What have you got to lose?


Sometimes we encounter real resistance when we are attempting to go in a new and sometimes threatening direction. We find that despite the best treatment, support, motivation, and medicine;we are resistant to change. In these cases it is sometimes beneficial to attack the problem from a loss benefit analysis. Even though the old thought pattern, illness, or behavior has tangible negative impact on our life, there is a reciprocal benefit which may be known only to the presenter. For example a woman who senses her marriage has deteriorated into a union of obligation, may manifest a host of pains and illnesses which require her spouse to be a reluctant caregiver--As long as the illness persists--the relationship maintains its status quo. Another example might be a pseudo illness such as a sensory deficit such as a hearing loss that results after a trauma. In this scenario the affected party may be reluctant to hear any more bad news and while there is no known etiology or cause for the problem, the loss persists.

One way of dealing with these presentations is by using an advanced hypnosis technique known as parts therapy. Under a deep trance, the client confronts the unruly part and cooperation, integration or elimination is the result. Namely the client negotiates a truce with the part, assimilates the part back into the whole of the body, or the offending issue is figuratively dismantled and removed--thereby relieving the client of any residual influence. Parts therapy can be highly effective and should be considered when the client fails to make progress or you have tried every thing available and you cannot progress in your treatment.
