Hi, Michael!

I have had this issue one or two times. I found that it's OK to say that
people can come and see me without having a "problem". You can do
reinforcement of the change and relaxation, etc. I don't think I remember if
this is a
child or an adult. Sometimes I've had adults who want to send a brief update,
which they soon get tired of doing and stop, and if not I reply with "Great
job!" or something. I'm careful to keep it professional (no going out to
lunch, etc) but nice and that works. By the way, these folks refer everyone
they know.

Be well................Nancie

I just received a call from a clients mother to inform me of why her
child is not going to make the change. It turns out that her daughter
does not want to stop because she says she wants to keep seeing me.

It was one appointment that lasted for an hour and a half in which we
examined benefits, bio-feedback, and did some trancework. We would make
some progress and then the will took over and resistance.

I provided some homework and just received a call that informed me that
the resistance is coming because of the desire to keep seeing me. She
enjoyed the session so much that she wants to keep doing it.

Now I can say that I have not run into this before that I am aware of.
It is funny because we set up another appointment to address the change
a different way now that we no what the benefit to resist is.

How many of you have had this challenge come into play with your
practice?

Michael
