The Art of Insight in Coaching and Therapy

People tend to really change when they have a deep embodied insight....

The Value of Insight

Join change worker, trainer and author Jørgen Rasmussen, with over 25 years of professional client work, for this four part workshop on creating the conditions for insight and change.

Jørgen writes:

“One key insight for me after 29 years of client work is the realisation that people tend to change when they have an insight.

These are the moments where the clouds part and something clicks into place. When they see something new, have an aha or a shift in perspective.

An insight is a fresh new thought backed by a felt sense. People can have intellectual insights, but that’s quite different than a felt realisation. With the latter there is a feeling of lightness, often a sense of relief and a sweetness”.

What This Course Is About

There is a marked difference between a client having an intellectual understanding of an issue versus a client having an insight - a fresh new thought backed by embodiment or felt sense.

Renowned therapist Milton Erickson used to say that the job of the therapist was to provide “the weather”, that ism to create the conditions within which insight and change can occur.

It’s about how you can create a context so that your clients are more likely to have life changing insights. We can’t force insights or will them into being, but we can create conditions for clients to be more “accident prone”, that is, open to new and often unexpected insights.

And it is not limited only to the client. As a change worker you can also become more 'accident prone' and gain more fresh insights for yourself during client sessions and in life in general.

It’s about working with intent, framing, ways of listening, and cultivating a state of mind which is prone to insights.

This is not a course about techniques, formats or methods. It’s about how to help your clients and yourself to have more insights.

As a result, practitioners often find they can:

  • Notice earlier when a client is close to insight
  • Stop over-intervening and allow change to unfold more naturally
  • Spot when a client is circling intellectual understanding versus a genuine felt shift
  • Trust silence, timing, and simplicity more in sessions
  • Work with less effort and more clarity

Why Insight?

Because insight is where it’s at. People can change during sessions that emphasise techniques and formats, but for the most part, only if they see something new that connects to felt sense.

Therapists such as Stephen Bacon point to research that demonstrates that specific therapeutic techniques and methods have no inherent value and that simply being a ‘technician’ relying on a particular set of tools and techniques as the basis of providing change and insight is misguided.

This seminar is an opportunity to go from being a technician to being someone who artfully knows how to show up and interact in a way that makes both you and your clients accident prone to insight.

This course is about learning to show up and interact in such a way that both you and your clients are more likely to have fresh insight when working together.

Watch Jørgen Discussing The Workshop

Create the Conditions for Insight: How Change Really Happens

  • Do you ever leave a session thinking, “They understood it… but nothing changed”?
  • Do you sometimes feel you are working very hard for very small shifts?
  • Have you mastered techniques, yet still sense something deeper is missing?

Most therapists and coaches recognise the moment when something genuinely shifts for a client. It is often not when they receive good advice, learn a new strategy, or understand an idea intellectually, but when they see something new for themselves.

This workshop explores insight as the quiet but powerful engine of real change and how you can contribute to creating the conditions for change and helping your clients to become more ‘accident prone’.

Across many approaches to change including psychotherapy, hypnosis, NLP, and insight-based work, there is a recurring pattern. People tend to remain stuck as long as their current thinking looks real to them. When a fresh perspective emerges, behaviour and emotional experience often reorganise naturally and often without effort or force.

Who Should Attend?

This workshop will be of interest if you:

  • Work as a coach, therapist, or change practitioner
  • Notice that clients often “get it” intellectually but remain unchanged
  • Are curious about how insight actually happens
  • Move from being a ‘technician’ to being a ‘weather maker’
  • Want to work with less effort and more clarity
  • Value depth, simplicity, and real-world applicability over technique accumulation
  • Want to help clients get insights more easily and get personal insights in the process

Participants may leave with a clearer understanding of how change really happens, a lighter touch in sessions, and a renewed trust in insight as a natural human capacity rather than something that needs to be manufactured.

Please note that this workshop is not exclusively aimed at people who have studied Jørgen's Psychological Illusion Model (PIM) and is open to all who are involved in helping others (and themselves) gain real deep embodied insight.

Format

The workshop will take place over four 90 minute live online sessions which will include live exercises, demonstrations, experiments and tasks to be done between sessions.

What People Are Saying

"I'm looking forward to studying Jørgen's work again, again, and again. I use his work every day with clients and achieve amazing results. Since starting to work with PIM, I don't advertise anymore; I get all my clients through word of mouth. I will be studying everything thoroughly. I highly recommend anyone working with people to study PIM.”

Peter Jakobsen - Hypnotherapist and Metacognitve Therapist and a PIM-ist

"Anyone serious about leading their clients towards meaningful and lasting change should consider training with Jørgen Rasmussen. And it goes without saying that Pete Dalton is hosting one of the best platforms for change workers through Aether and Alchemy, making it an excellent resource for professionals in the field".

Thomas Wood

“It was Jørgen's books, which I discovered by accident, that sparked my desire to discover more. I signed up for his weekend seminar in search of personal transformation techniques that were different and outside the box, in order to resolve myself and others. But what I discovered was quite extraordinary. My experience was truly life-changing, embodying a knowledge that goes far beyond the intellect.

Jørgen's commitment to this model, which he has created throughout his practice, is evident. The stories he introduces are countless and each one has a real purpose. I recommend this experience in Aether and Alchemy without any hesitation".

About Jørgen Rasmussen

Jørgen has worked professionally as an agent of change for over twenty five years.

He is the author of the books “Provocative Hypnosis” and “Provocative Suggestions” which have been widely acclaimed.

John Grinder (co-creator of NLP) says of his work… “This is the stuff of genius”.

For eight years, Jørgen ran what he describes as an ‘impossibles practice’. Working with those whom all other therapists said, "couldn't be helped".

The Psychological Illusion Model (PIM) is an evolving model.  At this event Jørgen will share his latest thinking about PIM and how he has subsequently refined and simplified his approach over the years, so that it is simpler and more effective and more transferable to other contexts.

Jørgen’s work draws on a number of influences including: hypnosis, NLP, meditation and eastern and western approaches to psychology. He is also an experienced self defence instructor.
