Information About Covert Hypnosis And Common Purposes

By George Turner


There are different types of hypnotism. Covert hypnosis, otherwise known as conversational hypnosis, is one type. It is the use of words and body language or gestures, to hypnotize an individual without their knowledge. Some people also know this type of hypnotism as subliminal suggestion, or simply the power of suggestion. While many people consider this hypnotism as a type of brainwashing, the truth is that it is just a way of getting into the subconscious mind and making suggestions that work to change what a person thinks or does.

Conversational hypnotism is used by many different kinds of people. Marketing and sales professionals use this hypnotism to provide suggestions to potential customers in their advertisements and commercials. It can be compared to subliminal messaging, but more like suggestion instead of brainwashing. This hypnotism is particularly helpful in clinical applications for therapy sessions that help people with psychological problems, chronic pain, and distress.

A person who has learned to hypnotize in this manner has the ability to make it appear as though a normal conversation is taking place. Subtle suggestions are made to the person being hypnotized. In this way, desires and thoughts in the subconscious can be manipulated. The goal is to change what a person thinks about saying or doing something.

There are three steps involved in conversational hypnotism. Building a rapport with the person to be hypnotized is the first, and requires finding common aspects with the individual and asking questions or discussing things that make the person feel more comfortable. The second step is to ask specific questions that rely on imagination and allow you to have access into the subconscious. Finally, you can make the suggestions desired in order to influence the person.

Conversational hypnotism used to be most famous when it was used in performances and as tricks by different individuals claiming to have special abilities to influence the mind. Previously and more currently, it is becoming more known as a beneficial treatment aid for therapists and other medical professionals. Psychotherapists use this hypnotism to help patients work through difficult situations or cope with trauma.

Medical professionals of different areas have used conversational hypnotism for treatment as well. The behaviors of people that may be harmful have been changed. Problems such as overeating, substance abuse, and smoking can be handled with multiple sessions of this hypnotism.

There are several ways that conversational hypnotism can be harmful to people. If criminals, for example, are able to learn how to hypnotize in this manner, they gain the ability to manipulate people to do what they want and have no idea why they decided to do such things. Throughout history, people have been able to hypnotize individuals for their own gains, both immoral and illegal.

As with any type of treatment or hypnosis, it is always possible for someone to figure out how to misuse the ability and wreak havoc. Even though there are many benefits that exist when you learn the art of covert hypnosis, it is important to pay attention to what people are saying to you, or how you present things to people. The mind is a complicated thing and not one that should be used for entertainment.
