How to bring out emotion in others

Now we have most of the pieces in place, it’s time to start putting things together.

With hypnosis, the very first step in hypnotizing someone is always to go into hypnosis yourself. If you don’t know how to do this, I cover it in detail in my book The Self-Hypnosis Formula.

Generating a state for anchoring is no different. If you want someone to access a specific state, it tends to work a lot better when you first model that state for them. This doesn’t mean you have to go all the way into it, or even that it must be the exact same state.

It does mean that you have to fully enter into a state that is congruent with the one that you would like them to experience.

As an example, imagine this situation. You put on your most depressed voice possible, and then try to get them to enter into a state of excitement. It’s just not going to work, right?

On the other hand, if you first go into a state of encouragement and curiosity, it becomes very easy to move someone into a state of excitement. And of course, if you go fully into a state of excitement yourself, all you really have to do is maintain that state and they will follow along.

Emotions are contagious like that.

The closer you can make your state to the one you would like them to have, the easier it will be to get them there.

As a quick aside, as we covered earlier, if they are already in an intense state when you begin, you will want to bring them out of that first. That is, unless it’s a state that you want, in which case, anchor it before you do anything else!

To bring someone out of an intensely negative state, you first need to move into alignment with the state they are in. This doesn’t mean that if they are ranting or angry or in some other extremely negative state that you go into that exact state yourself. All you really have to do is adopt a position of caring concern for their wellbeing, acknowledge the state they are in by saying things like it sounds like you’ve been experiencing blah, and then move them away from that towards calm.

Any standard abreaction drill is useful here.

If you’re not sure how to deal with abreactions, the best approach here is probably to wait until they come out of it by themselves and just be supportive like any normal person would be until they do.

So that’s the first part.

Next, it is critical to be accepting of anything that happens. If you want them to go into a state, they need to feel safe and comfortable in that state, and they won’t get there if you say negative things that discourage them.

The nice thing about this is that there are some states that you can go into that are almost always helpful in this regard. In particular, the state where you are encouraging and accepting of them is almost universally useful.
