A Question of Permissiveness

Good morning! Since we have begun talking about permissive hypnosis, you can probably guess that is where today's question is headed. Or perhaps I should say today's contemplation is headed in a direction of how we prefer to intake or direct suggestions. Michael and the Subconscious Mind commented their thoughts on the subject a few days ago. Have you?

So here is the question:

When working on self-change or helping others with their desired changes, do you find you do better with a permissive or authoritarian style?
