Have Someone “Say It” That Your Subject Must Undoubtedly Believe!

Enhancement of the imagination and a person’s belief system are often closely tied together. In Therapy, a subject will have a greater likelihood of complying with the suggestion you provide, if he or she believes that the statement is (1.) Possible and (2.) is True. In therapy, in sales, and for that matter in everyday life, the following has consistently proven to hold true. If you (The Therapist, Provider, etc.) say something to another person, it may or may not ring true to them. If the other person says it themselves, he or she is far more likely to accept it as being both possible and true. After all… they did say it themselves.

Limiting Beliefs

In the vast majority of cases, a person’s inability to achieve greater abundance, success, happiness and more, is due to their own unconscious limiting beliefs about themselves. Conversely, by eradicating those limiting beliefs and replacing them with a belief in their own abilities, competence, and self-worth, that person can begin to flourish. I believe that enhancement of the imagination is one of the most important components when using hypnosis therapeutically. When a person accepts, at a core level, that it is possible for them to accomplish something, and they can envision and/or feel themselves accomplishing their goals, a large part of the battle has already been won.

They Said It So It Must Be True

The video portion of this article demonstrates a simple example of the practical use of my principle, “They Said It So It Must Be True!” Many of my past students, who have since gone into private practice, have told me over the years how useful this technique has been for them. I hope that you will find it useful as well.
