Mirroring for hypnotherapy (an NLP technique)

[noordinarylife7]

Hi Steve very informative. I am a spiritual coach and am going to learn NLP why because my sociopathic ex used to use it on me !. this video helped me so much ! I should point out that it can be used in a very wrong way thankyou.

[samurai184]

thanx!

[bigmind2004]

great video ,very well explain.

[RustedBovine]

This video is absolutely loaded with NLP.

Notice how he moves his head. Does it seem a little strange to you? With lots of emphasis movements, and very specific nods in certain directions for certain kinds of words. All NLP experts do it if you watch, they'll bob their head around, gesticulate wildly, sometimes wave a finger or shift their weight from side to side, and over-move their mouth when they talk.

[carlitos07way]

a friend of mine thought darren brown had tourettes when they saw him do it.

and strange i find it that i make all kinds of those gestures you mentioned and find myself surrounded by people,

Steve G. Jones is a brilliant Clinical Hypnotherapist.

I always say that he is the therapist's therapist.

Rock on, brother!!!

I think perhaps that mirroring is what we do when we want control over another person, without the other person feeling any traditional conflicts (like "giving themselves over.") When we act like the other, but not mirror, we are in accord with them. Try it! test mirroring, then test doing. You'll find there is a much more unconscious you revealed when you just DO what the other does. You might even kiss.

[TheForce74]

Do you have to synchronize the actions you want to mirror, with your dialog partner, or can you repeat them later?

[westwardHo88]

I think he's just saying that you should do things similar/same as them to make them more comfortable/relate to you better. And personally i would feel like the person was making fun of me if they synchronized with me! so i'm guessing you should probably do it later or soon after.

Hey there, very simple, probably the simplest iv heard. And cos of lack of jargon and xtra explanation, it hits the point and keeps it there. I think this was very practical and affective in illustrating the point. Great Job. How do I anchor past success to things I want to achieve now?? How do I detach from the feeling of uncertainty and fear of the PAST. Great Job. Keep the love flowing......thank you

[Jrnavia]

After reading a lot about NLP, i wasn´t sure how to mirror. Thanks, Great Job!

Mirroring, hmmm HypnoSteve I like that idea. I could do a video "monkey see, monkey do" LOL

[svenypoodles]

When you mirror do you perform the action synchronized with the person or do you simply observe collect and insert the similar actions later in the conversation

[BlacklitFloater]

What happens, when you get two people together, and one subtley notices he person's mirroring them, so that person starts seeing if they can get that person to copy them? Does the mirroring person just eventually stop if they can tell something weird's going on?

[Synestesis]

Very helpful Steve. Thank you very much. Could you post a list of books worth to read appart from your own? Thaks again.

[karishma008]

Very precisely and simply explained. It really works! Would love to see more of your videos

[kittycaht]

Great job explaining mirroring :)

[Saskachewan]

This is very good technique and it works for me.

One day when I was sitting on some conference side by side with a nice girl, i saw that she moves her foot back and forth in a rythmic manner. So I've started to do the same. When she stopped, I stopped too. And when I started... she started too :) She doesn't see my foot directly [same as hers], but both are in her FOV.

[BOSS797]

Steve, do you will make video about pacing and leading?

[stevegjones]

Absolutely.

Steve

[skyecolispeedo]

Wounderful videos i want to see more.

[celticcoldfire]

Hello there...I just wanted to say that I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now and decided to stop by and say thank you for the informative and easily understood explainations and suggestions. I deeply appreciate it. By the way...you are very charismatic. Speaking of rapport, I'm sure it helps. :)

[stevegjones]

Thank you.

Steve

[vileapple]

i love watching your clips, you're smart and cute! gonna get your book for my birthday! woot! (ps.: more clips, more clips, more clips!!!)

[Lezzia]

Great Explanation!

I'm looking forward to see more from you!! :-)

Greets from Germany

[avionirc]

Amazing mate.

[NagualElias]

I've been practicing some of the stuff out of the Bandler books. just practicing breathing at the rate someone else does, matching predicates, and speaking at their same pace that they do. Within a minute they begin to mirror what i do. it's cool! is that sort of the way the unconcious goes "I'm listening?"

[InsaneSparrow]

Hey, I've been watching Derren Brown a lot, I find NLP really interesting, and I want to learn more about it. Your videos are a major help! Thanks

[Ulven89]

You explain everything in such an easy way, you speak clearly and slowly enough for us with a foreign-language-mother-tongue (understand that "word" if you want to) to understand it easily. Thanks for posting

[maphler]

Yes, indeed. It works very well, on a very subtle level. Thanks for the video.

[elitespart]

I'm so glad I found your videos. I'm starting mentalism and this will most definitely come in handy

[TheTrickery]

i've heard about this, i tried it on my friends, and they often do it back subconciously. For example if im talking to someone and i shift my position to leaning against a wall, often they will too to continue the conversation.

[stevegjones]

Thank you for mentioning that. You are actually referring to a technique called "leading" which I will make a video about in the future.

[TheTrickery]

Would that be the same as the "pacing and leading" techinique for putting people into a hypnotic "trance".

I'm not a professional hypnotist, i'm not old enough to be, but i'm determined to become a psychologist or hypnotherapist when i'm older, and so i have learned how to hypnotise and have tried it out on friends at small gatherings. Nothing insane, just making their arm rise or something. But is the techinique the same as pacing and leading?

[stevegjones]

Yes, pacing and leading can also be used to put someone into a hypnotic trance.

[llod206]

cool!
