I don't disagree that it is possible, I just think that all of what you said
has to be present in the situation.  Not just a sad look and a funny hold
on your arm.  You still have to have some kind of rapport and the person
needs to be present mentally.  I know that at my father's funeral
you could have done a lot of things to me, most of which I would not
have been aware of at all.  Plenty of people hugged me and gave me a pat
on the arm as it were.  I don't remember those feelings being stuck in my arm
though. hehehe

I will avoid the trainer mainly because she has a very negative attitude
about NLP. I would find it difficult to learn from womeone who
didn't like what it was they were teaching.
