Ericksonian Hypnosis Declined

By Bobby Smith

Everyone knows that the type of hypnosis that Milton Erickson developed is a wonderful thing.

But how exactly did Ericksonian Hypnosis get connected to The Art of Persuasion and Influence. How did a form of Hypnosis that began as a therapeutic tool suddenly get presented as the best version of Mind Control this world has ever seen?

Well, it all goes back to the official birth of the male seduction community. One man thought he came up with the brilliant idea of trying to adapt the forms of Ericksonian Hypnosis to seduce women. The basic idea was to use the Ericksonian language patterns that were used to hypnotize people in clinical setting to hypnotize women for the purposes of seduction.

Obviously, the idea of using hypnotic language to seduce women failed, but this doesn't mean that a huge trend had begun that caused countless hypnotist to come out of the closet with promises of giving people secret powers through the secrets of Ericksonian Hypnosis.

This surge in the manipulation industry spawned several other forms of hypnosis that are categorized as "covert hypnosis" or "conversational hypnosis". But no matter what type of catching title those forms of hypnosis are attached to, they simply do not do not have any value in The Art of Persuasion.

Why? Because Ericksonian hypnosis techniques were developed in clinical settings and so they require a clinical setting to operate in. What happens when you take a shark out of the ocean? Well, the same thing happens when you take Ericksonian Hypnosis outside of its therapeutic context--it's doomed.

It's also too bad that there are hypnotist out there who are greedy for money to the extent that they have "sold their souls" just to make gobs of money by repackaging Ericksonian Hypnosis into a manipulation machine that it was never intended to be in the first place.

Well, the male seduction community tried to use the Milton Ericksonian Hypnosis model on women, and it failed miserably--almost turning the community into a laughing stock. This is why the male seduction community no longer even worries about learning or practicing language patterns.

The most modern forms of persuasion and seduction are revolving around practicing social strategies and the demonstration of human behavior patterns.
