Will do,
There is some detail I have left out on reflection, there were some specific challenges we had, fo example with TLT…specific events were blocking him coming back on the timeline…we had to deal with a number of them individually, for example…when I get time will add to to this. This guy has been quite far down the path of MS symptoms. It is looking more clear to me, that how he has been labeled from an early age by Doctors, Family, teachers, peers and others has had a big impact on him. We have made good progress (I believe so far)…and more to follow. Also very obvious that rapport has been important here – he trusts me (and makes a point of saying that). This rapport allows me to make suggestions to him and he accepts them! 🙂

It has taken me a little while to get back and update (apologies).
We have made some great progress – have just heard from client’s wife today that client is moving to thinking and engaging in things that they previously not considered a possibility.
It’s a bit of a story. As I mentioned earlier, we were unable to meet F2F due to Victorian Covid lockdown. We had two zoom meetings where I did hypnosis for relaxation (and readiness for change) for both the client and his partner. I supplied recordings and tasking.
Subsequently, we have been able to meet face to face and we have dealt with a range of issues. Order below:
1. Clients well formed goals/Evidence Procedure
2. Secondary gain (we managed to have a very open and frank conversation around this, and discussed identity and financial gains from various sources). Both client and partner were adamant that they were prepared to give up gains for improvement). I note Sandra’s point on secondary gain – if we couldn’t get past that, we would have had no success. See issue arising with mother below.
3. Timeline Therapy – cleared all major negative emotions and a number of specific events. Was a very slow process. Client very ‘K’. Got faster with experience. Immediate positive results, able to move arms when could not previously, other mobility issues improved. When cramping occurred, I used pain paradigm – what’s the emotion you are feeling now etc. Very successful. 3 two hour sessions with this client on TLT – no problem though as they both saw immediate improvements from first session. Slow going.
4. Set future images of self (internal representations) in client’s mind using hypnosis.
5. Setback caused by client’s mother. Family outing, mother insisted that client use scooter instead of walking – argument in public, humiliating for client. Client reverted to immobility..so used scooter.
6. Dealt with issues communicating/setting boundaries with mother. Step improvement again.
7. We have dealt with light sensitivity, sound sensitivity and a range of different issues. Have made strong use of hypnosis and submodality changes.
8. Overall – so far very successful. More to tell, later 🙂 -
Fyi, I have just started working with a client with MS too. Keen to see what is added to forum, and will share also. I have started with hypnosis on request for relaxation and prepping mind for change (also due to lock down here in Melbourne). Hypnosis tonight for sensitivity to light and sound (I would have started with detailed pers history and Timeline as Gina mentioned but for lockdown. Hypnosis (and a recording they can use) has been helpful to client so far.
I look forward to hering how you go Sandra…and of course will share.

I’m well behind the discussion here, but catching up! Strategy is an interesting area to work in. Noting your comments on Board change Gina and where is the strategy? Strategy sounds complex (but it’s not really). I specialise in risk , and at the board level, risk equates to ‘downside and upside opportunity’. Minimise the downside, maximise the upside. Where am I going with this…well It’s one thing to create a strategy. It’s another thing to implement. Will have to go back and look at p38 Sect 9 (:) ). I remember it though. Implementation and SMART goals in context of the business are key.
Great conversation and I may well have missed the boat! 🙂
