Читать книгу A Theory and Treatment of Your Personality - Garry Flint - Страница 45

The reason Process Healing is so respectful is that the entire personality learns to want treatment in a way that gives respect to all aspects of your personality. Having all aspects on the internal Treatment Team reduces problems in the treatment process. This is accomplished by requiring all Treatment Team members to work in consensus, to want treatment, to want their good coping skills strengthened with positive emotions, and to want to join with the Main Personality. Eventually, after removing all barriers to joining the Treatment Team, all aspects will join the Main Personality and give you permission to teach the subconscious the treatment process. With permission from all aspects, you will read a short metaphor that teaches your subconscious how to treat painful issues.

Of course, you can jump ahead and read the treatment metaphor. However, if there are any aspects in your personality that are fragile or angry, then without the information you skipped, these aspects may become upset. An upset aspect can stop communication or the treatment process. Commit yourself to reading this chapter as it is written and postpone learning the treatment process until you have permission from all aspects on the Treatment Team. By simply following instructions, you will know when you have permission to teach the subconscious the treatment process. If you do jump ahead and find that the treatment process or communication with the subconscious does not work, don’t worry; you can reread the sections you skipped. Then, problem-solve to find and resolve any barriers. As you can see, skipping ahead upsets the logical order and can cause problems.

The 10 sections in this chapter are referred to in the numbered boxes in the flow diagram. In each section, corresponding to a numbered box, are suggestions about what you can say to the patient. Samples of dialogue in the first eight sections gives examples of the steps in the Education Process. The last two sections of this chapter give detailed descriptions of the first interventions routinely carried out in the treatment process and of the means for dealing with barriers occasionally found in treatment. The dialogue between the therapist and the subconscious is printed in bold type. Recall the example at the end of Chapter 2 that presents the Education Process and treatment interventions to a patient. When you read the example again, you will notice that I take many shortcuts in teaching the Process Healing Method to my patients. After you complete this chapter and use it with other people, you will gradually adapt my suggestions into a presentation that is comfortable for you.
