Читать книгу A Theory and Treatment of Your Personality - Garry Flint - Страница 43

I wrote the following chapters in a way that may be unusual but will help you understand and use Process Healing. What is unusual in the upcoming chapters is that you will read a conversation between the therapist (you) and the patient’s (your) subconscious. There are several objectives for doing this.

First, I wrote the communication between the therapist and the subconscious in detail to show how Process Healing is done. Some of the description is repetitive; so, as you learn, you will begin to expect what the therapist is going to say. This anticipation will suggest that you are learning this treatment approach and are becoming ready to do Process Healing in a way similar to the way I do it. By the time you finish the book, the interventions used in treatment and problem-solving will easily occur to you.

Second, I wrote the chapters in this way to give a feeling for the flexibility and creativity fostered by this procedure. I have included many examples of problem-solving while treating many unusually complex issues. I hope my example of fumbling around while problem-solving will help you be flexible and creative.

Third, the repetition will also give you a feeling for the chaos process in the brain without talking about chaos theory. This is important to help you learn how to problem-solve when you find a complex process. Problem-Solving with this theory involves a conceptual shift (see Appendix IV). The repetition will help you make the transition from your present view of behavior change to one involving the functions of the brain and memories. When you grasp the concepts of the theory, this knowledge will allow you to be intuitive with the theory to help you solve complex treatment barriers.

Finally, this book is a self-treatment book. I wrote this book in a way that makes it easy for you to do Process Healing on yourself. You won’t have to figure out how to do it. In a sense, it is self-treatment in a script format. By just reading Chapter 3, your subconscious will usually learn the treatment process. The remaining chapters will enrich your skills or give therapists tools for complex patients. I give the interventions in a linear style that will help you fine-tune your own personality. Even if the method doesn’t work for you, you can use it to work with other people.

It is my belief that there is no danger in reading this book. If you have mental issues that could be disturbed by this text, your subconscious and other parts of your personality will probably prevent any adverse reactions. However, some people could be triggered by the content of this book. For people who know when they are being triggered and have tools and techniques to handle the emotional flooding, there is no danger. But for people who may be triggered and have no clue as to what is happening or why, there is a danger of being overwhelmed. If you find yourself overwhelmed, seek professional support from a therapist familiar with dissociative processes who can help you on your healing journey.

Chapter 3 gives all the information for teaching the Process Healing Method to yourself or others. The strategy and interventions for clearing or treating barriers are listed. When you follow the directions, you will usually teach your subconscious the treatment method. Then you will have the opportunity to experiment with the treatment process.
