Was Gabrielle's microphone not working ? Rob comes through very clearly, but I can hardly hear Gabrielle.

Thanks to you both for sharing this clip, listening and observing is a great way to learn more about this practice.

I could hear Gabrielle, but there was one spot, between 16:06 and 16:24 where I couldn't make out what she said, and would like to know her words. Can you enlighten me?

It's okay. I think I got the jist of it anyway.

I pretended you were doing this with me, and wow - something shifted deeply. Willingness to allow. :D thank you sooooo much for this.

I appreciate the concept of looking at a problem as ironic and laughing at them was good feeling Not even having to directly mention what they are and gaining the trust of the client so that they are willing to talk about them indirectly or not was an eye opener. Feeling both like a client and a therapist was a good learning experience and made me realise nothing is really insurmountable it just depends on your skills, resources and willingness.

I listened to your voices different ears on my headphones and I believe the volume difference between you both was just a matter of technique. I found your wife saying less, much more quietly with a lot of mm sounds but this approach seemed gentler an more nurturing but by the same token Rob your style was louder but more demonstrative and humorous which also relaxed me and madam feel good. An interesting exercise which was fun. I can relate to the elevated heels back in the 70's (and the colour purple) so it resonated with me.

I then listened with the audio in each ear going at different times conflicting with the video and after a while I just accepted the confusion and i feel it went through the gates even more successfully. mmmmm........Yes......

There is something so ordinary about this. Is this hypnosis? perhaps momentary catalepsy but no big phenomena. If I client came to me for hypnosis could they believe this wasn't just a conversation. Surely full of meaning and kindness and humour. It allows me to ponder what is hypnosis.

Great video! It is very interesting how therapy can occur without any actual discussion of a problem. Think of opening a window into a stuffy room and letting fresh air rush in. The therapist's role is just to help the client notice the window, and then let him open it himself.

It was interesting how not even discusssing the issue led to release and freedom that had transferred from from other real issues in life. There was still a lot inward focusing and communication seem to come from many different levels.
