Communication is indeed a tool that can be very powerful. This can be illustrated in the case of conversational hypnosis.
Conversational hypnosis is a process wherein a persons initial perception is altered with regards to the problem that is being faced. This will have to be done through the interaction of the hypnotist and the patient.
A session of conversational hypnosis usually starts with a stage called the affinity. Hypnosis only works if there is rapport that exists between the hypnotist and the patient. This rapport is fostered with the hypnotist expressing to the patient that he empathizes with the patient.
Lets take into consideration the kind of conversational hypnosis which is most likely to happen in the case of a person with a fear of crowds. The patient will nonetheless say that his situation is very difficult. What the hypnotist should say in return is to assure the patient he does understand his situation.
The next step in conversational hypnosis is the distraction. After the hypnotist gets the trust of the patient, the hypnotist now goes on to distract the patient by directing the patients mind to a different thoughts other than the problem. This is done so that the patient can let go of his problem for a minute and unwittingly explore the idea of different solutions.
The hypnotist usually asks several questions to successfully allow the patient to think of something else.
To follow through with the example I made before, in order for the hypnotist to distract the patient, he can ask something along the lines of what do you think it would be like if you lived all alone in this planet? The question does not have to literally make sense as long as it is effective in distracting the patient.
The final step is the proposition. Once the hypnotist successfully leads the patient to think of something else, then the hypnotist can introduce different suggestions to finally solve the problem.
The hypnotist can include different suggestions such as saying that life would be better if he talked to people once in awhile.
