The following article contains the most frequently asked questions related to this topic.

With over hundreds to choose from, the right hypnosis technique depends on the particular person. It also depends on the behavioural techniques that you want to change. Therefore having a thorough examination done first and foremost on you and your body would be better before embarking on the next stage. Once this is done, you can safely look into the hypnosis technique that will work best on you.

However much we'd like to think that there are more individuals out there who are similar to us physically and mentally, this world does not have space for such things. So obviously their suggestive abilities would differ from one another. That is why we must first understand ourselves and then select the best hypnosis technique that works.

The study of hypnotism is vast and includes hundreds of hypnosis techniques. Some of these include the Traditional hypnosis method, Ericksonian hypnosis method, Isomorphic metaphor method, Embedded Command, etc.

In the Traditional hypnosis technique, the therapist would make direct suggestions to the unconscious mind of the patient. This method of course works well for people who would readily accept what they are being told, without asking too many questions, etc. For individuals who love to analyze issues and be critical, this I believe wouldn't be the best option.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the present generation today has been taught to question everything before accepting anything. This could be a problem for a person using the traditional method. This is where the Ericksonian hypnosis technique becomes effective. No matter how sceptical you are, this method works best for people like that, and is better at reaching and influencing the unconscious mind. Perfecting this method requires years of practice and training.

The use of Isomorphic metaphors can be stated as another important hypnosis technique that is frequently used today. What happens here is that the therapist makes suggestions in relation to a story, through the use of metaphors. While this is being done, the hypnotized person starts to identify certain parts of the story in relation to what he or she is going through at that moment. This could be a problem or an emotional state that the person is faced with. This hypnosis technique is seen as effective because it makes the person realize that what he or she has been doing so far has been wrong, and thus if that person is to improve, it is best if they stopped doing the wrong thing and start being a better human being. The hypnosis technique 'Embedded Command' works well by distracting the conscious mind. In this case the therapist will relate a story that will help distract the patient's conscious mind and make their brain get engaged on the story. In the story itself, the person will find hidden indirect suggestions made and accepted by the unconscious mind. The surprising effect of this hypnosis technique is that the hypnotized person will take in whatever the therapist says, without even realizing it.

There are two sides to every story. Likewise, these hypnosis techniques come with their advantages as well as the disadvantages so it is better to have a proper understanding about who you are and what you really need before embarking on any hypnosis technique.
