The method of inducing the persons by making direct conversation or communication is known as conversational hypnosis. It is proved to be very effective to help the patients to overcome problems such as severe pain and other difficult conditions that a person has to face in his life.
The principles of conversational hypnosis that are quite different from the concept of conventional hypnosis are first conceived by Milton Erickson. According to him the trance state that is a must for hypnosis is not some thing that it can only acquired while the hypnotist and that subject is sitting alone in a room. Men fall in to this trance state of mind several times a day while they concentrate hard on something particular.
According to Erickson the deliberate attempt to bring a person forcefully to the trance state of mind may some times result in resistance from the part of the person whom you are trying to influence. To overcome this problem he developed certain techniques with which you can induce a person to hypnotism without his knowledge. He adopts different techniques known as rapport indirect suggestion and confusion to induce trance state in persons whom he wishes to influence.
Rapport is the first stage of conversational hypnosis in which the hypnotist attempts to win the affinity of the subject by listening and agreeing with what he says. At this stage the hypnotist should agree with whatever the client or the subject opined about a particular situation. Such a step will make the client more comfortable with the hypnotist and ultimately the hypnotist can win the confidence of the client.
The second stage of conversational hypnosis is confusion. At this stage the hypnotist will attempt to confuse the issue by distracting his attention to some other issues. This stage is also known as distraction. Deliberately distract the client's mind by distracting his thoughts to some other direction that has connection with the topic that they are discussing. The object of distracting the thoughts of the client is to relieve the mind of the client momentarily from the topic that is disturbing him. Often it may help him to find out a solution for the problem that he is facing.
In the final step known as Suggestion or proposition the hypnotist will help the client by introducing new propositions or indirect suggestions that may help the client to find a way out of the problem.
