Читать книгу A Theory and Treatment of Your Personality - Garry Flint - Страница 16

One of the most helpful qualities of the subconscious is that it is not subject to damage by trauma and physical sensations. The subconscious can accurately see life history and help diagnose and treat traumatic issues. However, I managed to damage a patient’s subconscious. (This damage was easy to repair, as you will see.) I caused the damage by having the subconscious step into her body experience and converse with me directly. I wanted to expand my understanding of the internal processes and thought that direct communication with the subconscious using spoken language would promote this goal. The subconscious was able to do this, and in one session we conversed readily.

In a later session, I noticed the subconscious was not as effective in identifying and treating issues as she had been previously. Using leading questions, I discovered that the subconscious process, while in the Active Experience, had associated with physical sensations. The physical sensations created barriers to “seeing” internal history and was restricting her view of the inner dynamics and her control of internal processes. I corrected this mistake by having the subconscious look through the patient’s eyes while I did eye movement processing. After treatment, the subconscious again became very effective in identifying and treating issues. Since this experience, I believe that it is inappropriate and even harmful to ask the subconscious to run the body and communicate with spoken words. Covert communication seems to cause no problems.
