Cold Reading Skills for Hypnotists?

It may seem odd to suggest learing about the methods used by some psychics and readers as a way of enhancing your hypnosis practice. "Cold reading" is the use of specific psychological techniques that make it appear as if you know things about other people almost magically. However, what is really involved are specific psychological and observational methods that make it appear so.

Why would this be helpful to the certified hypnosis professional? Remember, a major factor in rapport building (essential for hypnotic work) is to have the other person feel as if you understand them. Also a large segment of the population believes in psychic phenomena in some form or another. Whether you as a practitioner subscribe to such notions is actually unimportant, the client's belief system is really all that matters.

A knowledge of cold-reading methodology can also help you build rapport and interest with those individuals who are highly skeptical since its like having an insiders guide to the popular TV show The Mentalist.

When used with integrity and the client's best interests in mind, the study of these cold reading methods can be a positive endeavor. To learn more please Click Here.
