Co-authored by: Drywall Panel Hoist. There are over a hundred different kinds of hypnosis techniques out there. However, before choosing the hypnosis technique that will suit you, it is important that you get a better understanding of the behavioural traits that you wish to change by going through the whole process. Once this is done, you can safely look into the hypnosis technique that will work best on you.

Every human being on planet Earth is different; no one person is the same. So obviously their suggestive abilities would differ from one another. That is why we must first understand ourselves and then select the best hypnosis technique that works.

The study of hypnotism is vast and includes hundreds of hypnosis techniques. These could include the Traditional hypnosis method, Ericksonian hypnosis method, Isomorphic metaphor method, Embedded Command, etc.

When it comes to the Traditional hypnosis technique, the therapist would make direct suggestions to the unconscious mind of the patient. This method of course works well for people who would readily accept what they are being told, without asking too many questions, etc. If you are more of an inquisitive type of person who’s unable to grasp a single thing without first analyzing it, then this method would not be suggested as it would only create problems in the long run.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the present generation today has been taught to question everything before accepting anything. When this becomes the case, hypnotists who are familiar with the traditional method usually change back into a different hypnosis technique in order to achieve the desired results. This is where the Ericksonian hypnosis technique becomes effective. No matter how sceptical you are, this method works best for individuals who have a problem with digesting what’s being said, and is better at reaching and influencing the unconscious mind. Perfecting this method requires years of practice and training.

Another hypnosis technique is the use of Isomorphic metaphors. What happens here is that the therapist makes suggestions in relation to a story, by using metaphors. The patient’s mind is then made to grab bits and pieces from the story and relate it to the elements of the problem or situation at hand. Using this hypnosis technique can be seen as effective in getting the person to realize that a certain action he or she has done was not right. As a result, the person’s behaviour could be improved.
The hypnosis technique ‘Embedded Command’ works well by distracting the conscious mind. In this case the therapist will relate a story that will help distract the patient’s conscious mind and get their brain engaged on the story. In the story itself, the person will find hidden indirect suggestions made and accepted by the unconscious mind. The surprising effect of this hypnosis technique is that the hypnotized person will take in whatever the therapist says, without even realizing it.

There are two sides to every story. Likewise, these hypnosis techniques come with their advantages as well as the disadvantages so it is better to have a proper understanding about who you are and what you really need before embarking on any hypnosis technique.
