What are the right kinds of words to perform covert hypnosis?
Using words that cause someone to see things in a different way is one way to influence how they feel and think. This is called reframing.
A common reframe is the glass is half full, not half empty metaphor. This causes someone to move from viewing a situation that was thought of as negative now as a positive.
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:
Its beautiful outside today, but its going to be cloudy tomorrow.
Its beautiful outside today, and its going to be cloudy tomorrow.
It's gorgeous outside today, even though it's going to be overcast 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.
You can use words that make the frame bigger, so the person you are talking to can see the big picture.
Let's take an example. Your friend is shopping for a new pair of shoes. After finding a very nice pair, she is not sure about buying because she knows the same pair are being sold across town for a better price. To covertly help her make her decision, you say something like: wow, I can't believe you are getting those shoes for such a nice price and now don't even have to drive all the way across town.
You can also reframe the context of a situation.
Friend: Boy! I wanted to go to the beach, but listen to that wind outside... it won't be nice today.
You: You're right. It wouldn't be any fun just sitting on the beach in this kind of wind, but what must the waves be like? I bet it'll be great for surfing.
Another type of reframe is the content reframe.
Friend: What a jerk! That man blew by us doing 100 mph. Can you believe some people!
You: He sure was going fast. Did you see he had his emergency lights on? I wonder if he was going to the hospital.
See how someone's attitude can really be changed simply by the words you use?
Reframing is very powerful because it is a type of conversational hypnosis.
Reframing let's you distract the listener's conscious mind and causes her to listen to her subconscious brain.
There is no obvious hypnotic trance here like you would see in overt hypnosis, but nevertheless, this use of words in conversational hypnosis causes the listener to respond to things using her subconscious mind.
