Читать книгу A Theory and Treatment of Your Personality - Garry Flint - Страница 27

Treating pain can cause problems. After several years of being creative, with many ploys to safely treat massive pain associated with parts, I found a simple solution. This simple, easy treatment strategy works safely and, in most cases, painlessly, to treat the trauma memories of amnesic and dissociative parts as well as other trauma memories — even those with extreme pain. The subconscious orchestrates the treatment process and the trauma part cooperates by following directions. Treating extreme pain is done with a fixed rate of treatment. For example, if the Main Personality can just barely feel 100 units of pain, then the subconscious can treat five or fewer units of pain in each treatment. Then, the Main Personality would not feel any pain during the treatment. The subconscious can adjust the amount of pain treated (the treatment rate) in the treatment plan for each part until no parts on the Treatment Team are fearful. Planning treatment in this way both prevents the flooding of emotions by the trauma part being treated and the triggering and flooding of any other part into the Active Experience. All parts will be safe and usually feel no pain. However, one more precaution must be taken.

Since activating five units of pain destabilizes the trauma part, successive treatments could increasingly destabilize the part and cause flooding of emotions into the Active Experience. A destabilized trauma memory is like a word on the tip of your tongue — it’s ready to flood and become conscious. With a word on the tip of your tongue, you look for triggers to get the memory of the word to flood into your thoughts. With trauma memories, we look for ways to prevent the flooding. To prevent gradual destabilizing of trauma memories and eventual flooding, a planned rest period between each treatment allows the trauma part to relax or rest until it is stable before the next treatment. The rest period is adjustable and is in the treatment plan. This strategy using the treat-rest-treat-rest-treat-rest pattern effectively ensures the trauma part will not destabilize and flood emotions into the Active Experience during the treatment process.
