Thank you so much for your kind words @N_S. Life indeed presents numerous challenges, and your insight on the expectations we place on ourselves resonates deeply.
Thank you so much for your valuable suggestions and guidance @Monesh_Bathre . They have been immensely helpful in refining my therapeutic approach.
So much content and conversation has happened during these sessions. I posed numerous questions and took the initial step of allowing the answers to surface from within him. Unfortunately, due to my limited writing skills, I couldn’t capture everything here .
I inquired about the emotions he experienced in connection with his father, and he expressed using words like ‘painful,’ etc. When I delved further, asking about the lessons he learned to overcome these past painful experiences, he responded, ‘I have to ignore them.’ I attempted different approaches, posing additional questions to encourage him to arrive at the idea of ‘forgiving his father.’ However, he used various terms except that. And Hence I assisted him to think on those terms by directly asking on that.
Through your comments, I see the importance of improving how I phrase questions and choosing words carefully. It’s a valuable lesson for me to use words that won’t unintentionally cause resistance or invoke conscious self.
Grateful to you for your details comments
This story remind me one of LOTUS SUTRA:
Accept the people as they are, everyone have their own level of understanding and mental development. Every soul is different.
True @pushparag.j9019. Thanks for reminding the LOTUS SUTRA .
Thank you for having taken the time to conduct this session and share it with us @Santhi_Akula.
Further to what our @Monesh_Bathre has shared, I felt that this more in lines of a counselling session instead of a PLR one.
What I see happen her is mixing up psychotherapy with PLRT and not being able to arrive at a theme which could have elicited a far memory. Stagewise and process wise is fine but I need to go through a few more of your cases to ascertain resolutions. Thank you.
