(A behind-the-scenes look at how it works)

Hey Future Looper!

Ever wonder what actually happens in an Enter the Loop session?
Not just the surface stuff—the real, nitty-gritty, behind-the-scenes magic.
(And no, it isn’t about fancy techniques or secret hypnotic language patterns… though I definitely went through that phase!)

The Setup

Picture this: a client comes in saying they’re stuck. It could be anything—

• Career decisions


• Relationship challenges


• Personal growth


• Life transitions


• That indescribable feeling that “something’s not right”

Sound familiar?

The Traditional Approach vs. The Loop

Most coaching/therapy sessions look like this:

• Client explains problem


• Practitioner diagnoses issue


• Technique gets applied


• Change is pushed for


• Results are… mixed

But Enter the Loop is different.

---

The First Five Minutes

From the moment your client walks in (or logs on), something interesting happens:
They’re not just telling you their problem—they’re showing you how to solve it.

Unconscious signals appear right away:

• How they describe the issue


• Where they look while talking


• What their hands are doing


• When they pause


• How they breathe

Every one of these is a doorway to transformation.

---

The L.O.R.R.A. Framework

Our core framework looks like this:

• Listen – not just to words


• Observe – those unconscious signals


• Repeat – their exact language


• Relate – connect what you notice


• Ask – get curious about what emerges

Each step builds on the last, creating a natural flow toward insight.

---

The Magic Moment

At some point you’ll notice the client:

• Slows down


• Gets quieter


• Looks away


• Shifts slightly


• Says something that seems “random”

That’s your cue—not to push, interpret, or “help,” but to get really curious.

---

The Dance

• They show you something (consciously or unconsciously)


• You notice it


• You reflect it back using their exact words


• They go deeper


• You follow

Rinse and repeat.

---

The Breakthrough

Here’s the beautiful part:
The solution always emerges naturally—not because you

• Figured it out for them


• Pushed them toward it


• Cleverly led them there


• Applied the “right” technique

—but because you helped them enter their own loop.

---

A Real Example

Last week a client talked about feeling “trapped” in their job. Each time they said it, their hands made a subtle pushing motion.

Instead of interpreting, I simply asked:
“What else do you notice about that?”

They grew quiet, then said:


“It’s funny… I keep pushing away, but I’ve never actually tried walking away…”

BOOM. The insight came from them, not me.

---

Why It Works

The Enter the Loop method works because it:

• Honors the client’s natural process


• Follows rather than leads


• Trusts natural transformation


• Creates space for insight


• Allows real change to emerge

---

Your Turn

Want to try this approach? Start simple:

• Notice more


• Say less


• Get curious


• Trust the process


• Follow what emerges

It really is that simple.
(Though it might take practice to trust that simplicity!)

---

What’s Next?

In our next post, we’ll dive into specific examples of how this plays out in different situations.

For now, in your next session, pretend you don’t need to “do” anything to help your client change.
Just notice what happens.

See you in the loop!

(And yes, that slight resistance you’re feeling to “doing less”? That’s exactly where your growth edge is… I see you! 😉)
