"Hi Chris, Yes calibration is important and things like, skin tonus, lower lip size, skin color, breathing etc can indicate a change of state but it is a mistake to mind read this state as hypnosis. NLP teaches to pay attention to minimal…"

"Hi Betito, Both suggestibility tests and convincers are "supposed" to work the same way, but can be different depending on how the hypnotist uses them. A lot of hypnotists present what I call a "cheater" suggestibility test to…"

"I'd agree with Michael there, signs of hypnosis are not an indication that hypnosis has occurred. Yes it's nice to see redish eyes, fluttering lids and eyes rolling up but that does not mean that a person is in hypnosis. One way to know…"

"Yes, Michael ... they certainly are interchangeable in this context. Recall that the discussion started because I was asking if the word "test" was being used for "suggestibility test", which is done BEFORE trance in a…"

"Most likely the suggestion would fade away naturally because it has no useful purpose to the client. But you bring up an important point, which is to always remove test suggestions. One way to make sure you do this is have it as part of the…"

"I agree with what John said, Tests and convincers are really the same thing. It all about building belief and expectation. It is not necessary to use fractionation then deepening and then convincers when you can do them all at…"
