Learn Hypnosis Techniques - What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think about
hypnosis techniques or about hypnosis? If the image you get is one of an eccentric doctor with thick glasses
swinging a pocket watch while slowly counting to ten, then you probably watched too many spy action movies.
Although the method described above is not completely inaccurate, there are others widely accepted as valid
hypnosis techniques: subliminal hypnosis, conversational hypnosis (better known as covert hypnosis), video
hypnosis, etc.
Before we get into details with some of the above methods, it is important to understand why people have
such an to learn hypnosis techniques and also why you shouldn’t use it for malicious objectives. Although most of
Hollywood’s productions describe hypnosis as the perfect tool of mind control, the real practice of hypnotism has
far less evil purposes. Most people accept hypnosis therapy in order to better understand or overcome an
emotional/mental problem or trauma. For example, people who develop an unexplained phobia or repulsion towards an
object, animal or even location, find out – while under hypnosis – that for several years their memory has
struggled to cover a childhood episode directly responsible for the defensive attitude towards that object (animal
or location).
Popular hypnosis techniques - Self Hypnosis
However, not all people are looking to overcome their fears by undergoing hypnosis. For example, many people
practice self-hypnosis for its recreational or motivational benefits. Self hypnosis techniques are various and
their outcome differs greatly from one practitioner to another. In fact, you may be practicing self-hypnosis on a
daily basis and not even know it. Remember that dreadful report your boss demanded within 24 hours, despite the
fact the weekend was just starting? All those times when you were mentally or orally repeating “I can do this. I
can do this. I can do this!” you were in fact practicing what specialists call direct suggestion, one of the most
popular self hypnosis techniques.
The example we presented earlier regarding overcoming a phobia falls under conversational hypnosis. During the
hypnosis session, the hypnotist – the person who assists the person undergoing hypnosis- gives a set of commands
which, if respected, indicate that the induction succeeded i.e. putting the person into a state of hypnosis. If the
first tasks are easy to carry out, such as answering simple, obvious questions, later tasks are designed to enter
deeper levels of the human subconscious.
Last but not least, there is also a technique called rapid hypnosis. It requires the hypnotist to establish a trust
relationship with the subject, but at the same time to maintain an authoritarian position. To better understand
this method, think of the circus magicians or illusionists. With the use of rapid hypnosis they control
the subjects who have volunteered into making the desired actions for the entertainment of the
audience.
Whether you need to motivate yourself for an important task, release stress or put behind a hurtful chapter of
your life, rest assure that hypnosis can bring you any of these benefits. As long as you have an open mind and you
don’t allow skepticism to dominate your judgment, your subconscious can receive the help it needs when you
learn hypnosis techniques like self-hypnosis.
