For some reason clients occasionally ask if Hypnotherapy is guaranteed to work.
Can your doctors guarantee a cure.
Can any of us guarantee we will live the day out?
Does your pension scheme guarantee, that at some point in time you will receive 100%
the pension they say they will pay?
Life does not have any guarantees, so why do some prospective clients unreasonably
think Hypnotherapy can be guaranteed to work, when the processes are going on
inside the clients’ mind.
No professional Hypnotherapist will give you a guarantee simply because most of the
work goes on inside the clients mind.
The therapist can only control events inside the consulting room, not what happens
when the clients goes away. No Hypnotherapist has control over the clients mind, no
client can be made to do anything they don’t want to do.
For example,occasionally I used to have a client who wanted to stop smoking tobacco.
A few years ago I didn’t ask if they smoked other things like banned substances.
Because most users mix tobacco with cannabis,’grass’ or whatever it will be impossible
to stop the client smoking unless they are 100% committed to stop smoking anything.
Equally if a client is asked to imagine this or that and they are sat in the chair thinking
about their date that night or the shopping or ‘how can somebody talking to you stop
you smoking’. Such people are not focusing their mind on the job in hand ,they are not
co-
All a Professional therapist can guarantee is that they will use their best efforts
to help you the client achieve a successful outcome.
So next time you consult a medical practitioner or dentist, hairdresser or lawyer or
teacher or a politician, do ask for a guarantee that they will give you what you want.
