What you'll learn

Key ideas in Conversational Hypnosis and Influence

  • Rapport is a biological state of 'sync' between two people
  • The goal is to align the subject's nervous system with the hypnotist's
  • Biological rapport goes deeper than just 'liking' someone
  • Matching the rhythm of a subject's inhale and exhale creates deep trust
  • Breathing is a direct window into the autonomic nervous system
  • Synchronized breathing bypasses the critical conscious mind
  • Rapport as physiological alignment
  • Breathing synchronization
  • Immediate mirroring looks like mockery and alerts the subject
  • A delay of 5-10 seconds allows the movement to slip into the subject's subconscious
  • Subtlety is required to prevent the subject from noticing the influence attempt
  • Rapport as a physiological alignment
  • The speed and rhythm (tempo) of your speech drive the subject's response
  • The pitch and 'feeling' (tonality) of your voice signal the intended mood
  • The actual words used are the least important factor in biological rapport
  • Applying breathing synchronization
