The mentalist

Have you ever wondered how the mentalist do what he does? He appears to have absolute confidence in his observations and belief in his conclusions. He also appears not to have the chatter in his mind like most normal people. Ergo he has little resistance to change.

In the counselling phase, we are usually trying to get the person to accept the mounting evidence and not to blank out or selectively see the evidence. We are trying to get them to join the dots, to reduce the chatter. We are trying to give them the confidence to see that change is possible; that they can get out of the rut they are in. Ergo we are trying to teach them how to think well first.

In the coaching phase, we are training them to learn faster and faster, change faster....the mentalist to be.. Here.

Which phase would you want to be in? Which phase are our players in? Where would our GM come from?
