Igor: Let us imagine we have our unhappy chappy here, is all sad and blue. Isn’t that how therapy always begins? Somewhere up here, there is a line here where
55
CHPH 2.0 ©Street Hypnosis All Rights Reserved consciousness starts to dissolve and what I like to call this area up here is the Trance of Infinite Possibilities (TIP), because you know when you get your head spun out like that do you notice it’s like everything becomes open ended, doesn’t it? Almost anything becomes possible. Good things and bad of course are possible.Your attitude will filter down towards the good things, that’s why we have H+, but both things are equally possible at this stage. So they come here and you ask them, how are they feeling? I feel a bit bad. So then you say something what’s not bad above all this and they’ll go huh. So they’ve just hit some place where normal thinking stops occurring, would that be fair to say? At this point they can come down in one of three places, either you ask them what’s happening now? And they go I’m feeling great, right? So if this happens of course what are you going to do? Well they are feeling great, so we are you going to do? So what’s the question?
Q: As feel great what do you feel about blah?
Igor: Yeah as you feel great think about that problem and notice what happens, right? Some people will come out and they will feel… They don’t quite know how they feel. So what do you do at that point? What do you say?
Q: How do you want to feel?
Igor: That’s one person who’s got it how about the rest of you? All: How do you want to feel?
Igor: How do you want to feel? This is not rocket science is it? All: No.
Igor: So they come down here you ask, how do you want to feel. And they say I want to feel good. What do say then? You really want to feel good. What’s it like when you’re feeling good. You are just going to bring it back to life. You are going to revivify it because eventually they’ll end up back here right at that point what do you say? As you’re feeling good, just think about the problem notice what happens. What do you say?
56
CHPH 2.0 ©Street Hypnosis All Rights Reserved All: As you feel good think about the problem and notice what happens.Igor: Again it is not difficult is it? You’re just doing the same thing again, right? But what if they come down and they are all sad, I’m still feeling bad or I’m feeling a different kind of bad than before but it’s still bad, any ideas what happens then? You do it all over again, exactly and you spin them back out until they land either here or here, which allows you to fast the whole thing off again. So you basically just keep running cycles until your done it’s not difficult is it? This diagram by the way is from John Overdurf, it’s been adapted a little bit so once again credit goes to him for this. Say that again.
Q: How comes that still comes back to the bottom again?
Igor: Because that is where the problem is right here. Here is where the problem is, this is where they started from and you have to transform, the only way you can transform something is to take what was the problem and repaint it with a resource. This situation the problem is a room where the problem is at and this up here this stuff up here. This is the resource, this is the paint. The paint must go in the room otherwise you’re not painting anything. It’s not enough to just make them feel good, that good feeling must attach to what the problem was and then you can start generating solutions and so on. Do you want to stand up so we can get a microphone to you?
Q: The exit in the diagram.
Igor: The exit will be right here at this point here, at the bottom. If this point here ends up here, your practically done, there is a few more tests, stuff we will talk about later. If at this point here at the bottom you get anything else you do exactly the same thing you’re basically popping right back up here or here again. See it doesn’t matter where you land, its only one of three possible choices you have. Some are good, some are neutral or some are unpleasant, that’s pretty much it. Is it easy to get. So down here we have, let’s use this. Here we have the P of the PCAT formula here with a C here is the A and right here we have the T do you see all three stages of the PCAT formula cycling through there. Is that easy to do? Just over here.
57
CHPH 2.0 ©Street Hypnosis All Rights Reserved Q: I’m not sure if I understand what I do when they say I still feel bad when you saidgo through the cycle again so what do I say?
Igor: What do you do when they feel bad down here? What do you do if they are saying I feel bad here?
Q: Is that at the beginning or?
Igor: It doesn’t matter the whole point is…
Q: So I say how do you want to feel? Or when we went through the process.
Igor: As soon as you have any negative emotion you’ve already have a problem don’t you?
Q: Yeah.
Igor: So then what the second step after the P?
Q: It how do you want to feel when we are through with the process, right?
Igor: That’s the thing here so what happens right after the PCAT formula. What does the P stand for?
Q: Well the C is after that.
Igor: Exactly what’s the C? What do you do in the C process?
