Hypnotic Language

A style of communication that uses artfully vague, permissive, and indirect language patterns to guide a person into a hypnotic state and facilitate unconscious change. Derived from the work of Milton H. Erickson, hypnotic language includes embedded commands, presuppositions, double binds, and metaphor. By avoiding direct commands that might trigger resistance, hypnotic language allows the unconscious mind to receive and process suggestions naturally.
