Hypnosis Training: A Lesson In Resistance Removal

David-Van-Arrick---Solid-Go125-130Many people while undergoing hypnosis training are taught about a concept called  “Resistance” unfortunately beyond the simple instruction about giving a good hypnotic  “pre-talk”, almost no one in the hypnosis training industry, or the conversational hypnosis training  industry for that matter EVER seems to address this forgotten domain of covert hypnotic influence.  Makes you start to wonder if they are either holding out on you, or… (maybe they just don’t know how to deal with it themselves hmmm…)

Now

I have to tell you I am on a lot of other hypnotists mailing lists. So obviously, I get A LOT of Email.

Most of it is the hypnotic equivalent of “dog poop” but every now and then I find a few gold nuggets hidden in the poop.

One of which I’d like to share with you and maybe even pass on the challenge to you.

Recently I did  survey to my 1200 plus STEALTH Hypnosis Students safely Tucked away in the STEALTH Hypnosis Training Head Quarters. I was getting ready to launch the next level in their training and I wanted to know exactly what areas they wanted their bonus materials to focus on.

No Surprise to me, but the number one area people wanted to know about was “how to deal with resistance” well the truth is dealing with resistance is very easy once you understand resistance.

And You MUST understand if it you Want To Master How To Defeat It. Notice I didn’t say over come it.

That is what most “persuaders” try to do.

All resistance is a Hypnotic Phenomenon. i.e. a hypnotic operator that can be utilized.

A true master of covert hypnosis is a master of “Utilization.

Utilization is a hypnosis concept that means the ability to use situation or phenomenon that arises in such a way as to use to enhance your hypnotic effects and find a way to use it to generate hypnotic leverage on the mind of the subject.

Recently I got an email from Hypnosis Expert Clifford Mee ( you may know him from www.streethypnosis.com)

In his email Clifford Recounts a Story About the  famous Conversational Hypnosis Master “Milton Erickson”… you May have heard of him Winking smile

Here’s Clifford’s  Email and Challenge for You. ( post your analysis Below in the form of a comment)

A retired policeman once told the legendary hypnotist, Milton Erickson…

"I have emphysema, high blood pressure, and, as you can see, I am grossly
overweight.

   "I drink too much. I eat too much.

   "I want a job but my emphysema and blood pressure prevent that.

   "I would like to cut down on my smoking. I’d like to get rid of it.

   "I’d like to quit drinking about a fifth of whiskey a day and I’d like to eat sensibly."

   Erickson ask him, "Are you married?"

   The policeman replied, "No, I’m a bachelor. I do my own cooking, but
there’s a restaurant right around the corner where I often visit ".

   Erickson said, "So, there’s a handy restaurant around the corner where you
can dine. Where do you buy your cigarettes?"

   He said he bought two cartons at a time.

   Erickson pointed out, "In other words, you buy cigarettes not for today, but
for the future. Now since you do most of your own cooking, where do you shop?"

   The policeman said, "Fortunately, there’s a little grocery store right
around the corner. That’s where I get my groceries and cigarettes."

"Where do you get your liquor?"

   The policeman replied there was one right next door to the grocery.

Erickson summarized the situation.

"So you have a handy restaurant, grocery
and liquor store near your house.

   "You say you want to jog, but you can’t.

   "However, you CAN walk.

   "All right, buy your cigarettes one pack at a time. Walk across town to buy your
pack.

   "That will get you in shape.

   "As for groceries, don’t go to the one by your place. Find another one at least
a mile away.

   "And buy JUST enough for one meal. That’s three nice walks a day.

   "As for the liquor, you can drink all you want to.

   "Take your first drink at a bar at least a mile away.

   "If you want a second drink, find another bar at least a mile away.

   "If you want a third, find another bar a mile away."

   The policeman looked at Milton Erickson angrily.

He cursed at him.

And left.

   A month later, a new patient came by to see Erickson and told him this…

   "A policeman referred me to you and said you were the only psychologist in town
who knew what he was doing."

   This story is worth reading a few times.

   There are many levels to it.

   I’ll show you a couple, and then I’d like you to tell me other levels and interpretations
you’ve found.

   Here’s one…

   Erickson did not DEPRIVE his subject of his wants. He didn’t say you can’t do
this, or you must stop that.

   That’s what well-meaning friends and family do.

