Hello Colin,

Good to hear from you. I don’t think this is a controversial perspective, I think you are spot on 🙂

With my very best wishes to you, Adam.

Thank you for the interesting post.

For what it’s worth, I think that the reason for the failure of Apps is their very nature … they are disposable consumer items in a culture driven by disposable consumerism! Whilst trying to develop my own business I came across people selling App making tools … and my experience is that the tools are not focussed on quality, but rather on churning out cheap, disposable, ‘toys’ that are driven by cross selling opportunities and advertising.

The real transformation that hypnotherapy delivers comes from the joined intention of the individuals involved in the session to deliver positive, long-lasting change. I don’t believe that there are many people who will achieve that from Apps.

Maybe I have a controversial perspective? I’d certainly welcome views!

Blessings
Colin

Just imagine the surprise and motivation of hearing your therapist’s voice shouting at you from your pocket “I HOPE YOU’RE NOT EATING CAKES!” just as you are in the queue at the bakery!
