9. What is the common challenge (s) you come across as a therapist ?
- You have a natural resistance to change
- Change is exactly as uncomfortable as your resistance to it
- Fear is your number one limiting factor 
- Fear is a belief
- The concept that change is impossible is a belief
- If you wish to create change you may first want to embrace the belief that

you can do about it, change starts
10. How do you resolve them?
My sessions start before you ring my doorbell, by asking you to comply to be
there on time. Not before, and not after. This is part of a compliance set that
creates a mind frame of investing in your change, being willing to adapt in the
name of your own good. If you ring my door on time I will open immediately, if
you ring before or after there will be a delayed response, just enough to
create a subconscious reflection. This is also part of the induction of your
session. 
The key to all change of mind, emotion and behavior is a change of state,  of
heartbeat,  of emotion,  of direction or outcome. To exit a repeating toxic
trance of rumination or disbelief a simple tool such as humor invoking

state. 
The same goes for every type of body based stress-regulation and grounding
technique such as tapping (TTT/TFT/EFT), Havening techniques, Tapas
Acupressure Technique (TAT) or tactical breathing. Any change of heartbeat,
cortisol or body posture will reflect in a change of state and thought pattern.
Interrupting the ongoing pattern is the name of the game. 
Using language to reach thoughts is a powerful tool of intervention and in
combination with the focused and less-critical states of mind that hypnosis
offers I find there are many resolutions possible in the realm of
Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and associated techniques such as
Clean Language (David Grove) and Reflective Repatterning (Chris Milbank). 
Every technique that moves through the thinking system is what trauma
