What is Conversational Hypnosis?

 

“When you want new results, it requires new thinking.” – Richard Bandler

Milton Erickson was one of the greatest hypnotherapists in the history. He is known as the master of conversational hypnosis.

Conversational hypnosis consists of hypnotic language patterns of Milton Erickson and other great persuaders – ‘artfully vague’ language which encourages the listener to project their own meaning onto the words being spoken.

In the process of going deep inside and searching for this individual meaning, trance-like experiences and trance phenomenon occur.

These powerful patterns often use confusion or conscious overload to help create an environment in which the mind is ready to learn something new.

Now, there is also another side of the history of ‘Conversational Hypnosis’.
Hypnosis is a very old practice but it became the topic of discussion in late 19th century.

A man named, James Braid, studied mesmerism and magnetism. He found that there is no magic in it. It was more to do with language, suggestion, specific thought we want others to think on, seeding of ideas in other’s mind and elegant way of communication only.

As such, he came with the concrete explanation of modern hypnosis. When people were in a hypnotic state, he noticed that they were sort of sleepy and drowsy, and it looked very much like they were in a sleep-like state.

This is still an incomplete explanation of hypnosis. He researched further and realized that people can be hypnotized with open and wide eyes. He changed the name to ‘Monoideaism’. This word is not familiar to us, but the meaning is really interesting.

Mono = one specific, a single
Ideaism = Idea, Thought

In hypnosis, people are encouraged to focus on one specific thought or idea to such an extent that it becomes real for them.

You make them pay attention to an idea so intensely that their conscious mind doesn’t analyze and their unconscious mind accepts that idea, thought or opinion effortlessly.

Conversational Hypnosis is a set of linguistic invitations to the unconscious. We invite the unconscious mind to take part in what we are discussing.

We invite the mind to go deep inside and access helpful emotions and memories, powerful experiences and symbols, empowering stories and understandings.

By accessing the resources, the person is much more able to make a choice from a position of resourcefulness and empowerment.

Conversational hypnosis is an elegant way to communicate with others, especially with their subconscious mind.

“Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.” – Buddha

Why Do You Need to Learn Conversational Hypnosis?

 

“Communication – the human connection – is the key to personal and career success.” – Paul J. Meyer

Communication is the key to success. We cannot live and prosper without communication.

No matter how much knowledge you have, no matter how confident, positive, courageous, you will get your outcomes from other people only.

Everything you now have or ever will have, become, do or experience, you will get with and through communication with yourself and others. LIFE IS COMMUNICATION!!!

Your network will determine your net-worth.

Now, we speak to people every day and everywhere.

What’s the ultimate outcome we expect from our EVERY communication? Productive relationship!!

We want people to agree with us. We want them to understand us and accept our idea or opinion.

But remember that people always ask one question to themselves.

WIIFM = What is in it for me?

People are selfish and that’s how they should be.

People don’t care about you and others. People care about themselves only.

People hold different ideas and opinions than you.

You need to understand them in order to make them understand you.

Now, people are driven by emotions.

People are far more receptive when they are in good emotions.

Just a question, to get what people spend almost all of their money?

But the most of the money in the world is spent on getting HAPPINESS.

Yes, people spend to be happy.

On the other hand, when people are happy, they are least resistant to persuasion and stop thinking logically.

That’s exactly what we are going to do by using conversational hypnosis. We want to create an emotional response in people because emotional response is an unconscious response.

We will learn how we can make people happy as well as least resistant so that people understand you easily.

Let’s understand why and how people are resistant.

We have a defence mechanism in our mind which stops us from potential danger, loss and insecurity which is really good.

When you suggest an idea, opinion or information, the unconscious mind rings a bell of unfamiliarity. When mind finds, sees, hears or feels something unfamiliar, our conscious mind critically analyses and decides whether to continue with it or not.

Now, once our unconscious mind is accepting or put this idea on a test, it accepts without any resistance.

When our conscious and unconscious minds understand the familiarity, they accept easily.

This is exactly what we are going to achieve using conversational hypnosis.

 

 

Have a look at this image:

In this image,
A = Your opinion, understanding, idea, perspective and information
B = Their opinion, understanding, idea, perspective and information

Now, look from the perspective of B. They cannot see your opinion. There is a difference between your perspective and B’s perspective.
This is what we call disagreement.

What is disagreement?
Disagree doesn’t mean you are unkind. It’s just disagreement. It’s just a difference of cluster of the ideas, opinions, etc.

It’s OK to respect others point of view.

The only thing ‘B’ can see is the wall. They don’t hold the same reality as you. They are not at the place where you are, that’s what makes a difference.

Your job is to understand them first. Once you reach to their understanding, they will see you and accept you as a familiar person because they realize that you are understanding them.

Then as they don’t know how to reach to your place ‘A’ (Your understanding, idea, opinion etc.), your job is to encourage them to move along the maze because only you know how to go from point ‘B’ to point ‘A’.

They might ask you some questions and have doubts because the journey from point ‘B’ to point ‘A’ is still unfamiliar for them. (Remember that their unconscious mind’s defence mechanism is always active.)

Once they reach to your point ‘A’, they will hold the same understanding as you.
Then there is no disagreement because both of you are at the same place.

Now, we are going to help/inspire people to come to our point ‘A’ happily (without being pushy or making them feel bad).

Conversational hypnosis will give tools to help people to understand, trust and accept you with comfort and trust you.

Exercise:

Observe the different point of view you and others are having and we call it the disagreement.

Notice what understanding they are having and what understanding you are having. Just observe as a third person.

The Ethics of Using Conversational Hypnosis

 

“Action indeed is the sole medium of expression for ethics.” – Jane Addams

People often ask if using Conversational-Hypnosis language patterns is ethical.
Well, any set of tools can be used for “good” or “evil.” Conversational Hypnosis is no different in that regard.

We encourage the use of these patterns in an ethical matter. We define ethical as going for a goal that is beneficial to both parties in a communication. You can think of it as “win/win.”

As instructors, we use these patterns to help people accomplish goals that our students have expressed to us. If someone comes to us to learn something, we’d better help them learn on both the conscious and unconscious levels! To do otherwise would be unethical.

It doesn’t force people to listen to you. It opens them up to consider you. When you know the outcome of your communication and it’s good for them, then it’s completely ethical to do it.

You can cheat people for once or maybe twice but you can’t fool people for the lifetime. If you do harm to others, others will harm you too somehow. Law of Karma works.

People are good at taking revenge. Negative marketing is more powerful than positive marketing. You should use this skill ethically otherwise you will not run for long time.
