Information On Covert Hypnosis And Its Purposes

By George Turner


Commonly called conversational hypnotism, covert hypnosis is a type of hypnotism that uses gestures and words to hypnotize a person, much like a conversation. The individual is not aware they are being hypnotized. This hypnotism is also known as the power of suggestion and there is still a lot that people do not completely understand about how it works.

There are many different people that rely on some level of conversational hypnotism. It is used in the media as a type of subliminal messaging. There are also sales companies that use this hypnotism as a means of subliminal suggestion. In a clinical setting, it can be used for various types of therapy to aid in the treatment of many different psychological issues as well as pain and sudden emotional 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.

This type of hypnotism involves a process of three steps. A rapport must be built with the person you seek to hypnotize, and this is accomplished by finding common things with the person and discussing different topics. Next, various questions are asked that force the individual to tap into their imagination to provide answers. By asking specific questions and forcing the use of imagination, you are gaining access to their subconscious at which point you can start implanting suggestions.

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.

It is also helpful when dealing with other problems. Many therapists are able to use the power of suggestion to help people who have uncontrollable behaviors that are dangerous to their health. Problems such as overeating or other eating disorders, smoking, substance abuse, and cutting may be stopped with regular hypnotherapy sessions.

Although there are several helpful ways to use the hypnotism, there are just as many ways that it can be used against people, for selfish gain. A criminal who learns how to use conversational hypnotism can convince people to do things for them or help them in some way. History has plenty of examples of psychotic or otherwise disturbed people using conversational hypnotism to manipulate people.

Although there are possibilities for those who learn the art of covert hypnosis to abuse it for their own selfish or illegal desires, generally it is a beneficial way to help people in therapy or gain business. While some people think that sales and marketing departments using this hypnotism may be just as bad as the criminals, others think about the money that goes into the economy and the jobs that are created or maintained. Ultimately, the benefits are numerous for a wide range of people.
