Many people still agree that Milton H. Erickson was the true father of modern hypnosis. It was his work that brought hypnosis to a completely new level and these days every hypnotist in the country (if not the world) has to acknowledge the tremendous power of conversational hypnosis that he developed.
Conversational hypnosis is different than a ‘normal’ hypnosis that most people are familiar with from the movies or television. In this process, a subject isn’t hypnotized by looking at a pendulum and listening to a hypnotist telling them that their “eyes are getting heavy”. Here, a person is hypnotized during a normal conversation. And herein lies the true power of conversational hypnosis – because a subject isn’t even aware that he or she is being influenced, they lower their guard, become much more susceptible and after they make a decision, they believe that it was all their own.
Milton Erickson was using conversational hypnosis mainly as a very effective therapeutic technique, but later the power of influencing people by simply using the right words and sentences became used in sales, advertising and even in a day to day life. Imagine what difference the knowledge of these techniques could make to a salesperson – you tell somebody that you think they should buy a product, use the right words and intonations and they decide ‘by themselves’ that this is exactly what they want to do.
After Milton H. Erickson died in March 1980, hundreds of hypnotists all over the world tried to copy his techniques. One of the most successful at this was Igor Ledochowski, a master hypnotist and a full member of the British Society of Clinical Hypnosis, who later spent 8 years teaching the advanced skills of conversational hypnosis to fellow hypnotists. After his tremendous success, he decided to share his knowledge of the power of conversational hypnosis with the general public.
Igor Ledochowski joined forces with Clifford Mee and together they developed the Power of Conversational Hypnosis self-study course. This course with a full name “The Power of Conversational Hypnosis - how to quickly and easily put people under your spell and get them to do what you want” is now widely available and has received great reviews from both the certified clinical hypnotherapists as well as ordinary people. Some hypnotherapists, however, are strongly opposed to revealing these techniques to the public. Their reservations are understood, as you can never know when someone is going to abuse the power of conversational hypnosis for his own purposes.
You have to decide by yourself what you think about releasing this to the public, but the truth is these techniques are now available and people are using them. To see other reviews and opinions on this e-course, check out the review page: Power of Conversational Hypnosis .
