Every human being on planet Earth is different; no one person is the same. So obviously their suggestive abilities would differ from one another. This is why we must understand what type of a hypnosis technique would suit best.
The study of hypnotism is vast and includes hundreds of hypnosis techniques. These could include the Traditional hypnosis method, Ericksonian hypnosis method, Isomorphic metaphor method, Embedded Command, etc.
When it comes to the Traditional hypnosis technique, the therapist would make direct suggestions to the unconscious mind of the patient. This method of course works well for people who would readily accept what they are being told, without asking too many questions, etc. For individuals who love to analyze issues and be critical, this I believe wouldn’t be the best option.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the present generation today has been taught to question everything before accepting anything. When this becomes the case, hypnotists who are familiar with the traditional method usually change back into a different hypnosis technique in order to achieve the desired results. This is where the Ericksonian hypnosis technique becomes effective. No matter how sceptical you are, this method works best for people like that, and is better at reaching and influencing the unconscious mind. Perfecting this method requires years of practice and training.
Another hypnosis technique is the use of Isomorphic metaphors. In this case, the therapist makes suggestions in relation to a story, by using metaphors. The patient’s mind is then made to grab bits and pieces from the story and relate it to the elements of the problem or situation at hand. Using this hypnosis technique can be seen as effective in getting the person to realize that a certain action he or she has done was not right. As a result, the person’s behaviour could be improved.
The hypnosis technique ‘Embedded Command’ works well by distracting the conscious mind. What happens here is that the therapist will relate a story that will help distract the patient’s conscious mind and get their brain engaged on the story. In the story itself, the person will find hidden indirect suggestions made and accepted by the unconscious mind. By doing this, the hypnotized person will take in whatever the therapist says, without even realizing it.

There are two sides to every story. Likewise, these hypnosis techniques come with their advantages as well as the disadvantages so it is better to have a proper understanding about who you are and what you really need before embarking on any hypnosis technique.
