Conversational Hypnosis Techniques: How My Cousin Used A Crayon To Win A Friend

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

Conversational hypnosis techniques can come in handy in everyday situations. Some time ago, one of my cousins started attending kindergarten school. As expected, the little girl was scared out of her mind. She was a very shy child, and worried about her classmates and whether she would make any friends or not. Naturally, I reassured her that kindergarten is going to be exciting and fun. ?You?ll make friends in time,? I said.

Her first day wasn?t very successful, I reckon. I asked her whether she made any friends and she just shook her head. However, the next few days following that seemed to be better. My cousin was happier and she was no longer afraid of going to school. I asked her if she had made any progress and she very happily recounted the story of how she made her first friends.

It turned out that my cousin unwittingly used one of the universal conversational hypnosis techniques in school, particularly reciprocity. Apparently, one of her seatmates didn?t have a red crayon to color the roof of a house in his coloring book. My cousin then offered the boy her own red crayon to use. During recess, the said boy sat with her and they talked about their favorite television shows.

The Law Of Reciprocity

The law of reciprocity is one of the many conversational hypnosis techniques available to anyone of any age. Even my cousin was able to harness its power although I?m pretty sure she has no idea what reciprocity means. But what does it do and how does this work?

The principle of reciprocity states that if a person gives another person something of value, then the latter would be honor-bound to repay that person something of equal value. This law goes by many names but its nature remains the same.

When my cousin lent the boy her red crayon, she was also offering him friendship. The boy, in turn, gave back his own gesture of friendship by sitting with her during recess. They?ve become really good friends since then - a proof that the law of reciprocity can also lead to long-term arrangements.

How To Use This Conversational Hypnosis Technique

So how do you use this method of persuasion for yourself? Surely, you?re no longer in kindergarten and making friends isn?t as difficult as it used to be?

One of the more profitable uses of the law of reciprocity is in business. For example, you can introduce a bead supplier to a business contact who has need of beads. Technically, you don?t have anything to do with their business but by introducing these two together, you did them both a favor. You gave the bead supplier business and you gave the person who needed beads a useful contact. Sooner or later, they will find a way to help you out as well.

Conversational hypnosis techniques, such as the use of reciprocity, are deeply rooted in human nature. We might not always be aware of what they?re called, but that doesn?t stop us from harnessing them.

Conversational hypnosis can be learned by listening to simple hypnosis audios teachings with an instruction manual. There are various conversational hypnosis online courses that teaches this powerful skill. By learning the covert techniques of influence and persuasion, you will find use for them in almost all everyday situations.

Confidence in Yourself

There is a fine line between wanting to change something about yourself and having low self esteem. Many Americans wish they could be taller, shorter, or have more money. just to name a few. Having a negative or hateful view of yourself is typically associated with low self esteem and is more serious.

Those suffering from low self esteem generally look at themselves and others negatively, lack confidence, and perform poorly. Trying to figure out what percent of the population suffers from low self esteem is nearly impossible as low self esteem is related to many other emotional issues.

Lacking self confidence or low self esteem is not something a person just learns from one random act, it is something that is learned through repetitive criticism. It can come from just about anyone, parents with unrealistic demands of their children, constant comparison to other siblings or children or simply from parents who do not understand he child’s needs can leave them feeling misunderstood and detached.

Children can also learn poor self esteem from classmates or teachers through the same techniques. Others feel negatively about themselves because of societies demands. Many young girls have expressed pressure to be thin simply from a magazine article, they begin to self criticize every time they read an article or see a photograph.

According to Selfesteeminternational.org, we are losing one third of our youth to drugs, alcohol, eating disorders, jail, teen pregnancy, crimes and violence, drop outs, and suicide. The driving force to all of these issues is low self esteem.

Some people have a hard time accepting negative self image is the cause for all of these problems. However Selfesteeminternational.org reported that 80-90% of pregnant teens do not give up their children because they feel a baby will give them the unconditional love they never had.

There are a range of programs which offer help with low self esteem, Some suffers attend counseling sessions, take medication, or read self help books. There are also new techniques being used to help build confidence, one of those is hypnosis. Hypnosis works with the subconscious mind to uncover what memories are causing the low self esteem.

Once the memory has been identified, the hypnotist and patient work though the memory and the patient’s reaction to it. Together they help rebuild self confidence and work through all feelings, good or bad until the patient is satisfied with their progress. Since it works with the subconscious mind, it is easier to open up and express feelings you might not know you were having.

Some people still feel that traditional treatments such as medications and therapy are more effective than hypnosis. However, taking medications can only do so much. They work only with your body’s own unique chemical make up. They do not deal with the actual emotional problems low self esteem is causing.

Therapy can go on for months before the real trigger and emotional reaction is uncovered and it also deals with the mind on a conscious level. When dealing with the mind on a conscious level, patients often become very censored for fear they are being judged by the counselor. While under hypnosis they subconscious mind takes over allowing for completely candid thoughts.

You have taken the first step in your treatment, whatever it may be. You have acknowledged that you have issues with low self esteem and want to do something about it. You no longer want to go on feeling the way you do.

The choice is yours, will you choose a treatment that could take months and months, will you choose a short term chemical fix or will you choose to open you mind and discovery why you feel the way you do, the choice is simple.
