Phrasing
As someone who's had an interest in hypnosis for a long time now but hasn't really put in any effort to actually putting someone into a trance or go into a trance myself, I would like to pose a question; does the phrasing of a suggestion matter or not? If one gives a simple suggestion to the subject such as "to act like a chicken". is it through the subjects perspective of how a chicken acts? How about if the subject is given the same command, but phrased differently, such as "to become a chicken", or "to have the mind-set of a chicken". Do these changes effect the subject's behaviour or not?
