If you have ever watched Star Wars you probably remember how the Force was used to talk people into doing things or accepting things. Just by lifting up the hand Obi Wan Kenobi was able to tell people exactly what to think. This is fiction of course, but by using conversational hypnosis you are able to do much of the same things. You do not even have to lift your hand.
How Does Conversational Hypnosis Work?
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: We all have tried to strike rapport with people around us. Rapport can be defined as entering into an agreement mode with the other party. For example if you are talking to someone and he says, "This is not the way" then you need to agree with the person and acknowledge that he is right.
Rapport helps in getting the subject's guards down. In case you strike a rapport with the subject then the subject considers you as "his party" and then it becomes easy to influence him.
Confusion: Another principle of conversational hypnosis is confusion. This means that the subject needs to be confused so much so that he does not know what to do and turns to you for an answer. Sometimes confusion can result from a simple question like "do you really think that the right way to do it?"
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 an excellent tool to influence people to your way of thinking especially if your way is beneficial to them. However, word of caution here excess use of these principles may make the person see through your technique. Conversational hypnosis is a great technique to influence your lover or your friend to your way of thinking.
