2. One of the holy grails for therapy a
"content-less" structure.
3. Now, usually when somebody thinks of
therapy, they think of going to some
stuffy dude or woman behind a desk
who keeps asking questions like,
"What do you think that means? How
do you feel about that?"
4. One of the breakthroughs of NLP and
covert hypnosis is that it cured people
of their problems pretty quickly,
usually within a couple of sessions.
5. Now, you may wonder why more
"therapists" aren't using these tools.
6. It COULD be (just a guess) that some
folks would rather see a customer
come in week after week for MONTHS
(especially if the insurance is paying
for it) instead of once or twice.
7. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure they are
plenty of good therapists out there
who really intend to do right by their
patients.
8. But for some of these once or twice
guys, a dream session is one that is
totally devoid of content.
9. For example, let's say a client has
some sexually related or intimacy
related problems.
10. They aren't likely to open up too much
for the first time with a new counselor.
11. Which is why some really cutting edge
counselors are always looking for the
totally "content-less" sessions.
12. Where the client never needs to say
anything OTHER than "this problem,"
whatever the problem is.
13. Then speaking in ONLY structure
language the counselor can guide to
find solutions and resources within
themselves, without ever needing
labels.
14. Client comes up, talks to the counselor
for an hour or so, client leaves
completely satisfied.