Notice it never works.

   Instead, Erickson tells the policeman what he CAN do.

   He can drink all he want, smokes all he wants, eats all he wants.

   But he must walk.

   Now, here’s a second and much deeper level to this story.

   You might be thinking.

   Well, if I heard that I’d disobey and just keep on smoking, drinking and
   over-eating.

   Right?

   Who in the right mind would dutifully follow these absurd instructions?

   Here’s where Erickson is brilliant.

   What is a policeman trained to do from the moment he joins the academy?

He is trained to listen and obey!

   Erickson knew this.

   He has a long history of carrying out orders.

   So Erickson gave this policeman instructions, expecting him to follow it.

And this lesson is extremely important.

   What Erickson did was meet the subject in HIS frame of reference.

   When you begin the process of hypnotizing someone…

   And you’re starting to build trust and rapport, it’s highly important you pay
attention to who your subject is.

   Every little detail.

   A detail like being a policeman and being susceptible to following orders…

   That’s huge.

   Pay attention to your next NEW subject.

   Someone you haven’t hypnotized before.

   As you find out more about who they are, start brainstorming in your head (very
quickly) how you can use what you know about them…

   …to help speed up the induction process.

   That’s all the hypnosis news for today,

Learn Hypnosis: Seduction Secrets – The Secret Source of Most High Level Seduction Tactics

 

By the way, How does this relate to hypnosis training?

Very Nicely Actually.

You see all seduction, all dating rituals, all “forms” of attraction are inherently hypnotic. The fact that we don’t “apply” the word or term “hypnosis” to it is irrelevant.

Seduction IS hypnosis.

Hypnosis IS a form of seduction.

I don’t make the rules I just report them.

This particular video is safely tucked away in a really cool new conversational hypnosis training website at http://www.stealth1.secrets-101.com

The owner has about 30 FREE Hypnosis Videos that he’s put together that you might want to check out. Some of them Are Really Good.

Others are just plain outstanding!

Now… On to our regularly scheduled hypnosis post.

There is a fundamental Rule of persuasion,

well actually it’s a fundamental rule that governs pretty much any form of human interaction.

The Things We Create Have The Most Power and Influence Over Us!

Seriously, this principle is so powerful and so pervasive, yet so completely overlooked, that it boggles my mind how easy it actually is to hypnotize people without them knowing by simply doing back to them what they are projecting at you.

This is why I spend so much time studying seduction materials...

They give us a true, real-world understanding of hypnotic principles and hypnotic operators that most people who, as bias of their “clinical” or “classical” training. Simply would not pay attention to.

The truth is the most seduction techniques are based in the courtship behaviors that “women” use to attract men to them in the first place.

Now the beautiful part for those interested in attracting the opposite sex, dating and seduction as well as for those looking for “less than sensual” applications of covert and conversational hypnosis is simply this.

Your subjects are most likely blissfully unaware that they are telling you exactly how to hypnotize them into doing what you want.  Just by the very act of how they treat you.

If, of course, you have enough “situational awareness” to recognize what is actually happening.

This all can be distilled back down to the NLP based principle of matching and mirroring and pacing and leading. Which are the primary tenets of most Ericksonian based hypnosis and NLP courses.

Unfortunately for our purposes. While the disciplines of NLP and Ericksonian hypnosis are wonderful for teaching us “about” the principles and of course giving them fancy names.

They don’t help us much out in the real world beyond basic therapy applications.

“yawn” … er I mean…  therapy is okay, but…

How does it really help me get money?

More Dates, etc.

Better Relationships, Even… Dare I say it…

More Sex?

If any of the above mentioned “basic human desires” sounded appealing I’d stay away from the more classical (and somewhat impractical) approaches to learning hypnosis and/or hypnosis training.

You are probably better off trying out something like David Van Arrick’s  S.T.E.A.L.T.H. Hypnosis

Covert Hypnosis Techniques Anyone Can Learn

Building rapport is a crucial step for effectively using covert hypnosis

There are many programs that claim to offer covert hypnosis techniques anyone can learn but if you are as skeptical as I was at first you will want to do some research before buying into these claims. The article below comes from a site that does offer a covert hypnosis program however I was more interested in their explanations of covert hypnosis and the information they present to support what a hypnotist needs to do.

