Cause & Effect

Does reading this mean that you are interested?

Greetings!

Cause and effect patterns come in the structure of :" When you X, then Y will happen"

In order for the listener to make sense of this, they have to do "X" and search for "Y" happening. Take for instance the following sentence:
 

"When you take a deep breath and close your eyes, feelings of deep relaxation will flow over you"

On the surface it looks like a completely reasonable sentence, and likely true. But is it always 100% true? Is it possible to close your eyes and take a deep breath and not have relaxation? Of course it is! So there is no direct link between the two, but stating it in this way will create a linkage for the listener if we have adequate rapport. Using cause effect statements are a great way to build new beliefs for clients also.
