By controlling frames you can greatly inprove your hypnotic skill, so it is highly recommended to learn and refine this technique. It is one of the most important things to apply to your hypnosis subject.

In one way to control the frames of various interactions is to take control of the interactions themselves. There are different ways in which you can control and manipulate frames. There are essentially four options you have, to maintain your frame, preframe, reframe and deframe. Of the four framing options maintaining your frame and preframing are the most important and powerful in Conversational Hypnosis.

Maintaining your frame is the first option you would usually want to exercise. In order to maintain your frame you will always arm yourself with non-reaction. To act as if the frame that someone else is suggesting simply doesn’t exist will cause them to raise question in their frame and put more value in yours.

Ignoring the fact that their frame is even a consideration will only reinforce your stance and cause insecurity in their own frame to rise.

Preframing requires more calculation and thought compared to maintaining your frame. If you can assume and imply then frequently your frame will take your word subconsciously, and will be ready to believe your suggestions.

The next technique in framing is the reframe. Shed a positive light on a frame that was being viewed negatively by a person. A context reframe is when you change the context that the frame is placed in.

Deframing is the final way in which you will manipulate and control frame. To deframe is to turn the tables on the subject that is raising objections about your frame. You simply reverse the role, switch the challenge. As the subject raises a challenge about your frame, instead of attempting to explain it, simply challenge their own frame.

Now the only thing to be aware of in deframing is to maintain a positive or light attitude in that you can easily come off as aggressive or negative in other ways, this will only cause your subject to distrust and feel uncomfortable with you.
