Ericksonian Hypnosis Language Patterns With Dan Jones - PLUS: 3 TOP TIPS TO MASTER THIS CONTENT

The audio for this is from 2008, remastered, turned into a video and demonstrations have been added. Some aspects are out of date now in terms of my knowledge of the subject based on the latest research and understandings (for example, I mention 'conscious mind' and 'unconscious mind'. I use these terms as convenient terms, but if you asked me about these terms I would have explained they are just convenient ways of explaining things, there is no such thing as a conscious mind or unconscious mind, but I still used the terms to share ideas. I now try not to ever use these terms to avoid misleading or creating confusion).

Most people's experience with Ericksonian language patterns is what is taught on NLP courses, usually teaching the Milton Model. Surprisingly they aren't taught so often on many hypnosis courses.

Better clear my calendar that afternoon 😄💜

Very interesting thanks.

[@juanvaldes1837]

I just now got notified, sure looking forward to this

[@nozarm]

Thank you Dan, I just watch this very calming and informative video 🙏🏼. I enjoyed and appreciate the combination of the serene, expansive music, the image of the brain suspended in motion, free to spin as the planets, and your calm voice... all in support of the learning and absorption, thank you! Every element cradling the learning. Thank you for saying 'we use metaphors all the time.' 🌿🌿🌿 🌿 I loved the induction you did near the end... Reminded me of what Rumi reminds us, "Finding the Treasure in the Ruins." Have you done an induction/absorption with "Finding You" as the theme? Thank you again 🙏🏽✨ I have shared your video with friends from MEF.

This is beautiful, Nestornotabilis, also very true that the client, the patient, the human being IS the expert in their life and we are merely 'facilitators of experience'. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽

Hi Dan, I have had lots of hypnotherapy in the past. . . I have recently learned that I have autism. I thought that I had panic disorder, but what actually happens, is that, very quickly after feeling fearful, my body sort of goes into a semi- seizure - like state. I'm thinking this is a 'meltdown'?' It's bizarre because I can handle the fear, but my body can't! Please could you recommend a meditation/visualization, that would help me? If you have the time 😊 Thank you for all that you do to help people 💖

[@zeitmeister]

Whenever I see a video of you hypnotizing someone, I always get a vivid impression that you're like a guard dog or a seeing eye dog.

Im back a year later for a refresher course

[@reneeelizabeth302]

Had an appointment and missed it! Will you be back in 2 weeks?

[@donatellaseveri7604]

Love this , how long did it take you to master and build up cofidence to use this language?

[@DanTheTortoise]

Probably almost straightaway. The reason is that I was able to recognise that it is all just language I use anyway, just the labels for that language. It is like when I learned Solution Focused Therapy, it was like just giving labels to what I was already doing, because it was the most logical thing to be doing. It took me a few weeks to learn the labels, but to be doing it and confident doing it was pretty much instant. When I teach people, this is how I teach people, I have them focus on the three principles of the Ericksonian Approach (I have a video specifically on this on my channel), starting in the first few minutes of the training by pairing everyone up and telling them to take it in turns hypnotising each other just using these three principles, so they utilise their observations in the direction of a goal and have curiosity - in this instance to encourage inner focus and engagement. I do a quick demonstration of what I want students to do - watch the other person and link anything they do with the idea of it being their way of becoming hypnotised. I do this before teaching language patterns etc., and then afterwards I explain that to do this they will instinctively be using what are often termed Ericksonian language patterns. So you have people using the language patterns automatically and in the right and natural places/ways before teaching them labels for these. This mirrors the situation I was in when I first started learning about the language patterns, I was doing hypnosis as described and so recognised that I was already using all of the language patterns. I did make the usual mistake once formally learning the patterns, and partly to practice each individual one, of significantly over using them. So to practice I would stick to one language pattern and do hypnosis doing my best to stick just to that language pattern, like a whole hypnotic experience just using linking suggestions or double binds etc. But I would also enjoy the flow of some patterns and would find they sound almost poetic, like double binds, and so I would use them far too much and make what I was doing sound unnatural and the research is that when people can notice you are using language patterns like these, because you are over doing it and not sounding natural, it can sound manipulative and people feel like you are trying to manipulate them and so what you do becomes less effective, both because it impacts the therapeutic alliance and also because they engage less because you seem to be trying to manipulate them. So really the goal of learning the language patterns is to learn them to forget them and just have them be added to knowledge you know where you use them where they naturally fit in the conversation you are having with the client, where you don't 'try' to use them or fit them it, but they just happen naturally. This is why I have students learn to do hypnosis using observation and utilisation with curiosity in the direction of a goal, because if you are doing this you don't have to think of the language patterns at all, they happen naturally where needed, so when you learn them, you hopefully don't try to over-use them. Nowadays, as you would probably be aware from my hypnotic sleep stories on my other channel, my use of them isn't very obvious.

[@donatellaseveri7604]

What if someone doesnt like the beach, presuming we know they like the beach and water prior to hypnosis? Understand the vagueness part.

[@DanTheTortoise]

I don't fully understand the question? If someone doesn't like being on a beach, then ideally you wouldn't direct them to be thinking about being on a beach. If you got the information from them that they like being on a beach and like water, you will hopefully have asked them more about this at the time, to find out details like what the beach is like, and in the first instance you would talk with them about them being on this beach. So, often it would be a transition, you may say, "if there was somewhere you could go in your mind that you would find relaxing, where would it be?" They would respond by telling you about a specific beach, you would then ask them what that beach is like, what is the sky like, is there sand? If so, what is the sand like, if not, what is the ground like, what is the water like, what is the temperature there, do they go in the water, what is the temperature of the water, what are the waves like, what sounds can they hear around them, etc. At some point you would notice they are spending a lot of time inside their mind to try to tell you all of this, so you can then suggest they can take a moment to close their eyes to experience that more fully, then once they close their eyes, you can direct their attention to what they have already told you, but also get finer detail to absorb them even more in the experience. So perhaps you ask curiously what the temperature of the sand is and what the sand feels like to crouch down and pick some up with their hand and how the temperature changes just beneath the surface and is there a difference in texture, etc. So you are focusing their attention more and being vague - you don't know the temperature or the texture difference, so you are directing their attention to discover this, you aren't saying and you can notice the sand is cooler just beneath the surface, or you can notice the sand is wet just beneath the surface - because it may not be. If they grab a handful of sand on a very dry area of beach it may all be dry and dusty, if they are closer to the shore then the top may be bone dry and dusty, but it may be stodgy and damp just below the surface. So you are vague when referencing things you don't know about their experience and specific about things you do know. That way you minimise mismatching their inner experience, you just help them to develop that experience more fully. Obviously there are many other ways to use vague language to encourage inner experience...

[@donatellaseveri7604]

Thankyou, yes on my hypnotherapy course this was explained, but you have enhanced my understanding better by your detailed explainations. I feel I need confidence in communicating in this way, as it makes sense.😊
