DISCLAIMER:
“Fractionation” is primarily used for “instant seduction”. This article will explain the process of how it works.
This is NOT an endorsement of Instant Seduction-type techniques.
Please use this as a reference for future events, and to learn individual NLP techniques to be used for other occasions.
Fractionation is a scientific term meaning the process of a single mixture broken down into two smaller parts.
Psychologist and NLP Practitioners apply this method to the process of “instant seduction”. Yes, the title may seem a bit unethical, but by understanding how each element of this process is applied, we can implement these techniques toward other aspects of communication.
Fractionation focuses on disrupting thought patterns and building quick rapport. This is accomplished by causing an individual to move in and out of emotional states and a rapid rate. Thus, disrupting their normal thought pattern, and creating expedited trust with you.
Let’s walk through a scenario, step-by-step;
SETTING: Male approaches female who is standing at the bar.
The female understands that a bar setting is a very vulnerable place to be in. Having random men approach her is nearly guaranteed. Her subconscious wall of a filter is OUT and READY to combat any seekers. She has now shifted her thought patterns due to the atmosphere she is in. Unlike being in a grocery store where it’s highly unlikely to be approached by a stranger, the setting of a bar/club causes her guard to come up.
Unless the male does not have a working brain, he’s well aware that his chances of retrieving someone’s phone number have been narrowed due the female’s pattern-shift.
Therefore, in order to gain the female’s trust, and to slowly remove that “guard”, he must disrupt and replace her current sequencing of thoughts and conversation.
He’ll start by evoking feelings of sadness. This can be done by giving a brief story of a traumatic event that he has experienced.
For Example: (WITHOUT BEING UNTRUTHFUL) He may tell her that the last time he came to this bar was right after his friend or relative passed away.
Adding a story like this to a brand new conversation may seem out of place but, that is exactly what the male is shooting for. He is replacing her current thought sequences with one of his own. He is creating a roller-coaster effect of emotions.
Next, he will immediately evoke a heightened state of emotions in the female. He may do this by following up his previous story with a “silver lining”
For Example: After that person passed away, their child received a MONUMENTAL Life Insurance check, which allowed them to FINALLY pursue their dreams.
Regardless of the scenario, he will want to keep the roller-coaster effect moving forward.
To look at this from a different perspective, we need to understand that the female’s “guard” was preventative and fabricated. By walking through this process, he is simply removing this strict filter that should have never been in place.
In addition, the Central Intelligence Agency claims that using NLP with Fractionation will never cause a person to do anything they wouldn’t consciously do anyway.
For instance, you can’t use Conversational Hypnosis to order someone to rob a bank unless, of course, they’re already the bank-robbing type.
Now, the male has continued to push and pull the female in and out of of emotional states. By having her filtering process disrupted and adding some personal stories of his, rapport between the both of them has grown RAPIDLY.
Though Fractionation is primarily for temporary-use, there are other models that go a lot deeper, and last a lot longer. It’s safe to say that they’re crossing the line of ethics.
Other models incorporate “physical anchoring” by associating the sad emotions with physical objects, and associating the heightened emotions with the body of whomever is applying Fractionation. This can be done by simply touching objects at the appropriate time during a conversation.
In summary, it’s vital to understand HOW others think due to their current setting or mindset. On many occasions, the odds are stacked against having just a basic conversation. Knowing how to neutralize that filter is imperative for rapport-building and communication.
