To hypnotise someone with conversation, you must be able to pace their beliefs and opinions by selectively agreeing with them. Agree with what they say and add you own perspective to that belief and opinion.
 

By matching and pacing a person’s beliefs and opinions, that person will trust and believe you. You are perceived as being truthful on a hypnotic and unconscious level.

 

A person’s reality is made up of their opinions and beliefs. A person’s beliefs are their truths.

 

We have seen throughout history that people will risk their lives to defend their beliefs and opinions. It’s very dangerous to meddle with someone’s opinions or beliefs in any context.

 

However, what if you truly do not agree with someone’s opinion or belief?

 

Well, it’s perfectly fine and natural to not agree with someone on everything. You will have some differences in opinion on certain matters. Don’t be dishonest and agree with something you truly don’t believe in. You can come off as fake if you agree with everything a person says.

 

What do you do in this situation to not break the rapport and trust that has been established?

 

What if you strongly disagree with a certain belief?

 

First thing you do is repeat back what the person has said to you. By repeating back what they have said you are showing and proving that you are listening to them.

 

For example, if they say “Gas prices are so high because of politics, etc…”

 

You can respond to them by saying, “John, let me make sure I understand your point of view, you believe that gas prices are high because …etc”

 

Use phrases like, “you believe that…”, “you think that…”, “let me understand…”, ..etc.

 

Even though you are not saying you agree with their statement, you are listening and sincerely understanding their point of view. What could have been a hostile encounter or argument is converted into a type of understanding.

 

This works extremely well because most people like to talk instead of listen. People are put off when they are not listened to. A common complaint in all types of relationships is both sides feel the other person doesn’t listen to them.

 

Think back and try to remember a time when you were talking, and the other person was listening intently to every word you said, and they looked you in the eyes and gave you their complete and undivided attention. It is very hard to find an experience like that, and if you do, you can probably count them with one hand.

 

When you pace someone’s opinions and beliefs, the person feels that you are truly hearing them and that you care about them. You stand out from everyone else.

 

You show empathy and understanding for the person when you repeat and reflect back their opinions and beliefs.

 

Pacing in this manner puts the person in an agreeable frame of mind towards you. As you repeat their thoughts back to them they have no option but to agree with you by nodding and saying yes to confirm what you just said.

 

When the person you are talking with show signs of verbal and nonverbal agreement, such as saying “yes”, “I agree”, and nodding, you know that your pacing is working.

 

When the person exhibits these behaviors they are comfortable with you and you have effectively established credibility and trust. To hypnotise someone with conversation, credibility and trust are a requirement.
