Is Conversational hypnosis just a western culture fad, or is it a worldwide phenomenon?

Is Conversational hypnosis just a western culture fad, or is it a worldwide phenomenon? Conversational Hypnosis is a modern name of a technique that has been in existence for more than a thousand years. Regardless of what modern or historic name that it may hold through the ages, the technique is the same, but the use has been much abused.
Needless to say, Conversational hypnosis, for lack of a better name, is a technique that was developed to help out the needy. These needy were the sick, the dying, and those in pain. The priests, who developed this treatment, needed something to soothe the patients who could no longer be helped by the known conventional treatments that were available during those times. Remember, these were in the days of the Greek philosophers and medicine was in its infancy. No one really knew what these priests were doing and, just like any uneducated guess, the conclusions that were eventually reached were based on Myth conceptions: magic and sorcery.
Anything that people could not explain were blamed on these much abused words. Unfortunately, these hypnotic words, so to speak, stuck. Unfortunately for the technique, it worked to a certain extent. Unfortunate too is the fact that con men saw the applicability of the technique in other environs aside from medicine: business being the forefront of them all.
A lot of business strategists have been developed to increase sales, and some have actually managed to make ‘hypnosis’ as part of that strategy. The claims are hypothetical, but they are also proven, up to a certain extent. With the success of the new technique, more and more ‘desperate to financially succeed’ are taking seminars to learn and apply to their profession successfully, or so they claim.
With these claims of success, the fad grew. So, is Conversational hypnosis just a western culture fad after all? Is this ‘Conversational hypnosis’ claiming the fame of overnight millionaires? Just like a fad, people have a tendency to go all out in order to have a taste of what was unreachable. And just like any western fad, it has spread its web and has lured so many cultures into doing the same thing. Unsupported claims are flying all over the place, and it is really up to you if you are going to join the lure of Conversational hypnosis-based success.
