Covert hypnotism has grown in use and popularity exponentially over the last few years thanks to the amount of information available on the internet, as well as great courses like The Power of Conversational Hypnosis. In fact even most hypnotherapists now use conversational hypnosis within their treatment programs. There are some key differences between covert hypnotism and traditional hypnotism and in this article we going to look at these differences and what they mean.

Covert or Overt?

The biggest difference between covert hypnotism and traditional hypnotism is the fact that one is done covertly (hidden) and the other is done overtly (out in the open). However as I mentioned above, more and more hypnotherapists now incorporate conversational hypnosis techniques into their therapeutic sessions as they can be very effective.

Speed of Induction

Covert hypnosis inductions are generally much quicker than those of traditional hypnosis. In traditional hypnosis where a hypnotherapists is treating a client they often have between thirty minutes to an hour in a single session. This gives them the opportunity to take their time and induce a very deep hypnotic trance in their client. However in covert hypnosis you may only have a few minutes to talk to the person you wish to hypnotize so the inductions tend to be much quicker, although not as deep as in traditional hypnosis.
