Document Summary

People have w/in themselves natural abilities to overcome difficulties, to resolve problems, to go into a trance and to have all of the trance phenomena. Every person reacts differently, according to his own background of personal experience. You cant tell anyone how to think, feel and react. Humans are capable, and maintain/support health if allowed to. People aren"t set as they express themselves currently; respond to different stimuli w/ different responses. Life is lived in the present for tomorrow. People can change their behaviour, how they express their personality and other parts of themselves. Views of the past only important when they stultify the person to be rigid. Problems may arise for functional reasons, but after time they stop serving the function, they use them b/c they are so patterned. Habits may be based on habitual patterns of response (not always symptomatic of deep trauma) Hypnosis, hypnotic communication skills and interpersonal influence. Elicit natural abilities, not teach people in psychotherapy.
