As the human subconscious mind is creative, intuitive, irrational, and emotional some experiences in life can push you into creating a negative mind set and can keep you stuck in negative behavior. In the subconscious mind resides the record of every thought you have ever had, every word that has ever been said to you, every experience you have ever had. The subconscious mind can be compared to a computer which operates only on it's programming, so does your subconscious mind and so, similarly the human subconscious mind can be reprogrammed with the help of conversational hypnosis.

Contemporary conversational hypnotism employs a wide variety of forms of suggestion some of which are direct verbal suggestions or indirect verbal suggestions such as requests or insinuations, and non-verbal suggestion in the form of mental imagery, voice tonality, and physical manipulation. The suggestions and conversations in the conversational hypnosis are directed primarily to the subject's conscious mind, which passes it on to the "unconscious" or "subconscious" mind.
