The skills of speech hypnosis and NLP can be so valuable that you can use them anywhere. Suppose you learn the most specific things from hypnosis and speech hypnosis properly and deeply; in that case, you will get a tool you can use everywhere. In this article, you will learn how to gradually improve a relationship with another person or animal using anchoring or conditioning.
What is conditioning or anchoring?
When two or more things happen several times simultaneously, they condition the minds of people or even animals to show an internal reaction the next time, even if one of those things happens again, it is as if they all happened together. The best and most straightforward example is animal conditioning.
For instance, you whistle a few times while feeding a dog. If you do this several times, your dog will follow you as soon as he hears the sound of the whistle; even if there is no food, he will follow you very hungry and with his mouth watering! In this example, the sound of the whistle is called a stimulus or anchor (a stimulus that causes specific feelings and an internal emotional state). To be more precise, conditioning or anchoring is the art of making emotional buttons so that you can use them later and at any other time to produce a particular internal state in yourself or others.
How to use anchoring to improve communication?
These three powerful keys will give you an idea of how you can use conditioning to improve your communication:
1. Condition the other party’s good behaviour with a perfect feeling!
When you see good and desirable behaviour from the other person, be sure to give a good feeling and positive energy in response because this will condition the other person’s mind and positive behaviours, be more favourable and productive in communication.
2. Gradually eliminate and condition destructive and ineffective behaviours with a neutral reaction.
When an undesirable behaviour is performed, by displaying a neutral response, the learning process will begin in the mind of the other party and in the relationship, and the ineffective behaviours will be gradually removed from the relationship.
3. Destroy negative anchors.
If there is a behaviour, a word or a thing in any way that creates negative feelings in your relationship with the other person, destroy it and don’t let it continue. You weaken anchors so that, for example, the stimulus occurs several times, but no specific event occurs. In the example of dogs, for instance, if you whistle a few times without food, the whistle will gradually weaken and not work as an anchor.
