Show Notes for Episode 154

  • Our new course on self hypnosis is now available
  • Can all problems be resolved in one session? Nope.
  • Make it difficult to see you! It helps with finding clients at threshold...
  • The Mandel Model is one way of looking at things...It's a model, not tools...
  • "The test of a model is its usefulness" - John Grinder
  • What do you want? or What would you like to have happen?
  • The solution is always external to the box you're stuck in...
  • How will you know when you have it? (evidence criteria)
  • The client is trapped in a labyrinth...and they created it!
  • People do not react to the world. They react to their internal representation of the world...
  • Labyrinths have false exits, looping hallways, locked doors, darkness, etc.
  • The labyrinth is real to the client! The constraints of the labyrinth are real...
  • The labyrinth is entirely original, and unique in form and meaning...
  • The labyrinth is constructed by the client's response to external events...
  • The labyrinth is supported and undergirded by the client's beliefs!
  • We cannot jump into the labyrinth, kill the monster and drag the client out!
  • Parents need to teach kids to solve their own problems...

      Tonight! On the Level 42 Network:  Jerry and the Smooth One...

  • The client must exit the labyrinth under his own power...
  • Give the client the tools so he can finish the job!
  • The labyrinth must be dismantled by the client...
  • A reframe can automatically dismantle the labyrinth... 
  • The client must be at Cause, not Effect!

  • The Final Question: What's next? Put the client at Cause!
