From Stuck to Unstuck: The Enter the Loop Method

Hey Future Looper!

Ever wonder what actually happens in an Enter the Loop session?

Not just the surface stuff – but the real, nitty-gritty, behind-the-scenes magic?

(And no, it's not 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. Could be anything:

• Career decisions

• Relationship challenges

• Personal growth

• Life transitions

• That feeling of "something's not right"

Sound familiar?

The Traditional Approach vs. The Loop

Here's what typically happens in most coaching/therapy sessions:

1. Client explains problem

2. Practitioner diagnoses issue

3. Technique gets applied

4. Change is pushed for

5. Results are... mixed

But Enter the Loop is different.

Here's why:

The First Five Minutes

The moment your client walks in (or logs on), something interesting starts happening.

They're not just telling you their problem...

They're showing you how to solve it.

Remember what we learned about unconscious signals? They're already there, right from the start:

• How they describe the issue

• Where they look while talking

• What their hands are doing

• When they pause

• How they breathe

Every single one of these is a doorway to transformation.

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

This is where our core framework comes in:

1. Listen - But not just to words

2. Observe - Those unconscious signals

3. Repeat - Their exact language

4. Relate - Connect what you notice

5. Ask - Get curious about what emerges

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

The Magic Moment

Here's where it gets really interesting.

At some point in this process, there's often a moment where the client:

• Slows down

• Gets quieter

• Looks away

• Shifts slightly

• Says something that seems "random"

This is your cue.

Not to push. Not to interpret. Not to "help."

But to get really curious.

The Dance

What happens next is like a 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

Let me share something that happened just last week:

A client was talking about feeling "trapped" in their job. Every time they mentioned it, their hands would make this subtle pushing motion.

Instead of interpreting this, I simply asked:

"What else do you notice about that?"

They got quiet for a moment, then:

"It's funny... I keep pushing away, but I've never actually tried walking away..."

BOOM.

That insight came from them, not me.

Why It Works

The Enter the Loop method works because it:

1. Honors the client's natural process

2. Follows rather than leads

3. Trusts in natural transformation

4. Creates space for insight

5. Allows real change to emerge

Your Turn

Want to try this approach?

Start simple:

1. Notice more

2. Say less

3. Get curious

4. Trust the process

5. Follow what emerges

It really is that simple.

(Though it might take some practice to trust that simplicity!)

What's Next?

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

But for now, try this: 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 might be feeling to "doing less"? That's exactly where your growth edge is... I see you! 😉)
