Covert hypnosis is based on the revolutionary breakthrough of Milton H. Erickson. It is founded on the principle of being able to persuade, influence, and convince the people around us in any social conversation or professional setting to perform the actions or have the emotions that you would like them to.
Conversational hypnosis is taught widely in courses on sales, dating, marketing and advertisement. In most conversations we had with other people, we either accept or reject what the person is saying subconsciously before even taking it into consideration.
By practicing verbal hypnosis, people discover how to create emotional connection with others and those attachments far outweigh the subject during the discussion no matter how good the content itself is.
Conversational hypnosis techniques can be naturally practiced by expressing personal experiences into the dialogue. Another important technique is to suggest that he or she will have a great experience, and convey the idea that they may miss out if they do not take up the offer. Humans frequently regret missing out on great experiences or deals. Highlight for them all of the positives associated with the decision, activity, or product, and point out all the wonderful feelings the person will have.
Most anyone can fall under the spell of hypnosis but the person needs to be open to this, and listen to every single word. In order for this type of hypnosis to work the person must have their guard down.
With Erickson's methods, it is possible to hypnotize anyone indirectly and naturally during the course of a conversation. Using these skills, anyone can become a greater influence at work, gain more understanding from a spouse, and develop much closer connections with clients and customers.
With indirect hypnosis, patients may or may not be aware of the fact that they are being hypnotized. Instead, the ideas are planted into their subconscious mind and the patient may later realize that the problem they had is now fixed. Due to the conversational method used, this technique is also often referred to as covert hypnosis.
