Podcast #168 – Cheat Sheets and Exit Strategies

• We're on Club House now! Check us out on Mondays at Noon Eastern Standard Time!
• Don't take notes if your client has a fear of pieces of paper...
• Don't go into sessions with a plan! That's because no battle plan survives first contact with the enemy...
• A cheat sheet can be a safety blanket, sort of like Linus on Charlie Brown...
• Mike's doctor was smart. He gave him a placebo so he could go onstage...
• When you get the knack, you begin to trust your own unconscious mind!
• Harvey Specter's hands are always empty, which is awesome! 
• Go in with a full toolbox rather than a plan!
• Hypnotic scripts are training wheels and good for study, but don't read them AT a person!
• If you trust your unconscious to run the therapy, can't you trust it to select the therapy too?
• Mike tells the story of fixing pseudo-heart attacks - but not the way he planned...
• Let's talk about Exit Strategies!
• When the meeting is over, you need a way to get out!
• In person, just stand up! It breaks state immediately!
• The imaginary phone-call is a great way to end a conversation as in "Give me two minutes..."
• You can start your meeting with an open notebook. Then close it firmly to end things!
• Build rapport. Then when you break rapport, the meeting is over!
• Back away from the screen to break Zoom and Skype calls...
