Welcome to my web said the spider to the fly; you are just in time for dinner :}
What are we serving? No worries, mate, it
is a family recipe.
It is an
interesting paradox that many therapies work with the presenting problems of their client, what I will call the cobwebs or
spider webs.
Unfortunately, 'the spiders' are left alone
and the webs come back, flies are invited to dinner and the process begins again.
In the case of a client who wants to stop smoking, we
can use hypnotherapy and provide a state of smoking cessation.
Fine
in & of itself, however, what was the benefit, or secondary gain that supported the habit of smoking?
Whatever a person does has an underlying benefit, regardless as
to the appearance of risk to health, relationships or others,
The Positive Intention will always be satisfied over the desired change ... unless the
desired change satisfys the intention.
