The Ericksonian method of hypnotherapy was invented by of the most influential hypnotherapist's of the 20th Century. His approach was radically different from anything that had been practiced before. His informal conversational method and use of language patterns and different therapeutic strategies were something that had never been seen before. This led to the method of NLP Neurolinguistic Programming to be invented, however there are others that dispute this. Once learnt and practiced the Ericksonian method is quite simple to use, however it does without any doubt require some degree of practice, but given that practice it is a very relaxed and informal way of working with any client.
The method includes many "indirect" suggestions, suggestions that are brought into the conversation but without being a direct suggestion, I suppose you could call that a disguised suggestion. When working with children a parent gives these out all the time. "Stop being so Clumsy" If repeated often enough the child will think that they are clumsy, when of course they are just being typical children and not really paying attention to what they are doing. So the order "pay attention" would be much better to use.
This method of conversation as I said is EASY, but it just takes careful thought and yes practice, but there is nothing difficult about it at all.