I like the way they presented this information and that it is not geared towards sexual seduction or other inappropriate uses. When you read the article below you will realize that there are covert hypnosis techniques anyone can learn.

“Covert Hypnosis also known as conversational hypnosis is the process in which one gains control over the others mind without their knowledge just by making conversations by the listener’s subconscious mind. The ultimate aim here is to change the opinion of the person in question by manipulating their thoughts and making them do things your way.”

“In this process the hypnotizer changes the thought pattern of the people, their behavior, emotions and perception of life on a subconscious level. Unlike with conventional hypnotherapy sessions covert hypnosis does not involve closing of the eyes or any kind of moving pendulum or strange hand gestures.”

Suggestive Commands

“The commands or suggestions given by the person hypnotizing to the person being hypnotized are more of a metaphor and presented in an indirect fashion, although in certain cases they are also given directly. Stories are one of the tools of covert hypnosis which can be effectively used to convey your actual message across and help remember it with much more probability.”

“The initial step in covert hypnosis though is to build a rapport with the listener. It is easy to do it with friends and family but also not that difficult to do it with strangers. All you have to do is use some compliment on them or laugh at their jokes to build a comfort level with your unknown listener. It is not necessary that you go too deep into building a connection with your listener.”

Building Rapport

“The next step after building a rapport with the person to be hypnotized you have to try and switch off the listener’s critical mind. It is nothing but diverting the listener’s mind from its normal thinking state to an imaginary thinking state. You can always start by using some scenarios and asking them questions like “What if…” or “Imagine this…” This immediately shuts off their critical mind and lets their imagination dominate their thought process.”

“After successfully taking the listener off his/her critical mindset you may now make your irresistible commands and describe the things you want him/her to do. The effectiveness of this method depends on a lot of things that you put in to it. It depends on the way you transform their mind from critical thinking to imagination and the kind of statements you make to convince them well enough to perform the task you give them.”

I used to be skeptical about the covert hypnosis techniques but I’ve actually used it myself many times and now I can honestly say there  are effective covert hypnosis techniques anyone can learn to use in any situation.


The Corporate Covert Hypnosis Connection

million dollar bill

Okay, For some folks this is a consumers worst nightmare.

For those skilled in the amazing art of hypnotic influence it’s a dream come true. It looks like corporate America is finally realizing the power of covert and conversational hypnosis to win consumers and influence buyers.

Check out the article below to find out just how much Business world is embracing the power of covert and conversational hypnosis.

Advanced Communication Training: Bringing a New Face Corporate Training

Fortune 500 companies are now seeking out trainers skilled in the art of conversational and covert hypnosis to boost sales and improve employee wellness. Advanced Communication Training (A.C.T.) http://www.advancedcommtraining.com, a new Philadelphia based corporate training company is providing corporations with the most advanced in influence training and wellness programs.

“Long gone are the days of hypnosis being relegated to swinging watches and stage performances. Conversational hypnosis has revolutionized the ways we think about communication and influence.

It takes communicative and psychological principles and utilizes them in ways that bypass the normal resistances that come up during the sales process or any other interaction in which you would be using these skills,” explains Jessica Marion, lead trainer for A.C.T.

The relationship between hypnosis and the business world has been an interesting one. In 2008 Volvo, for example, used overt hypnosis with focus groups to discover how they really felt about the car brand. Other companies like McDonalds and Wal-Mart consult with NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programing) specialists or require NLP training for their executives.

NLP was developed out of what some of the most impressive covert and conversational hypnotists were doing in the later half of the twentieth century and at its core is the application of specific hypnotic principles. Fortune 500 companies continue to use these skills to give them an edge in the market.

Covert Hypnosis–Street Hypnosis Demo With Darren Brown

One of the most important methods of doing covert or “street” hypnosis as its commonly called now is of course the ability to be completely congruent, even while suggesting the most outrageous things.

In this amazing video clip, World Class Covert and Street Hypnosis Expert Derren Brown Exemplifies the power of congruity in action.

Watch the video and see what I mean. Very cool and it actually works!

When doing any form of hypnotic suggestion you must be completely sincere in your communication. As we often joke…

Once you can “fake” sincerity you can do or suggest anything and people will follow you. That being said you should always respect the power you are working with and only use your skills in strict congruence with your own sense of right and wrong.

Never forget real covert hypnosis is power. Power is meant to be used, not abused.
