Hypnotic Persuasion

If you want to be able to persuade people to do what you want and predict their reactions before they do then persuasion using hypnosis is what you need.

Hypnotic persuasion is a method that uses confusion techniques to manipulate people to think how you want them to. Generally the majority of people have the same thinking and reaction patterns which makes it easy to persuade nearly anybody by using hypnotic techniques.


Some basic conversational hypnosis techniques
Hypnosis is about understanding our thinking patterns (neuro-linguistic programming) so that we can use common triggers to change our perception.

A good example of a common thinking pattern is that red triggers our reaction to stop and green accordingly to go.


Hypnotic inductions are a common way to prepare someone to be hypnotised. This involves putting someone into a relaxed state where their mind is more open to suggestion. You can probably relate to this when you are lying on the beach with your partner and soaking in some sun. Your partner mentions spending a lot of money, you do not really have, on fine dining that night. Generally you would oppose this suggestion but you are feeling great and relaxed and agree it would be a good idea.
A common induction technique is to have someone sitting down and reminding them of a time in their life that gave them joy. Push this experience until you get a reaction out of them that is a smile and how it brings back great memories. You have put them into a relaxed state and now it is time to put in some suggestions.


Suggestion and Misdirection - Ok so you have your “subject” in a relaxed state and they are open to suggestion. You do not want to just say what you want them to do but to lead the conversation in a direction towards your suggestion.

Example: Your children sound amazing and it’s so important to plan their future isn’t it… If only my parents had got some professional advise to plan my future it would have made such a difference. I heard of this great financial planner who I will definitely recommend to you because he is the best. I will check if he is available in the next week but it is going to be tough, but for you I will make the effort.

As you can see the positive was used to misdirect and lead into the suggestion and a story was created with a positive solution for the “subject”.
