By Rich Simon As therapists, many of us practice in two different worlds. In the first, we see polite, well-behaved, articulate clients with solid values. They engage fully in therapy, talk cogently about their problems, listen attentively to our responses, make reasonably good-faith efforts to follow our suggestions, and sooner or later get better. No wonder we genuinely like these people! Does This Kid Need Medication? with Ron Taffel

Guided meditation & hypnosis have a number of things in common, including suggestion and dissociation. They also have mindfulness in common (i.e.: attention). But mindfulness is more than a technique or therapeutic strategy.It is a practice, that if done consistently, allows one to frequently experience the rawness, vividness and immediacy of momentary existence, as well as knowing the habitual everyday trance experience. In essence, one becomes more familiar with ones overall process, which of course can help when relating to others. Mindfulness can be done either as a secular or a spiritual practice.
