A Look At Conversational Hypnosis

By Josephine Minton


Communication is indeed a tool that can be very powerful. This can be illustrated in the case of conversational hypnosis. Conversational hypnosis is a process wherein a person's initial perception is altered with regards to the problem that is being faced.

This will have to be done through the interaction of the hypnotist and the patient.

A session of conversational hypnosis usually starts with a stage called the affinity. Hypnosis only works if there is rapport that exists between the hypnotist and the patient.

This can happen if the hypnotist makes the patient understand that he understands his situation completely.

Take for example we have a case of an agoraphobic person. This person has an inexplicable fear of crowds and the hypnotist is trying to coax him out of that situation. When the patient tells the hypnotist that "it is hard", the hypnotist should reply with something along the lines of "I know it is hard".

After the hypnotist has established rapport with the patient, they can now delve deeper into the process of conversational hypnosis through distraction.

This is done so that the patient can let go of his problem for a minute and unwittingly explore the idea of different solutions.

To follow through with the example I made before, in order for the hypnotist to distract the patient, he can ask something along the lines of "what do you think it would be like if you lived all alone on this planet?"

Although the question may not be logical but it is effective in distracting the patient.

Finally, once the patient is thinking about something else other than his problem, the hypnotist can now start working towards providing the solution of the primary problem.

Because the patient has finally relinquished control over his problem by not thinking about it, the hypnotist could probably say things like "life is so much different if you talked to people" and the like.
