This case study mainly involves the use of NLP and hypnosis.

My client got referred to me by her sister who successfully ended her Trichotillomania after 5 years of doing this useless habit (back then I didn’t know NLP and I just used 5path hypnotherapy on her). For the purpose of this case study, we’ll call her Y. Y’s boyfriend had broken up with her around a year ago and she still can’t get over him which is actually preventing her from dating or seeing anyone else. Whenever he calls her, Y gets an irresistible urge to answer the phone and submit to his demands. He calls her every week and they end up having sex leaving her feeling guilty and helpless. He then tells her it was a mistake and shouldn’t interfere with their friendship.

Session 1: Direct Suggestion
After intake of paperwork, pretalk, history of the problem overview, we move on to the big brown chair Elman-Banyan induction, testing for somnambulism, direct suggestion, mending a broken heart technique, emerging leaving the post-suggestion of the color red and time distortion.

Session 2: Age Regression (4 days later)
Review of last session, get feedback from Y and she tells me every time she saw the color red she lost feelings for him more and more. She tells me that he called her 3 times and she didn’t answer any of his calls. We move on to the big brown chair again. I use the 8 word induction, test for somnambulism and start the session. We uncover the ISE at age 6 where her mother yells at her for breaking a little wooden toy and tells her “you can never take care of your stuff, you’ll never be good at anything”. We do the informed child technique and a few others moving through all SSE’s and SPE and then move into the direct suggestion where I use the high road to success. Then we move onto doing the swish pattern. Her cue picture is a very miserable one, but her “very best you picture” seems to put her in a wonderful state. Session is successful and Y is feeling better than ever.

Session 3: FOO (forgiveness of others) and FOS(forgives of self) (3 days later)
Review last session, get feedback from Y and she tells me how she gained some very powerful insights from the previous session. Y tells me that he called 4 times and she picked up once and told him “never call again” and she hung up. We move onto the big brown chair again and start the session. We set up the round room with the two chairs where the other person cannot remember or say anything during or after he leaves the room. Y picks her boyfriend to be in the chair facing her. Action time!! It take her 30 minutes to let it all out (the pounding on the pillow technique). We move on FOS. Again, she did marvelous and I tried something new I embedded re-parenting into this technique and changing personal history to eliminate all feelings of shame, guilt… Session was very successful and Y is very happy and she says “I FEEL I’m in control, I’m so happy I’m done with this issue for good now.”, which of course makes my day ? 3 weeks later I get a call from Y, and she tells me that she met someone the day she walked out of my clinic and they’ve been dating for 2 weeks.

P.S There was no need for Parts Mediation, apparently both 5path and NLP worked together like magic. Thanks Dr. Horton
