   Hi,

   First, thanks for the great podcasts guys.

   I don't understand why you advise to do only direct suggestion work with our family members.

   I understand the 2 reasons for this are:

   1-Lack of trust(Fear of you knowing confidential) infos may inhibit the session
   2-Then may tend to avoid you in the future if some embarrassing informations come up during the session.

   But, if you take the time needed to create a positive environment(as Celeste said) and explain to them that whatever happens during the session stays within the session it eliminates the 1st point.

   Heres an example that happened to me :

   My mother came to me for help about big anxiety issues that she's had for all her life. She really wants help. Me and her trust each other and I already know a lot about her past and what happened. She has told me she doesnt care what comes up I can deal with it and I told her whatever she tells me is confidential and will only be dealt with professionally.

   Now, I did a session with her, doing Age regression, chair therapy and self-forgivness work. The result ? Her anxiety disappeared.

   I also did sessions with my brother and girlfriend and have reported good results.

   I think that your 2 concerns are valid but can be countered by trust and love.

   Please note that I am a fairly new Consulting Hypnotist so I am not speaking from a much expercienced point of view like you Cal.

   What is you opinion on this?

   All the best,
