What Is Covert Hypnosis?

Covert Hypnosis is the ability to subtly communicate with another person’s subconscious mind without them noticing. As it often takes place in the course of a seemingly regular conversation, it is also known as Conversational Hypnosis.

I have always been amazed by hypnosis. That is why I went through the 120 hour certification in 2002 and still use it. Covert Hypnosis and NPL caught my attention the same year and I’ve been studying both for a long time now.

The objective is to change the intended behavior – a sales person, for example, telling the client how good she will feel buying the new product. An intentional use of carefully selected words, body language, intentional gestures that seem commonplace (pointing in a certain direction) and facial expressions (a frown to the buyer to convey the unspoken opinion that she is making a mistake) in order to covertly communicate with someone’s subconscious mind.

The final objective is to have the person make their own decision to change their mind.

It is a form of hypnosis attempting to achieve near hypnotic states in the listener. In covert hypnosis the subject is unaware that the hypnotist is either a hypnotist, or hypnotizing them, or that anything out of the ordinary is occurring.

Covert hypnosis is a phenomenon not too different from indirect hypnosis (as derived from Milton H. Erickson popularized as The Milton Model.

As a kid I wanted to know how cars, bikes, dirt bikes, and go-carts worked. By the time I was in high school I wanted to know how the human mind worked and why people acted the way they did.

Then I asked myself how one person could live a life of success and achievement and a person with the same education and start in life end up in prison or on the streets broke.

I still work on that today!
