what is Gilligan's loop it's a powerful language pattern that uses hypnosis and
trance and you can use this for maximum persuasion and influencing your clients
when you're doing sales or you can use it if you're a hypnotherapist or coach
with your clients as well stay tuned
damon here with NLP Gym let's learn a really powerful language pattern
but before we do that you haven't already please click subscribe to this
YouTube channel so that you can get these videos on a regular basis so
Gilligan's loop this is an extremely powerful hypnotic language pattern
that you can use to induce trance for your if you're doing hypnosis but
someone it's also very powerful conversationally if you're using it in
sales or if you just want to use it in general for persuasion and influence its
called you look at the loop after Steve Gilligan and I don't believe this is
something that Steve Gilligan ever named Gilligan's loop i believe from what i've
heard that this was a pattern that one of the students recognize that he would
use over and over so he named it
Gilligan's loop after his teachers Gilligan and honestly I don't know what
this person who's so if somebody does no please leave a comment and we want to
get them ready for this
Gilligan's loop is basically something that if you learn the met the Milton
model from NLP you're going to be kind of familiar with it uses big language and
guys to Gilligan perhaps one of the best therapists alive today was trained
extensively by Milton Erickson which is where the Milton model comes from and it
uses big language and also uses suggestion indirect suggestion so that
the person you're doing this what doesn't feel like he's being pushed or
she's being pushed into it so you lower the possibility of resist
so what you're going to do is you're going to use an intro statement to
introduce the state or whatever it is you want them to do so say you want the
person to relax their your coaching client or your hypnosis spine and what
you tell them as this for example is everyone knows what it's like to relax
sometimes our everyone has had the experience of deep relaxation so you're
using a universal quantifier everyone are all all people and introducing a
state of deep relaxation now they can't really argue with you
pretty much everybody has had the experience of relaxing so there is a
pacing statement they can't really argue with that your next statement would be
something that uses other people as a reference and when you say other people
are others are some people they will naturally use themselves as an example
because they have to dig into their own experience to know what it is you're
talking about so we're in your intro statement which is introducing the state
and you think the surface the first suggestion some people relax by taking a
walk now notice too that our laws and said relax
that is also a hypnotic command changing my tone and pausing right before the
word and i'm changing my tone so some people relax by taking a walk so we're
going to do two more statements of similar to that and these are also
facing students the second statement might be and others relax by reading a book and
then we do our third statement and some people relax by breathing deeply so I'm
throwing another command breathe deeply which in general helps people relax so
it's three pacing statements actually the very first intro statements kind of
a statement as well and then you're going to close the loop by go ahead and
giving them a more direct command that's what we call leading so you would
probably close by saying something like and you can find all of your own reasons
to relax now
so you're turning it back to down instead of using other people as a
reference and turning it to them and saying and now you can relax deeply and
find your own ways on your own reasons
so again it's very vague and you're telling out there they can find their
own reasons are their own ways to relax so let's put this all together and make
it a one long statement
everyone knows or has had experience of deep relaxation and some people relax by
taking a walk
others relax by reading a book and some people relax by breathing deeply now you
can find all of your own ways and own reasons to relax deeply is that
something about how it would go and the more you practice this the easier and more
conversational it will become i used to use this in sales I don't do sales as
much anymore i do own a business and I pretty much hired people to do the
sales for me but when I did do sales it was more about the action on one of the
person to take so say I wanted them to buy life insurance i might start an
intro statement by saying everyone knows what it's like to want to protect
something especially something very dear to ok so that's my interest statement
i'm saying I will you know everyone has an experience of wanting to protect
something
ok so the first one the second facing state that would be something like some
people buy life insurance because it gives them the security of knowing that
if something happens to them their family will do
ok financially it's the first statement second statement might be and others buy
life insurance because they know they're creating generational wealth for their
grandkids and their great-grandkids third statement and some people buy life
insurance for the living benefits so those are going through the three
center pacing statements after the intro facing statement and if you notice
he dropped my tonality and said buy life insurance i pause and drop my
tonality and say buy life insurance and then I close the loop by saying and you
can find all of your own reasons for wanting to buy life insurance and
protect your family so I'm turning it back to them directing them to find
their reasons for buying life insurance and i'm also dropping my personality and
and saying my life insurance so why does this work wise is so powerful using
pacing statement so they don't resist and when you're using pacing pacing
statements they're going along with it because it makes sense it works there's
no resistance
ok so it's sort of like I'm saying yes yes and yes and then you use a leading
statement which gets the direct them to do what it is you're asking them to do
the other thing that it does is it overwhelms the conscious mind with your
suggestions and it can hold at one time so you're giving three main suggestions
and not about that . the conscious mind starts to become overwhelmed and while
it is becoming overwhelmed that's when you can get the hypnotic commands to
sort of line of the radar and go into the unconscious and then you're turning
into them and once again directed them to do is you want to do repetition works
here vague language some people other people reasons find experience
i'm not giving any specific so they have to go in and attach specific experience
of theirs to that are in order for them to make sense of what I'm saying this is
a pretty powerful pattern and so if you're in sales you want to use this
responsibly
I never used this with anyone who I wasn't absolutely certain that they
needed what it was i was selling so i guess i use with caution
use this responsibly if you really believe in what it is you're selling to this
person I say go for it definitely practice this before you try to use it in a
sales situation practices in practice this before using an end with one of
your clients if your therapist or a coach anyway practice it and play
around with it my in the blog i give it an exact word for word so it's easy to
refer to you might want to check that if you're not on our email list which you
get the blog email to you you can check the website at NLP-Gym.com blog
you'll see this blog and you can actually read it word for word i put it
very clearly so you can just sort of abstract pattern and use it for whatever
it is you want to use it for our play around with it
use different variations are used very once you really understand the pattern
you can use variations of it and everyday conversation which is what i
like to do and it's still very very effective that way and it goes
completely undetected and normal everyday conversations
