worry about whether or not my clients is in a trance.   I’m only
concerned that they are responding at both a conscious and
unconscious level.  As long as I have that, then I know that we are
heading in the right direction. 
8. Tell us something about your speciality in it.
I mostly work with anxiety… but that covers such a huge spectrum.
We probably need a better term for it.  I roughly define anxiety as
anything that results in the fight or flight response being triggered.
 That can cause negative thinking, panic attacks, phobias etc.  But it
can also cause all sorts of problems in the body that you’d never
think were related to anxiety.  
Lower back pain for example.  That can be caused by contraction of
the psoas muscle as the first response to perceived threat.   The
psoas is a muscle that runs through the pelvis and it’s one of the
first muscles you need to enervate when you run away from danger.
 That’s why it contracts when the fight or flight response is triggered,
and it’s hypnotically treatable.
True : Very informative
9. What is your perspective towards the life since you became a
therapist?
Hmm… I guess I have become more compassionate.   I don’t like
this trend in NLP to push people toward to change.   It’s
unnecessary and inelegant.  I encourage people to discover change
within themselves.  I prefer to encourage that to empower.
I completely agree with you. And thats exactly how I see it. What
comes from within is more authentic and effective. Instead of whats
forced from outside.

far?
