The Subtleties of Change

One of my clients last week said to me "I don't think this is working" meaning, of course, that Hypnotherapy wasn't working for her.
"Oh" I said, "Isn't it, well lets discuss that in a moment, first, tell me what's been good about your week". "Well" she said "my kids have been a lot calmer this week".
"That great, why do you think that is?" I asked.
"I suppose I've been a lot calmer as well"
"That's good, what else"
"I suppose I've managed to get on with things this last week, like housework and washing "
"Great, what else?"
"I've been able to get out and about and went to a friends for coffee, which was nice"
"Excellent. What else?"
"That's it really, actually it's been a really good week, I've achieved quite a lot"
"So you still think this isn't working?"
"Oh, well when you put it that way, I suppose it is"
I love the fact that for some clients change is so subtle they don't actually realise its happening. Then when you point it out they have a real lightbulb moment.
