Covert Hypnosis - The Critical Factors & Unconscious Symbolism
Hypnosis was initiated as a process where the person to be hypnotized is placed in a comfortable environment and knows what is about to happen. But when many people did not enter the hypnotic state, there was a misconception that some people can never be hypnotized.
On the other hand, it was a laborious task to just get someone into a trance before any therapeutic work could be done. The great Milton Erickson would take hours and several sessions “training” his subjects to be good hypnotic subjects.
For this reason, covert hypnosis became an extremely powerful tool for modern day hypnotists. Covert hypnosis takes place when we are least expecting it, which means that the subject is fully unaware of it.
Keep reading the essential tips and tricks to covertly help the most resistant of subjects during hypnotherapy.
Bypassing the Critical Factor
This means that the conscious mind of the subject moves into their unconscious mind. All hypnosis takes place at the unconscious level. Think of it as a guardian at the gate between the conscious and unconscious mind. If you can’t slip past the guardian unnoticed, you can’t enter the unconscious kingdom.
Unconscious Symbolism
Research shows that only 20 to 25% of people tested had their brain neurology changed while listening to a guided visualization. For a symbol to have an effect on the unconscious mind, it has to be one that has already got an emotional connection to.
Symbolism is the language of the unconscious mind and is a POWERFUL TOOL! As a hypnotherapist, learn the process that allows you to use a subject’s symbolism without triggering a negative reaction.
One of the best things about conversational hypnosis is that you can receive feedback from your subject throughout the journey. Check out the tips at Hypnosis Training Academy that will help your journey to learn covert hypnosis.