Q: You bypass the critical factor so you use the Mind Bending Language. Igor: Mind Bending Language? So as soon as you get a problem what do you do? Q: Okay so I use the mind bending…
Igor: You spin them back out again, right? Because you’ve basically landed them in an unpleasant room so you are going to keep stirring the room and stirring the room until they land somewhere positive or neutral, right.
Q: Okay.
Igor: Neutral is almost positive which is why you can finish it in that way, that’s fine. It will make more sense as we go along does that help?
58
CHPH 2.0 ©Street Hypnosis All Rights Reserved Q: Yes thank you.Igor: Could you stand up so that we can get a mic to you. Over here.
Q: I’m working with a Shrunghi, he is my partner and he has a bit of a language barrier so when you give the time, I noticed how stressed he got because he felt like he was confused.
Igor: Sure.
Q: So I said just go slowly and I’ll try and help you as much as I possibly can.
Igor: So if you would like to just go with an assistant during the exercise they’ll help – coach you through. It will make it a little bit easier for you or he can do it in Korean if you prefer.
Q: Okay.
Igor: I really don’t mind because he’ll be doing this in Korean anyway at some point he may as well do it straight away does that help you? And you can just find a different partner because we are going to be swapping partners a lot at the moment.
Q: The other thing that I think would help is if you put like just an example of a phrase near each of those letters.
Igor: Here you go.
Q: I understand what you saying, but it would – I will do it myself.
Igor: It will get easier as we go along trust me alright. You just get the idea of it for now.
Q: Yeah but I think if you are a visual learner it would be easier.
Igor: We will get it as we go along, just one step at a time folks. Do you get the general overall sense of it, yes? Do you get the overall sense of the cycle, yes? So here is what we are going to do now. I will be your client as a group. So if I come into your office, what is the first thing you ask me?
59
CHPH 2.0 ©Street Hypnosis All Rights Reserved All: What’s your problem?Igor: Somebody going what’s your problem? Alright exactly so my problem is blah, so what do you say next?
2. Where & when do you have it? All: So where and when do you have it?
Igor: So when and where do you have it right so what do you ask me? All: When and where did you have it?
Igor: I want a little bit of more conviction folks, what do you ask? All: When and where did you have it?
Igor: I had it last Tuesday in my house. 3. How do you feel about that? All: How do you feel now?
Igor: How do I feel? I feel really bad.
4. How do you want to feel instead? All: How do you want to feel?
Igor: I want to feel good. So at this point you just say some Mind Bending Language. You just do some mind bending right. So throw some mind bending at me. Alright that’s enough don’t make me go crazy, I can deal with that one. So you have some mind bending, and what do you do now?
5. Mind Bending Language All: How do you feel?
6. How do you feel now? Igor: I feel great,
60
CHPH 2.0 ©Street Hypnosis All Rights Reserved Igor: So as you feel great think about the problem, how do you feel? What happens, isthat easy? All: Yeah.
Igor: Well I feel great, I’m done. Check $100 thank you very much well done. Now I’m a new client am coming in question here. What do you say?
All: What is the problem?
Igor: Perfect I’m saying blah what do you say? All: When and where did you have it?
Igor: Last Tuesday in my house. What do you say? All: How do you feel?
Igor: I feel bad. What do you say? All: How want to feel?
Igor: I would like to feel great. What do you say? Mind bending yes. Honestly at this point it matters very little, right? Then what do you say – you said it I’m going, interesting.
All: What's happening now? Igor: I’m not too sure.
All: How do you want to feel?
Igor: How do you want to feel? Absolutely, I would like to feel great. All: So what's it like when you do?
Igor: So what's it like when you do, right? What's it like when you do feel great, what's it like, right? Well it feels great, I’m great now?
All: Yeah.
61
CHPH 2.0 ©Street Hypnosis All Rights Reserved All: As you feel great think about the problem notice what happens.Igor: As you feel great think about the problem notice what happens. I feel great thank you very much.
All: $100.
Igor: That’s client number two you just earned $200 well done. Client number three walks in the door. Okay. When and where well, it was actually this time was a Monday and it was in my car.
All: How do you feel about it?
Igor: How do I feel? I felt pretty bad in the car. All: How do you want to feel?
Igor: I want to feel confident. You almost blew my ear of on that one. All: How do you feel? How do you want to feel?
