Here are the show notes for this episode:
- Reminder we’re hitting Las Vegas this August for Hypnothoughts Live 2015.
- We dive into a discussion of unnecessary capitalization and unnecessary quotes. Do you know what strange capitalization tells you about a person (even in typed content)? Listen and find out.
- The winner of our contest from Podcast Episode 56 is Matthew from El Paso, TX. Congratulations on a hilarious use of the tag team context free humour model that we shared during our last podcast.
- Michael’s question is about working a typical 9 to 5 job, but he recently has been feeling as if he’s living in the third person. Can this be related to his job not being fulfilling, or his newfound interest in personal development? Mike talks about de-personalization syndrome.
- We segue into a discussion of the law of comparison, which you’ll find useful to apply in a number of ways.
- Mike drives Chris nuts by continually finishing his sentences on purpose. Unfortunately for Chris, this is a natural talent that Mike has. Fortunately for you, it’s easy to get quite good at this and use your new power to annoy others.
- We revisit the concept of threshold. Often times, we get emails or phone calls from someone who wants us to help a friend. Guess what? If the person who needs the help isn’t asking for the help it simply does not work. This is a good discusion and worth listening to.
- Chris talks about using small tests to find out if someone is serious about the change they want you to help them make. If people fail small tests they are not serious, and not worth your time to help. Mike reminds us that this puts the client at cause (rather than at effect). Mike also reminds us how Erickson used ordeals to get clients to change their behaviour.
- We discuss several irritating linguistic habits that we notice in others and even catch ourselves doing! How many of these are you doing yourself? Get rid of the filler phrases from your speech patterns!
- We discuss, “Are you using your stories or are your stories using you?” Find out how this applies to your life, and the lives of those you care about.
- Mike shares a huge tip on how to get people to like you. Hint: It’s all about THEM, not about you.
Empowering Question: What is the biggest blind spot in your life right now, and what are you prepared to do immediately to correct the situation?
Closing Metaphor: The Wood Lot.
