Conversational Hypnosis: Is it used by TV Shopping Networks?
Conversational Hypnosis is a form of hypnosis that uses words and speech patterns to hypnotize a person without the person even knowing he is being hypnotized. First the hypnotist creates rapport. In TV shopping, they would start with asking if you have a pillow that doesn’t give you a good night’s sleep. So you start to agree as the announcer continues to paint the picture of the bad pillow and which you know is true as you have one just like it. Next step is confusion and the announcer starts to tell you to go ahead continue suffering that pillow and not getting a good night’s sleep.
Then the last step is the suggestion. There is a solution to your problems and you no longer have to put up with that bad pillow. All you need is their wonder pillow. At this point you are dialing the number across your TV screen and ordering the pillow.
