Installing a Filter for Self Protection, NLP and hypnosis

Coaches, therapists, hypnotherapists gain rapport with their clients through physiological mirroring. Rapport as defined by NLP as unconscious responsiveness existed long before Grinder and Bandler discovered it. It's an evolutionary trait inherent in humans and animals and is supported by mirror neuron theory.
A 'protection filter' is set up by engaging the unconscious mind and making an agreement that the unconscious will filter out anything which will call into question your health and well being when you as coach are working with clients. A coach can therefore develop deep rapport without activating in themselves the emotions or physical challenges a client is experiencing.
