Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 You have better powers of persuasion than I, perhaps. All I know is that I couldn't connect at all with these guys. Most of them were pressured into going by their wives/girlfriends, so maybe there was a little bit of " I told you so " behind it, and it was satisfying for this acupuncture stuff to turn out to be hocus-pocus after all (confirming their beliefs). Most people want their beliefs affirmed. Few want their reality tested. I try to treat every person coming in as the most important in the world in that moment and do my best. Typically, this works, but, as they say, you can't please all people all the time. Benjamin Hawes, MAOM, Lic. Ac., CORTEZ FAMILY ACUPUNCTURE 1430 E.

After a couple sessions even the most sceptic clients catch on that something is happening. Perhaps you might want to consider networking with some ABTs.
