I would watch out for the technique of picking out words to emphasize. It impresses NLP trainers (necessary if you want to get the $1200 course for free) but makes you come across like a bad pickup artist. Ericsson had a really strange voice and also had the social advantage of being presented as a miracle worker. As I see it, hypnosis is the applied placebo effect, and the social position of the participants, be it stage hypnosis or therapy, is a big part in how well it works.
