Sometimes I'll believe whatever I'm told, other times not at all. <br /><br />Being tired, stressed, lonely. Wanting, needing, desiring, expecting something for me, some gratification; these conditions make me 'hungry' for something else too.<br /><br />The way I can keep on falling for a certain 'patter'. . . Or alternatively be on my guard against it. It can go either way with me.<br /><br />I went to see a hypno-therapist many years ago and 'I believed' then that it helped. But on reflection, now, looking back to that time I can now see the history of that belief system.<br /><br />I had a course of shiatsu which made me cry. Good grief if only I knew then what I know now!<br /><br />The shiatsu lady was nice enough and good at her art, but she also did not understand the facts and recommended me to see this hyno-therapist down the road. I duly toddled along with "a good recommendation". . .<br /><br />So let's analyse this with PT:<br /><br />A nice (young & attractive) woman brings me to my feelings and both of us are overwhelmed so we recommend I go and get a professionally induced trance to make me feel better. . .<br /><br />Then I discover I'm really resistant to suggestion! But, because I was recommended by the nice woman who helped me find my true feelings I had to believe the hypnotherapy "worked".<br /><br />It was really only an expensive relaxation experience. Honestly, as I get older I just can't quite believe the things I used to believe!<br /><br />Paul G.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02006514330039884557noreply@blogger.com
