How Do You Hope To Use Conversational Hypnosis?2:04
Introduction To Conversational Hypnosis Demonstration 'My Friend John'1:27
Conversational Hypnosis Demonstration: My Friend John1:42
This video is a demonstration of conversational hypnosis being used to induce 'hypnosis'. Through the beginning part of this course you will learn about hypnosis, what it is, and how it relates to trance. You will also learn what you need to know to be able to do this technique. This technique is guiding and focusing attention and encouraging the client to imagine and think about the experience of going into hypnosis, but without directly telling them to imagine or think about these things. I am using head movements and a shift in my tone of voice to give a pattern for the subject to pick up on so that the subject can recognise when I am talking generally and when I am giving suggestions or ideas for them to follow. I am being very attentive to the subject and describing what I am seeing but under the guise of talking about someone who once asked me about what it is like to go into hypnosis.

Recognising Hypnotic Patterns4:45
This lecture explains how hypnotic patterns need to be recognised by the person being hypnotised for that person to respond to the hypnosis. They don't need to recognise the pattern consciously, but on some level they need to be able to recognise the pattern, which is why hypnosis and hypnotic techniques work best on people with average to above average intelligence.

Demonstration: Guiding & Focusing Attention0:45
In this video I am demonstrating guiding and focusing attention. I have the subject focus on my finger. I pass my finger down lower guiding the subjects attention, as the eyes lower they start to want to close, partly due to the action of lowering which makes the eyelids lower, and partly because the focusing causes a little fatigue, and the suggestion I am giving imply eyes closing and entering hypnosis, and when they close I suggest 'all the way' which implies he is going 'all the way' somewhere.

Description

Join over 2,500 students on this comprehensive conversational hypnosis certification course.

This conversational hypnosis course isn't the same as many courses on conversational hypnosis or covert hypnosis. My view is that many courses over-complicate how to do conversational covert hypnosis. I have over 20 years experience with conversational covert hypnosis, I can talk using all the impressive hypnotic language, but anyone who has heard a conversational hypnotist speak using Ericksonian hypnotic language patterns will know that it doesn't sound very conversational, it sounds like you are doing hypnosis, or at least that you are 'talking funny'. I have an Ericksonian Hypnotherapy course that teaches these skills for those that want them, but there is no need to learn most of the language pattern skills to be able to do conversational hypnosis, and in fact for beginners it can prevent being good at conversational hypnosis because people can focus too heavily on using hypnotic language, so they stop sounding like they are having a 'normal' conversation and instead sound like they are doing hypnosis.

Conversational covert hypnosis doesn't need the use of lots of complicated language patterns, it just needs an understanding of certain principles. What is needed is an understanding of what hypnosis is, both the state people call hypnosis and the act of doing hypnosis, and an understanding of trance. Next people need to know what makes individuals go into trance states, and what deepens trance. Once you know these areas you know what you need to do to conversationally guide people into any trance state, not just hypnosis, but love, excitement, happiness, relaxation, or any other trance state you can think of. You will end up using many of the hypnotic language techniques, but these will be happening spontaneously and used in a natural way that fits with what you are saying.

This course on conversational hypnotherapy is structured into sections to help you get a good grounding to build on by learning about hypnosis, about trance. Learning the main hypnosis theories and models and a brief history about hypnosis. Then there is a section on the different ways trance and hypnosis are induced, and it is from learning about these different ways people naturally enter trance which allows you to know how to induce trance or hypnosis in others in a wide range of different ways, and in a variety of settings.

As I am a therapist I have made this course targeted mainly at those that are learning these skills for therapy, counselling or coaching, so there is a section teaching a range of hypnotherapeutic techniques, and a section on how to help clients transfer changes from therapy sessions into their everyday life and carry those changes on into the future, and near the end of the course I cover how to use disassociation, and association therapeutically, and about abreactions and what to do if someone has an abreaction.

This conversational hypnosis course is made up of video lectures with PDF notes and a quiz at the end of each section. During the section on different ways of inducing trance there are video lecture of inductions for you to follow so that you can experience being hypnotised using the processes described in the course as well as re-listening to those lectures intentionally not following along and allowing yourself to be hypnotised and instead focusing on analysing what is being done. The course can be completed in about ten hours, but you are likely to want to review lectures again as you practice what you are learning.

(Different places in the world have different rules around who can practice as a hypnotherapist. My view is to practice as a hypnotherapist you should undertake extensive live classroom tuition (minimum 120 hours of classroom tuition and minimum 450 hours total training) which teaches therapy and then only work with those client groups you have been trained to work with. If you are totally untrained but have an interest in learning conversational hypnotherapy this course will teach you what you need to know, but I would recommend you shouldn't work as a hypnotherapist based just on taking this course. This course will still teach you advanced communication skills which can be helpful in a wide range of life situations. If you have trained in hypnotherapy, counselling, coaching, or NLP or other similar fields then conversational hypnotherapy should make great additional skills for your tool-box to use with clients you have been trained to work with, and this course should also give you a greater understanding about your use of language and other skills with clients even if you aren't doing hypnosis)

Who this course is for:

This conversational hypnosis course is for people who want to know how to do hypnosis during 'normal' conversations to influence others
This conversational hypnosis course is for counsellors, psychotherapists, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) practitioners and hypnotherapists that have very little experience or knowledge of conversational hypnosis but would like to learn the skills to help them in their practice
This conversational hypnosis course is for anyone who wants to increase their effectiveness at influencing and creating change in others
This course isn't for people who are already experienced in conversational hypnosis, indirect hypnosis or Ericksonian hypnosis
