Watching a few excellent educational videos on TED.com, I came across this and thought it might appeal…
What I like is how, by changing the shape, colour and dosage of a placebo you make it more effective. Of course any kind of change work will be affected in the same way by things like experience of the therapist, certifications, professional membership, insurance etc. whatever the patient believes is important.
One of the things that I’ve noticed that contributes heavily to the effectiveness of a session is the discussion on how the technique works before and after the actual change works. If the client understands logically how it will work, then it is more effective. I just shows that actually it is possible to make unconscious changes through conscious, logical discussion.
