Here is the video by a hypnotist where he explains the concept of mirroring from NLP and how it can be applied to hypnosis. it’s a way to establish rapport. And if you know anything about hypnosis, then you know that all work you dowill be a lot easier if you have rapport with your hypnotic subject.
he says how he uses mirroring to establish rapport with clients in his hypnosis practice.however, he hasn’t exactly gotten that down right. In fact, for such an experienced hypnotist he’s doing a pretty crappy job of explaining it. I respect him, a cross I know he does great work. But in this case he just messed it up. He talks about mirroring as if you almost exactly have to replicate the movements of the other person. And he talks about if the person is doing a certain movement of the right-hand how you have to copy that movement with a left-hand so that you are like a mirror to him. But that is really not how mirroring works. It’s how many people who have a stick up their asking the mirroring works. But it’s not how Richard Bandler, the guy actually invented that technique does it.you don’t wouldn’t blatantly like that. It’s enough if you do it so. In fact it’s better to suck. So that their consciousness doesn’t pick up the cues, but subconsciously they fear that there is the relation they feel that you two are alike.
