Powerful NLP Hypnotic Language Pattern Everyone Needs to Know | NLP hypnosis

Language is powerful, and the language pattern I will be talking about today is something that I hear being used counter-productively on nearly a daily basis.

My typical response is "Thank God you're not my hypnotist!" but it’s even worse when the person I am speaking with actually IS a hypnotist!

Regardless of whether or not you are aware that you are a hypnotist, taking control of this language pattern will give you tremendous results in terms of your own emotional intelligence, ethical influence, coaching others to success, and in leaving those with whom you communicate in a better state than when you met them.

So what is the language pattern?

I am speaking of the effective use of 'negation' in language.

The classic demonstration of this pattern is the "Don't think of a purple elephant" example.

Don't think of a purple elephant.

And...

How did you do?

You see, the paradox is that in order to 'not think something' you have to think of that very thing, in order to know what not to think about!

The result?

I had an experience of this just recently of a client of mine who is a successful health coach.

We were listening to one of his group coaching calls and after giving a piece of advice to one of his clients, he followed it up by saying, “Even if you feel like a fraud, I want you to go out and do this”.

What did his client have to do in order to make sense of this statement?

She had to pull up an experience in her mind of ‘feeling like a fraud’!
If his intention was for her to take action on his suggestion, his unconscious communications were incongruent with his conscious communications.

And anyone who's ever tried to change an unresourceful habit knows who tends to win in between the 'conscious' vs. 'the other than conscious'.

Counter productive, wasn't it?

So how do we use the NLP language pattern of negation effectively to maximize our results?

Rather than “even if you feel like a fraud” try “even if you don’t feel 100% congruent”.

“Don’t be nervous.” vs. “Stay calm”
“Don’t speed” vs. “Drive carefully”
“I’m feeling horrible” vs. “I’m not feeling wonderful right now”
“Don’t hit your sister” vs. “Play nice!”

Any of those sound familiar?

This is the power of negation.

Whatever follow’s a “no”, “not”, or “don’t” has to be represented in someone’s mind in order for them to make sense of it, so I wonder, what have you REALLY been communicating when speaking with others?

And more importantly, what have you REALLY been communicating with yourself?

If you *don’t* do this effectively 100% of the time this week, thats okay!

Just rewind in your mind and frame it the other way around.

As you do this for the next couple of days I promise you’ll be happier, the people around you will be happier, and your level of ethical influence will increase dramatically.

I have been using NLP since the 70s when it first began... I love NLP.

Don’t imagine your self relaxing on a beautiful beach and enjoying every moment 😊

I LOVE THIS VIDEO... You are good.
I use this "Negation" method ... and I teach this in my Acing Class for Film and Stage, with Improv...
Once you say "NO".. the continuation of the conversation STOPS Immediately.
I teach kids how to handle "Bullies" and not to become a Victim... 
Thank you for sharing this great video.

Another negative word pattern that drives me crazy is when people say things like: "Don't forget . . ." which anchors in the "forget" word, when what they really want is for the other person to "remember". Or "don't be late" when "on time" is the desired outcome.

I am always striving to catch myself with those internal and external negations. Love the file cabinet analogy. Thanks.

[pkaboo]

true! Even some who swear they don't practice self-effacement, use semi negative talk, and then they don't understand why something didn't work out, or pan out for them!

[skionen]

Don’t even think about trying this technique unless you want to be much more persuasive Interacting with others In a much more powerful way

[visionsapplied]

Negated language. I always thought to completely avoid negated words because they are leaned behavior and not natural to our thinking. This is very interesting and makes so much sense. Thank you.

[selflovingsensitive]

Great video. Makes lots of sense! Well explained.

As I've become more positive in my mindset, I notice how different wording affects how I feel, (either when I'm speaking to others about their own experiences, or explaining something about myself and my own perspective), I've begun shifting my wording in this very way without realizing there is a name to it or that this is a particular skill or technique.

.Cool! Thank you for this!

[andrejadobravec]

Thank you for this video. I finally understand what it means being resourceful.

[arjunrajagopal]

I don't "want you to feel", how placid it'll be like?, to "be in a well-maintained state" all the time