Igor: Well I feel a bit bad actually. I feel a bit bad actually. Alright this is good, let me pause you there, whenever something negative arises you know what the normal response is? The simplest response? Bend their mind. You don’t need anything else because you’ve got a block to the resource. So bend their mind until they are actually somewhere positive, so somewhere neutral, right? If you recall lets go back to the picture here if I land over here – here we go. Where do I go? The only way out is up. Spin me out right. So what are you asking again how do you feel? I feel a bit bad. So you bend my mind I’m going like oh so and what do you ask
then? I don’t quite know. All: How do you want to feel?
Igor: How do you want to feel, right? I want to feel great. Well it feels great, as you feel great, is it starting to make a little sense folks? Now I know there is a couple of questions here, so go ahead let’s start there.
62
CHPH 2.0 ©Street Hypnosis All Rights Reserved Q: I’m just curious if you could explain why we – if they go back to feeling bad or ifthey are still feeling bad why we don’t try and access the resource state again. So how do you want to feel?
Igor: So let me ask you this, when they start of over here, they come into your room and they are feeling bad why don’t you go straight to the resource?
Q: Because we don’t have any reason yet. But no I’m saying afterwards. Igor: I understand, but why wouldn’t you not do it here either?
Q: Because you don’t have the explanation at all of what they are up to and what they are feeling.
Igor: Explanations are irrelevant, because we are in the unconscious mind at this point. What you don’t have is access. You need to get them out of the problem room to get access to the resource. When they are in the problem they don’t have access to resources that’s why they have problems and that’s irrelevant at what point in the story you are at.
You are absolutely correct. Your aim is to get them to the resource but has anyone here felt bad about something? And some one has tried to give them some advice like cheer up, look at the bright side, how helpful is that for you? Q: Not very helpful, but what I meant is when you are asking them so the first time
they say okay how does this make you feel bad. How do you want to feel? Is good. So why don’t we say how do you want to feel the second time that they say they are still feeling bad.
Igor: I see what you mean you mean like in the parameters because the only reason for the parameters is this. The parameters are literally setting a start point and an end point to put the unconscious mind on notice that it somehow has to make a journey, that’s it. Once you’ve established that, then that’s the context, that’s going to happen at some point or another. So you could do this for example, and I have seen this done very successfully. Everyone right now I would like you to think of a small problem you would like to resolve, is that okay with you guys and you are thinking of it right now?
63
CHPH 2.0 ©Street Hypnosis All Rights Reserved I’d like to think of a specific context when and where and how it makes you feel, right? How do you feel whilst the problem occurring? Not pleasant is that correct? So just clear your mind at that for a moment and think about how you’d rather be different. How you would like to be in that situation can you do that? Just forget all that and just think about you’d rather be different.Now close your eyes and wait for something important to happen. Put your hand up if you begin to feel the resolution starting to occur. It doesn’t have to completely go all the way through, lift it right up in the air and keep it up there for would you? That’s it, slowly but surely hands are coming up. Keep them up for now. Slowly but surely there we go, there you go. Now on pause, leave your hands where they are – leave your hands up if they were up leave your hands up if they were up and when paused open your eyes look around the room. So we got maybe what, a third of the room, half the room something like that is that, right? Did I do anything in terms of clever trance work or anything like that? No, well the only thing that I did is I put you on notice.
I asked you to think about a problem so we’ve got a start point. I asked you did you think how you would like it to be different, we’ve got an end point. Then I shut up I said you do it and your unconscious mind naturally connects the dots. Now this was how long, two minutes a minute less than that, 30 seconds and you are already starting to resolve something without my even needing to do anything. Did I say any clever words? Did I use Mind Bending Language on you? Did I have to get a symbol and pop it for you? Did I do a blitz and fill you full of resources? I did none of things because I didn’t have to, because I know that the unconscious mind likes to connect dots.
So the only reason for the parameters is to start is to have dots to connect. Here is where you are going to start. Here is roughly where you will finish and everything we do from this point on will be to help you make that transition. Does that kind of make sense?
I know a person who does this with massage therapy. They will talk about a problem with a client before they – as they are getting them ready and they’ll say, how you like to be different and so on its great. Get on the table massage,
