John,
I like the way you talk to the parts directly. It seems much simpler.
I really like the idea of parts therapy but I've never found a "format" that has felt comfortable to me. It has too often felt "fake" or "artificial" or "forced." This m...
Michael,
What a great way to introduce the somewhat metaphysical/spiritual idea of "where the attention goes, so goes the energy" which I've always had a little trouble explaining to people. Thanks.
Also, I love your introduction-induction. Gent...
Hmmm Henxy. Typed communication certainly lacks vocal intonation but do I correctly sense your comment to be dripping with sarcasm....lol???
Miss you girl. Let's talk (on an actual telephone) soon...maybe over our Thanksgiving weekend...this week...
Yes, Conrad, I believe you become what you hate as well as what you love. But it sounds like you're clinging to the idea that I spew hatred when I fact I simply spit and froth sometimes...and as Michael suggested, allowing myself to come back to n...
Thank you so very much Michael for hearing me, for validating my humanness and understanding that having a feeling is not the same basing your general life's responses on that feeling, nor is it the same as "acting out."
Thank you so much.

While we're on this subject, how many of you out there who seem to think that sexual assault is no big deal have dealt with the clients who's lives have been severely affected by such experiences. In ten years I've had an equal number of clients w...
Hi Kathleen,
I'm sorry it came off that way and truthfully, I agree with you. This comment really comes from other discussions here that to my sensibility seem to diminish the effect that inappropriate unwanted touching has on people. Truly my ir...
Hi Dave,
You sound very, very knowledgeable and that you speak from a great source of knowledge. Good for you. I always appreciate that.
I started having some really bad reactions in clients from regression hypnotherapy and I stopped doing it. I...

Ten Ways to Quit Smoking: some wonderful motivating ideas for your clients from Theresa Borchard's Beyond Blue Blog
Smoking may be one of the most common bad habits, but it's also one of the hardest addictions to crack. You probably want to quit smoking, but there are a ton of obstacles in your way.

Five Ways to Manage Panic Attacks and Quote of the Day
Quote of the Day
"If the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would
be so simple that we couldn't." --Lyall Watson
PANIC ATTACKS
Panic attacks are generally brief, lasting less than ten minutes. Symptoms may persist for a longer time. A panic attack is a sudden episode of intense fear that develops for no apparent reason and that triggers severe physical reactions.
Symptoms of panic attacks include: sweating, shaking, rapid heartbeat, rapid pulse, sweaty palms, hyperven… Continue

Mark Tyrrell said… - I've just been reading “the dove" and maybe I'm obtuse but the lines of argument all seem very confused-sprinkled with impressive levels of self righteousness. As far as I can make out people are talking about 'claimed sensitivity as weapon' and whether we choose to be hurt or not. Am I right?
All the very best

- Hi Susan
I hope you're well and thanks for your kind comments. I'd just like to say (at this risk of sounding like an attendee at a mutual admiration society meet) that I find your comments informed, intelligent and infused with obvious humanity : )

Stephanie Voss said… - Susan, hi. I'm still new here and wanted to invite you to be a friend, but missed that button and have someone coming in a few moments. Just wanted to add that I saw your discussion about when "it" doesn't work and jumped in halfway -- it got a little out of hand, but I hope my comment was helpful. I also love reading and want to make sure you've seen Havens & Walters, Hypnotherapy Scripts, 2002, an Ericksonian Approach. Not only are their scripts so good I see them often used by others without attribution (of course, I don't know for sure who used them first), but he's got a great chapter on how to write your own.
Cheers,
Stephanie

While I appreciate compliments from time to time, and indeed I'm a pretty cool guy, I'm not really my own favorite topic of conversation. Let's all just appreciate my transcendent coolness quietly, ok?
Conrad.

Steph said… - Stream of thought ... following on from Albert Ellis' idea that we often undervalue the positive ... a metaphor/visualisation based on Homeopathic Carbon (Graphites). I'll try to weave in a theme of self-worth, the essence of Graphites. (This is written on the fly ... just ideas!)
As you know, carbon is the element of life, it is found in all living things, there would be no life without carbon, but the feeling of the carbon atom, and the carbon patient, is that she is small, plain, humble, and insignificant in a vast universe. As you relax, imagine you are a tiny mote of carbon, floating in the vastness of space, remember that you have the power to join with other carbons to form chains of molcules that form the basis of life on earth, there is nothing plain or ordinary about carbon ... it is the staff of life, and its softness is the source of all goodness ... giving meaning and value to life on earth, gently bringing comfort and warmth to the home, dignity to the family ... to all around her ...

I really enjoy all of your contributions to the discussions. I tried e-mailing you as you suggested for your "sleep" script, but it came back to me as wrong address. Could you email me at

Thanks again,

Hi Michael H.,
I now understand- so no harm, no foul, and let's leave it at that.
As for THE (potentially at least) "thought-provoking question", here's the second attempt, and I'll follow up by re-posting my (brief) "Introduction" so that you wo...
I wish a very Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates this special holiday.
Meanwhile, for our friends around the world, Thanksgiving is an American Holiday where many of us take time out of our busy lives to count our many blessings and co...
Hi Kathleen,
Your response to this thread grabbed me because there is NO technique that is so good that it will work for all the people all the time.
As others have mentioned, rapport building is important, which is part of the reason why I use ...
Scripts might be good for a STARTING point...but many clients wishing to reduce need more than just scripts.
Based on the client's situation, I will either use regression to discover the core cause, OR I will use parts therapy to help the client ...
Saul,
I did not communicate that well, my apologies.
My intent was to second, what I read as, Lee's implication that some of the input in this discussion consisted of ad hominem attacks. I was not singling out anyone in particular but was intend...
Namaste, my friend.
I believe the hypnotherapy profession in the U.K. is more advanced that we are in the United States. In June of 2006 I presented a two-day masterclass on parts therapy at the London College of Clinical Hypnosis.
In the USA the ASCH would probably...
Thanks Lee,
I consider that a very well thought out and sensitive post.
Love and hugs,

Hi Michael,
Thanks for sharing. I would like to use this also. Hope you are well. Cynthia
Thanks for jumping in Roy. It was your book on Parts Therapy that made in all clear in my mind to do parts therapy effectively and confidentially. I have passed your book onto my husband who is also a hypnotherapist ;-)
Calvin,
The only thing that comes to mind in reading your question is what might happen concerning the client if they have certain preconceived ideas about hypnosis etc, even the 'instant' inductions are pre-framed in some way..
Just saying 'I'm ...
