I'm already getting feedback on this episode from hypnotists on other client saboteurs they've dealt with in their office - including well-meaning but not helpful comments from doctors and other professionals.
Leave us a comment below on client saboteurs and how you've dealt with it in your office, I'd love to hear about your experience!
Another great podcast!
I also wanted to pass along another idea.....
"My doc says I have to"......."My wife has developed an allergy to the smoke"....."I love to smoke...and I don't want to quit.......but I have trouble walking up stairs." "I don't want to quit/lose weight/drive on the expressway......whatever......" But....this is why I called.
The important thing is they are at last entertaining the idea. Of course, if it's clear that they want to prove this doesn't work.....they'll be right. And we want to weed out those prospects for all the reasons you said.
But.....EVERYONE has done something in life they don't really want to do!
Ask them if they WANTED to change the clocks for daylight savings time. No..but they did it...and two days later they didn't even remember it.
What else do they or have they done that they really don't/didn't want to? Get up early for work? Take public transportation? Change diapers....Take calculus to get their degree.......whatever.
Then go looking for the resources they used to get thru that experience. They can borrow those resources....things like tenacity, determination, stubbornness, a bet....whatever! Apply those resources for success to this change as well.
What will they get out of life when their wife quits nagging? How will that benefit them?

Just some additional thoughts.
