Would’nt it be cool if you could get people everything you told them to do, or get people to swallow everything you say and accept it as the truth? This might sound too good to be truth, but with converational hypnosis you are able to do just that.

What is Conversational Hypnosis?

When we talk about conversational hypnosis we often think about hypnosis shows or street hypnosis. Conversational hypnosis is no magic or black art technique. By using some well tested strategies we are able to use conversational hypnosis to convince people about close to everything, and they will believe it as the truth. Milton Erickson is one of the leaders of conversational hypnosis and he discovered how people fall into different trances all through the day. Watching TV, waiting for the bus, reading, working and in other every day situations.

Milton Erickson found that it was possible to use this type of trance like situations to get into a prospects mind. He also found that he was able to use this to change the way the prospect was thinking and feeling about a certain thing. By removing the resistance towards his suggestions he could implement any thought into the prospects mind. He also found that it was simple to use rapport and confusion to get people to enter this trance like state of mind. Rapport, confusion and suggestion are the ground pillars of conversational hypnosis.

Rapport: You have probably tried to build rapport with a person or the people around you. Rapport can be defined as an agreement mode where you have the same thoughts and the same interests in common.

When you have built rapport with a person he is more acceptant towards your suggestion. He will think of you as an associate and a team member and your meanings will have much more influence towards him.

Confusion: When using confusion in conversational hypnosis your goal is to get the subject to go to you for advice. He gets unsure about the thing he is talking about and turns to you for an answer. Getting a subject into confusion can be as simple as saying “are you sure there are no better ways to do this?”

Suggestion: When you have established rapport and you have used confusion to get your subject to go to you for an answer it is your time to strike. Now it is your time to suggest a better way to handle the situation. You want to do this indirectly to make the subject think that he thought it out himself.

Conversational hypnosis is a great tool to direct people towards implementing your way of thinking. This is especially true if your way of thinking is helpful for them as well.
