What Is The Power Of Conversational Hypnosis?

Some people remain skeptical about the power of conversational hypnosis

. No doubt, that the very idea of hypnosis lends itself easily to being misunderstood or made light of, but the fact is that hypnosis is a real concept, with real effects.

So much so, that the medical community has been embracing it as tool for behavior modification for decades, with some success. Even in the Orient, the trance like state that we know as hypnosis has been recognized for thousands of years and is relied on to assist the body to heal itself. This is called biofeedback in the western world.

Now several people have published books or articles on the abilities of conversational hypnosis. Since there is some interest in the use and the strength of conversational hypnosis, it will be useful to look at the characteristics of it and compare it to standard hypnosis.

One of the main differences in the two is the methodology. With standard hypnosis, there is often a fair amount of scene setting that goes along with putting someone into a hypnotic state. A darkened room, having the subject lie on a couch, usually an impressively upholstered affair, ticking metronomes, swinging chains, and other aspects of getting the mental buy in of the subject by intimating that something very special is about to take place are all typical components of a hypnotist's session.

This is important because it relies on psychology of the human mind to break down barriers of resistance that would otherwise make the process fail. With conversational hypnosis, this lead in is not generally needed, or used. In the application of conversational hypnosis, the tactic to get that vital initial buy in is far more subtle, but just as effective.

By simply controlling and modulating the speaker's voice and using certain keywords and speech patterns, the subject slowly gives up control of the conversation, and along with it the self-determination that would normally be present. This is where the strength of conversational hypnosis really kicks in. By lowering one's voice, very slowly and incrementally, the subject begins to work very hard to maintain contact with the speaker.

This accomplishes a few things; it weakens the speaker slightly because of the mental effort required for intensive focus. It also creates a mild dominant / submissive relationship between the two, setting up a scenario where suggestions will be accepted and adopted by the subject. Finally, by creating an environment where the subject must actually begin to focus visually on the speakers mouth in order to keep up with the fading verbal volume, the subject becomes further distracted from the actual words being said and becomes more compliant with any instructions given.

While all hypnosis could be said to be equally strong, the fact that conversational hypnosis relies on a much more disguised delivery method makes it more universal in application, therefore it is actually a much more useful tool. Give it some study and you will find it is easy to do. Try it out on some friends and gauge its power for yourself.
