    Refinement 2: My Friend John Technique

    A particularly useful technique for this is what is called the


    my friend John or my friend Jane technique.

    In this one you basically use all the same descriptions


    about hypnosis and what it feels like to go into a trance, etc.

    But instead of talking to the other person, you just


    describe to them the experience that your friend John or Jane
    had when he or she went to see a hypnotist, or when he or she
    was hypnotized by someone.

    And in that way, you create this weird sort of double


    reality, where you are talking about an experience someone
    else has had, but because you have biofeedback, it is actually
    reinforcing whatever your client at that time is actually giving
    you in signals.

    They know that you are actually talking about them at


    some level and so you create a very strong rapport with the
    unconscious mind.

    Refinement 2: My Friend John Technique

    Another way to make this more indirect is to use some of


    the lessons that youve already learned. Of course, you will be
    using this with the hypnotic gaze induction and in that, you can
    also use the my friend John or the my friend Jane
    technique in order to put another indirect spin.

    Because I have to describe all of these experiences as


    though they have happened to someone else.

    For example, as John was relaxing in the chair,


    breathing in and breathing out.
    I tie in those words breathing in and breathing out to
    the same time as the person opposite of me is breathing in and
    breathing out. It becomes very clear to the unconscious mind
    who I'm talking about. It really isn't to John.
