If you have been diagnosed with social anxiety disorder (or social phobia), hypnosis can help you to gain confidence, build your self-esteem and overcome your shyness. It can also help reduce your stress and help with panic attacks. Hypnosis can help you visualize and reduce your phobias and fears so that your panic attacks don't bother you anymore. It can also help reduce depression. With hypnosis, you can really make some great and positive advances in your life. The changes you make may possibly even last a lifetime.

Hypnosis is a very vague topic which most people don't understand. It is often though as some sort of magic trick or voodoo like practice because of the typical stereotype you often heard about it. The biggest example is the one of a man holding a watch hanging from a chain and as he is performing hypnosis, the subject becomes into a trance-like state where he is basically start to act like what resembles a zombie. Hypnosis is actually nothing like that.

The most powerful conversational hypnosis technique?

Below are some examples of sentences that you can use in everyday conversation to put the emphasis on the subject and massively explode your persuasive potential-

1. "Today has been good/bad/whatever, but it doesn't sound as good/bad/whatever as yours." (Notice the avoidance of the word "me", as well as the addition of a phrase that pushes the focus of the conversation back onto the subject)

2. "You're a really nice person." (As opposed to "I think that you're a really nice person.")

3. "You do know the benefits of this new software program, don't you?"(Compare this with "these are the benefits of this new software program." The first phrase manages to personally address the subject twice in one sentence)

4. "You seem to need a new pair of shoes."(Instead of, "I think you need a new pair of shoes.")

Of course almost any phrase can be altered to have the focus on the subject. However, there are some sentences that would not make proper sense if the focus were put entirely on the subject. In these cases, use the word "we" as it will still help to take the focus off you. Using correct grammar is highly important in conversational hypnosis as unnatural sounding phrases will send alarm bells ringing in the subject's subconscious mind.
