Читать книгу A Theory and Treatment of Your Personality - Garry Flint - Страница 15

After this experience, I systematically started to teach the subconscious of my patients how to do self-treatment — the internal tapping. I had another patient who had 60 parts that were ready to receive treatment. After treating many parts, I wanted to find out the number of untreated parts remaining, and so I asked the subconscious. To my surprise, what I learned from the subconscious was that she had independently treated nine parts in the preceding weeks. I asked her if she had tried to treat the suicidal parts that I had identified in an earlier session. She said, “Yes.” With further inquiry, the subconscious said that she became frightened when she provided treatment of those parts on her own. By asking leading questions, I discovered the suicidal parts had flooded into the Active Experience and had started to run the body. They presented a serious suicidal threat. The subconscious was “frightened;” in other words, she recognized the danger of suicide. Other parts that became active had difficulty protecting the patient from the intent of the suicidal parts. Since then, I usually try to treat suicidal parts as soon as possible. It is easier to do this now because I have learned a strategy to treat dangerous parts slowly and safely. This strategy removes the possibility of having suicidal thoughts or parts motivated by emotional flooding. It is respectful to all parts of the personality.
