Why sometimes in session people may ask “He didn’t mention the subject much”
A client came to see me for anxiety and all I talked about was the weather; a few weeks later, the lady said she felt wonderful, more confident and was planning to do things she felt were not possible before.
How come talking about the weather helps anxiety? You may wonder.
The easiest way to explain this is by asking you to remember children’s programmes with messages in them. Or if you have children, when you read books with fables about trust, love and relationships, to get their message across they often do not mention the actual message.
In the same way, the metaphorical stories on many of our self hypnosis CD’s and MP3 hypnosis downloads are created to reach the deeper part of your imagination to help your unconscious mind take on board the useful information. Sometimes there are two stories simultaneously spoken into each ear. Why? Well, it can be very affective to keep the conscious, busy mind occupied, whilst we help the deeper parts, the unconscious make some real changes.
