Conversational Hypnosis

This is a form of hypnosis that is designed to allow you to persuade someone in one sitting and without their knowledge.

Background
This unorthodox form of hypnosis was originally created by therapist Milton Erickson who dealt with war veterans post WWII and post traumatic stress. He did not believe in using hypnotic inductions but instead used confusion techniques, analogies and forced his subjects to question themselves. This has been passed on by present day hypnotherapist Igor Ledochowski who is now the authority on conversational hypnosis.


How does it work?
The way it works is that you can meet a complete stranger and in one conversation convince them to do what you want with out them realising. This persuasion technique can be used in a sales pitch, picking up someone in a bar/club, convincing anyone to do anything really. It’s all about using a person’s thinking processes against them which forces them to question their decisions and in this way you can use your own suggestions to persuade them. (Ok so what the heck does that mean? I will give an example below to make it easier to understand.)


Conversational hypnosis example - convincing someone to go on a holiday
So the beginning is hearing about the persons problems as to why they can not go on a holiday such as: to busy, not enough money, wrong time of year, do it another time if they will ever get the time off.
So now you have to make this person questions themselves so what you do next is confirm their negative reasons to a degree where it is ridiculous and there is no hope. As human beings we like to complain but we never want to confirm that our ’wants’ will never happen so this will force the person to question themselves and try to find a solution.
They will start to figure out that they have some leave saved up and also have a little savings that they can use so it is actually quite a possibility. Then you confirm their solutions and agree that you are wrong and they are right because the next best thing that we like to hear as humans is how great we are, this technique never gets old.
So now that you have confirmed their great idea and they are feeling good about how clever they are they will go through with it because they do not want to look stupid.


What is a good learning resource?
The person you want to learn from is Igor Ledochowski because he is the world authority on conversational hypnosis as I mentioned earlier. He developed a course called the ‘Power of Conversational Hypnosis” that is definitely worth checking out.
