@@terryeverson9820 The slurring is because of post polio syndrome.

When you speak in metaphors, automatic connection is made with the unconscious mind, and when you tell a story the same happens. It does not matter whether you a listening or not: but, what matters is the unconscious connectivity of listening. This is the ability of not knowing you are listening; yet listening to the point achieving understanding. You can do what you don't know very effectively...... This is because your abilities are great..... This is not a contradiction but an insight into deeper understandings. Milton Erickson the genius knew all about it.

Thank you!

I was out cold within 60 seconds. Don't even remember falling asleep, and when I awoke the first thought in my mind was a clear succinct explanation/solution to a personal problem I'd been struggling with recently. Profound.

I have not watched ME on video for 20 years or so but i immediately go into a hypnotic state the minute I hear his voice.... this man was the father of all psychiatrists... the trainee psychiatrists and therapists should all listen, watch and learn. His many techniques are all so powerful.

Richard Alpert he is so soothing, he sent me off to sleep, amazing, he could heal just by talking and just by being present.

This is very convincing and persuasive.

fucking depressing and terrifying story. and utterly true.

a GENIUS !

awesome.

Amazing dr

I think he's talking to a lot of us

Please anybody can explain the actual meaning of what he is saying. I think his words say something but the meaning is something else. Or is this kind of hypnotic script??

What he is basically saying is "don't delay until tomorrow what you can do today". And he takes a long time to say it in a soothing voice. Am I missing something here?

You are missing everything. There is a difference between telling things in a emotionally distant analytic manner and using anecdotes and engaging techniques to anchor the lesson into the subconsciousness of the listener. There are always many different ways of expressing the same issue. And Milton Erickson was a genius of finding exactly the right way of phrasing that his patients need to hear to learn the lesson. Watch the video about the "little girl who lied and lied and lied" do you think it would've been enough to tell her: "It is wrong what you are doing and there's always someone watching"? No! Then she would've refused to change, because it is too obvious, and most people with psychological problems are stuck in their situation and afraid of change.

Like many people, those who put things off with a "I'll do it tomorrow" or something similar will never do what they say they will. It could be a clue for those of us who do this. Why tomorrow? Let's do it now.

I prefer to read the book because I can barely make out what he is saying

😊😊😊

I wish I could understand what he was saying without having to read. I'm a bit hard of hearing.

I wonder if these story's of "max, Wanda, Jimmy, r actual stories of real ppl. Or if he's actually speaking in parables kinda.

Yes, good question. The inch of water in the bath sounds questionable but I think it reinforces the message of Max's fear of taking a chance, facing a fear... always "I'll do it tomorrow" is the same as saying "never!" ... except that the speaker will not admit that to themself..

why let Max and more so let Wanda waste each of their lives why not help them. Knowing all that and not helping them is not right... but I don't think they are real people how can someone bathe with one inch of water lol
