And shouldn't the results be permanent after 6 months?

The results are permanent to the degree that they become self perpetuating after any given period of time. The conscious is influencing your subconscious to make changes according to how your subconscious naturally builds its "operating system" from all the most frequently experienced stimuli in your life. The outer world then adjusts to match the inner. But it takes time, and the stimuli are not static: if you normally hear that you are stupid 10 times a day, then over time, the sub telling you otherwise will be overridden if you stop using it, or unless and until you internalize the reverse and begin generating a new reality in which you are no longer receiving that stimulus externally, and/or are now strong enough to reject it instead of accept it.
