Maybe you've heard about this thing called Conversational Hypnosis, but for many it's still a secret 'thing'. The reason is that the people who practice this type of hypnosis are not advertising for clients who are willing be hypnotized to stop smoking or lose weight, or become confident, or anything else you can learn to do with hypnosis. In fact, you might get a little angry when you find out what kind of people have been using conversational hypnosis on you.

Many sales people are very familiar with conversational hypnosis, but it is also consciously, and sometimes unconsciously, used by those who seem to always get what they want. The people who are successful at conversational hypnosis are the people you believe in. For some reason you just trust them, and whatever they say seems to be the right thing. For some people conversational hypnosis comes naturally (which is why I said they could be using it unconsciously), for others, it takes practice.

Unlike regular hypnosis, where one person is put into a trance while the other person speaks softly and/or asks questions, Conversational Hypnosis occurs when two people are just talking to each other, or so it seems.

One person seems to be listening and agreeing, while the other is doing most of the talking.

Cleverly, the main person talking is doing so in a way that influences the listener to follow their lead. They use their tone of voice along with what they say to influence another person's decision. They know when you're going to say 'yes' or 'no.' If they feel a 'no' coming on, they can change your mind before you even know what you were going to say. Not only that, but they can even make you forget that you originally had objections, until the only thing left for you to do is buy, or agree that they're right and then wonder what happened later.

There are a few sneaky targets for professionals. People who talk with their hands, or have strong body language clues, can be persuaded very easily.

So, what are the chances that you have ever been the victim of this type of hypnosis? Well, have you ever had what's called buyers remorse - where you went to buy one thing, and somehow bought something much more expensive than you ever thought you would, and just didn't know what made you make that expensive purchase. On your way home, did you ever find yourself trying to convince yourself, or figure out how to tell your spouse or significant other that this was a good purchase, even though you now don't believe it yourself? Then, you were probably the victim of Conversational Hypnosis.

This happens all too often, and its not a good feeling when you figure it out. However, if you know a few simple facts, you can be in control at all times. Then, you can be confident in your yes or no decision, and either stick with it, OR, make these people do what you want for a change!
