Hi All

I find the relevance of the words is important to the point that they feel
right for the client. They fit with their way of thinking and that they
hold an emotional charge. Then you know that they are focused on the issue
and have brought it into their conscious mind. Also the relevance of
inserting a positive statement is that it reframes the issue and gives back
choice where previously the client felt stuck. It allows the client to
focus on there being a possibility of a solution which wasn't present in
their map of the world previously.
