Which words should you use to cause covert hypnosis?
A way to change how someone feels is to use words that cause the person view things differently. I refer to this as reframing.
The classic example of reframing is the glass is not half empty, its half full. In this reframe you are trying to get the person to see the positive side of things, and not focus on the negative side.
You can use reframing for more complex things by changing some very simple words in a sentence. For example, think about the difference between these three sentences:
It's gorgeous outside today, but it's going to be overcast tomorrow.
It's very pretty outside today, and tomorrow it's going to rain.
Its beautiful outside today, even though its going to be cloudy tomorrow.
Each of these sentences describes the same thing, but by changing just one or two words you change the way you think about each day. Read these three again and think about how each makes you feel about the weather today, and tomorrow. Notice the difference?
There can be many ways to reframe things.
By using words that enlarge the frame, the person you are speaking with will focus on the big picture.
Like, when a person is at a store and is worried about buying a pair of shoes because she knows that a store across town has the same pair for a few dollars less, you may say something like, Wow, I know that the other store has the same pair for a couple dollars less, but thats an hour away. How much gas do you think you would use up driving over there?
The situation context can also be reframed.
Friend: Boy! I wanted to go to the beach, but listen to that wind outside... it won't be nice today.
You: Ya, it wouldnt be much fun sitting on the beach in the wind, but look at the wave! It would be a great day for surfing!
The content reframe is another kind of reframe.
Friend: Can you believe that guy! He just passed us doing a hundred miles an hour! What a jerk!
You: Yep, he was really whizzing by and I think I saw his emergency lights blinking. You think he was heading to the hospital?
So you can see how changing the language you use can actually change someones attitude about things.
One powerful type of conversational hypnosis is reframing.
Reframing let's you distract the listener's conscious mind and causes her to listen to her subconscious brain.
The person does not go into a deep trance like you would expect in a hypnotists office, but he does look inward to the subconscious to think differently about things.
