Nitin Shah will be conducting a live Q&A on the application of Hypnosis, NLP, and other related techniques in Coaching or Therapy. This is your opportunity to ask him any questions you may have about these powerful tools.

💬 Bring your own questions too – we’ll be taking them LIVE!
Will discuss some real practical questions like:
1 - A client uses intellectualization to avoid feeling grief during sessions. How can a therapist work past this defence mechanism and access the underlying emotion?
2- You mentioned that acceptance can help in overcoming anger. How should a therapist approach situations where the client should not accept another person’s behaviour, such as when their boundaries are being crossed?
3- How can a therapist restructure a deep core belief such as “I am unworthy” when it conflicts with the client’s personal value of building strong, vulnerable relationships?
4- I’ve heard that exposure therapy works particularly well for phobias. Is double dissociation a component of exposure therapy, or is it a separate therapeutic concept?

Nitin Shah is the CEO of ICHARS and Director of ICHARS Support Foundation. He is an Author, Cognitive Hypnotic Coach. For more than a decade, he has been training, supporting and mentoring psychologists and coaches in their journey to create an emotionally and financially fulfilling career.

Progress in therapy can feel like the finish line—but sometimes, it’s only the beginning of a different clinical challenge.

A client may learn healthier coping strategies, set boundaries, manage emotions, and make meaningful changes… but can they sustain those changes when the triggers, relationships, stress, and real-life challenges return?

In Episode 5 of Thinking Like a Therapist, we explore:

🧠 Why setbacks don’t automatically mean therapy failed
🔍 What therapists can learn from the return of old patterns
🌱 How to prepare clients for setbacks
🎯 How to measure progress beyond symptom reduction
🤝 And how to help clients become independent rather than dependent on therapy

Because effective therapy isn't just about helping clients change.

It’s about helping them make the change last.

🎙️ Episode 5 is coming soon.

If you’re a therapist, psychologist, counsellor, coach, or psychology student, this conversation is for you.

A client can deeply want to change and still struggle to take action.

For therapists, that gap between intention and behaviour is clinically important.

Instead of immediately asking, “Why is this client resistant?”, it may be more useful to explore:

→ What is maintaining the current pattern?
→ How ready is the client for the next therapeutic step?
→ Is the intervention matching their current needs?
→ Are we moving faster than the therapeutic process allows?

Because the right intervention at the wrong time can still miss the mark.

In Episode 4 of Thinking Like a Therapist, we unpack client readiness, resistance, therapeutic timing, and how therapists can make more intentional clinical decisions.

Are you sure you know when a client is ready to change? đź‘€

Some common beliefs about client readiness may actually be influencing the way we approach therapy.

Our carousel breaks down 3 myths vs. realities around readiness, resistance, and therapeutic timing.

Because sometimes, the issue isn't that the client doesn't want to change—it’s that we need to understand what is happening beneath the behavior.

🎙️ Episode 04 of Thinking Like a Therapist goes deeper into this conversation.

A therapist’s expertise is not measured by how many problems they can address, but by how well they can identify what matters most right now.

In therapy, every concern can feel important. But therapeutic progress often depends on the ability to prioritize without dismissing.

The real clinical skill is knowing when to say:

“This matters—but perhaps not yet.”

I’ve grouped the questions by theme, removed overlaps, and kept the original meaning so they’re ready to share for the Friday session.

Friday Q&A Session – Questions

1. Parenting, Children & Family Dynamics

Stubbornness & Parenting

4- What traits or parenting patterns can contribute to a child becoming stubborn or resistant?
2- How can parents effectively deal with stubborn children without creating more resistance?
3- A 15-year-old initially wanted to pursue AI Engineering and chose PCM for intermediate, but now has lost interest and frequently looks for ways to skip school. What could be happening psychologically, and how should parents deal with the situation?
4- How can therapists help parents reframe fears arising from their own historical experiences or perceptions of social-media activism, so they can support their children’s questioning of authority without feeling that their family’s safety is at risk?

Not every concern your client brings needs your attention at the same time.

Therapeutic expertise isn't just about knowing what to work on.

It’s knowing what deserves attention first—and why.

Because sometimes, the most important clinical decision is not choosing the right technique…

It’s choosing the right focus.

A pattern you notice isn't always a pattern you understand. 🧠

As therapists, it's easy to connect the dots too quickly.

But when we suspect a recurring pattern, the better question is:

What if our interpretation is wrong?

Before you formulate, ask:
→ What repeats?
→ What changes?
→ When does it not happen?

Because pattern recognition without curiosity can become premature interpretation.
