Lisa,

I loved this insight. How true it is we need to be curious and seek to understand them, from their point of view. (coming from a place of non-judgment)
This reminds me of the idea that we never have access to all the information. Our clients have their own limitations, struggles, challenges that they are dealing with and we don't ever have access to that info. So all we only really see the tip of the iceberg!
Great stuff.

Hi Sandy.
Thanks for the question. I hear some frustration in this question.
Although I did not write this particular post, I will comment on it from my perspective.
From what I know about people with ADD (ADHD is the hyperactivity element of the "disorder"), time is not something they process as those without ADD brain patterns. So it's going to be more difficult to have agreements with them that are time-sensitive.
Best to focus on other types of agreements with them, or find a way to get agreement on a time element but either create some flexibility in with it or give them some help on monitoring the time element, such as getting agreement that you can send them time reminders--though you have to first get agreement that they realize they have an issue with timeliness and are willing to be helped with that).
Hope that helps.
Lisa

That sounds well and good. How would you go about this with someone who has ADHD? Those commitments do not seem to end in the desired result - the agreement met on a timely manner. When the task is done, it seems like "too little too late"

Thanks for your comments, Kim. There are many wonderful modalities, besides hypnosis, that allow us to quickly let go of even the most ingrained and longest-held beliefs.

Good points Lisa.The effect of our beliefs on our decision making and perspective and choices is the central theme of all the cognitive based therapies. If hypnosis can cut through the "unfit" (pun on purpose) quickly, that is the way to go! Why suffer through regular therapy if you can take a shortcut to your subconscious mind.
I've never seen a featherless pelican, thanks for sharing the picture.

Lisa,
I just read your article titled "Seeing is Believing-Or Is It?'.

I love this article because it gives you a simple exercise at the end, 'taking your negative beliefs' and stating alternatives (sometimes the exact opposite!) The idea that we seek things in our environment to support and prove our beliefs is huge and I am looking at this in my life.

Thanks for this well written article!
