had on my own interactions with others. I
wanted to change that, and so I started working with conversational
hypnosis.
I discovered that this technique would let me persuade people to see my
point of view every day. Some may call this manipulation, but I think
of it as a more powerful form of communication. How many of us have
spent literally years hitting people over the head (figuratively, of
course! trying to get them to agree with us?
Being heavy-handed may influence people, but you won't make any
friends. If you use conversational hypnosis, however, you can influence
people with subtlety. People became happy to follow my lead instead of
being disgruntled about it. Believe me, it is much easier to work with
people who are happy rather than someone who is mumbling to themselves
all day.
Learning this technique is more than trying to control people. It
teaches you to read people. You need to pay attention to body language,
expressions, gestures and hesitation in conversation to really
understand where a person is coming from. These skills help you to
learn how to approach a person and establish an instant rapport that
makes getting along with people much easier.
This technique can help you get along better with your colleagues and
clients. It is useful if you are a boss or a subordinate. It can affect
all areas of your life… from your family to job interviews
or presentations.
I've always been someone who likes to get out in public and work for a
cause. If you've ever done this, you know that no matter what you do or
what you stand for, someone will be upset or annoyed by it. You end up
spending most of your time arguing with people instead of sharing your
information about your cause or organization. With conversational
hypnosis, you can easily deflect the arguments and get more support for
your cause, even with strangers. It sure makes these jobs a lot more
satisfying!
Think what this kind of skill can do in your personal life with those
you need to work with on a regular basis. Need a raise? No problem.
He'll think it was his idea. Need to buy a car? Get a great deal.
Shopping for a mortgage? Well, you get the idea here.
If you are ready to accomplish more than you've ever dreamed of, it is
time to learn about conversational hypnosis. You will be amazed at how
much it can help you achieve your goals in life.
