I had the most fun a couple of days ago. Something a little different than the calls I usually get.
I got a call, from a really nice lady, who was really desperate. She wanted to know how quickly she could see me for
hypnosis for a memory-related problem. She said that she was retired, living on Social Security, but had a really good memory,
but she had done this thing.... and ..... could I help her?
She had put something away. In a place that she told herself "Boy, NOBODY will find it here!" And, sure enough, nobody
could find it, not even her.
So, when was the earliest I could see her at my office? She told me how important this was. It was money that
she had put away so well, and she told me that her income was pretty low, this money had a special purpose, and it would really
be a bad thing if she wasn't able to find it. She was quite literally in a state of panic over this. She had been searching
everywhere, for hours.
Well, my office is an hour and a half drive from my house. That's on a day when there are no traffic problems....
in other words it's rare for it to only take one and one half hours. I actually leave two and a half hours before an
appointment, and usually make it a little early, or right at the time of the appointment. (Obviously, I schedule my office
visits with clients back-to-back on the same days) So, on THIS day, with this poor lady who was really worked up, desperately
wanting my help, this was REALLY not a good day from my standpoint, to drive into the office. It wasn't a regular office
day and I had other obligations to take care of.
I often, with return hypnosis clients, or with coaching clients, have telephone sessions. I've done enough of these to
know they're just as effective, so I asked her if we could do a telephone session. She said yes. Well, we had more fun!
Of course, one of the FIRST things I suggested, was that she go back in time, in her mind, to change the remark
she had made. About NOBODY ever finding it HERE. I asked her to go back to that moment and change it to Nobody but HERSELF.
Well, she thought that was a little silly, but I didn't. I know for a fact, that your unconscious mind is there to take your
orders. (Read my blog of April 13, 2005) She had "ordered" her unconscious mind to make that a place NOBODY could
find her money. We changed that, and then moved in hypnosis on to a safe, wonderful place to play. A place for her anxiety-ridden
mind to relax and get refreshed.
Of course we did some more hypnosis work, calculated to get her the results she requested.
And, well before the session was expected to end, a picture came into her mind... she told me about it..... and went
and looked there (another advantage of her being in her home during our session!) And she found it! She was SO relieved and
thankful. We then did some initial work on what we could do in the near future to increase her income. Most people, I find,
have skills that can bring in more money than they are aware of. This falls RIGHT into the kind of coaching I love to
do!
Another fun day of hypnosis! Another goal reached. I just love my job!
