Читать книгу A Theory and Treatment of Your Personality - Garry Flint - Страница 36

One intervention that I routinely do is ask the subconscious to tag any parts or painful memories that become active between sessions. In the next session, I systematically treat the tagged parts and memories. Here is an example of how I start treatment of tagged parts and memories at the beginning of a therapy session.

T: Before we talk about your experiences since the last session, let’s get your subconscious working on some issues. Subconscious, are there any parts or tagged parts and memories that want treatment?

Tagging and treating tagged parts and memories are standard interventions.

S: Yes.

T: Please treat those parts slowly, safely and with total respect.

Now the patient and I talk. We review the problems we treated in the last session and identify issues to treat again, record any strange experiences and list new issues.

T: [Later] Are you done treating the tagged parts?

S: Yes.

T: Please do a Massive Change History and everything.

S: Yes.

I ask the subconscious to do a Massive Change History and everything after every intervention. Soon the subconscious may learn to do it without your asking.

T: Subconscious, are there any parts that don’t want treatment?

S: Yes.

T: Subconscious, are there any more parts that don’t want treatment? [Just checking.]

S: Yes.

I problem-solve by resolving the reasons for not wanting treatment and repeat the last question until I get a “No.” Now I can start treating the list of identified issues.
