Next Saturday afternoon, we’re going to be having a session on Conversational Hypnosis.
Conversational Hypnosis – Shanghai
Saturday 1 August from 2pm – RSVP essential – 100RMB
Dan Smith
Hypnosis has been part of NLP since it began with the modelling of Milton Erickson… The man credited with bringing hypnosis out of the dark ages (of stage mesmerism) did much of his work within the context of an ordinary conversation.
Just the other night, I was playing pool with my brother. And he’s very good! One of the things that I noticed was that when I was in ‘the zone’, things flowed and I would beat him without really trying. But when I was out of ‘the zone’, I couldn’t do anything right. And noticing this reminded me how important it is to be in the appropriate state for what you are doing – having good technique is important, but you gotta be in the right state for the context!
(That’s an example how you can use a metaphor from ‘normal’ life to communicate a message – just one part of Conversational Hypnosis…)
I have been exploring Conversational Hypnosis for years in a variety of contexts (in coaching, in negotiations, in marketing and especially in intimate relationships!) in Personal Transformation events that I’ve been delivering, so I figured it would be a great chance to share this with our friends in China NLP.
The venue will be somewhere central; I’ll let you know if you’re coming.
