By controlling frames you can greatly inprove your hypnotic skill, so it is highly recommended to learn and refine this technique. It is one of the most important things to apply to your hypnosis subject.

In one way to control the frames of various interactions is to take control of the interactions themselves. There are different ways in which you can control and manipulate frames. There are essentially four options you have, to maintain your frame, preframe, reframe and deframe. Of the four framing options maintaining your frame and preframing are the most important and powerful in Conversational Hypnosis.

Choose maintaining your frame as your first option to exercise. To do so you will have to arm yourself with non-reaction. This means to act as if the frame that your hypnotic subject believes just doesn't exist, and this will cause them to doubt their own frame, and place more value on yours.

By ignoring the fact that their frame is of consideration will cause insecurities in their own frame and reinforce your stance.

Preframing takes a bit more calculation and thought than maintaining your frame. If you can imply and assume then many times your frame will be taken at your word as the unconscious usually registers assumptions and implications as truth.

The next technique in framing is the reframe. Shed a positive light on a frame that was being viewed negatively by a person. A context reframe is when you change the context that the frame is placed in.

Deframing is the final way in which you will manipulate and control frame. To deframe is to turn the tables on the subject that is raising objections about your frame. You simply reverse the role, switch the challenge. As the subject raises a challenge about your frame, instead of attempting to explain it, simply challenge their own frame.

The only thing you have to be careful about with deframing is to maintain that positive or light attitude, or else you can easily look negative or aggressive, and this will not bode well with your hypnotic subject's trust and comfort with you.
