One important point for stage 8 is to have a specific theme. For example, when there are multiple issues in a theme such as “headaches, Financial Insecurity, Epilepsy (in that order).” it is difficult for us to have trigger phrases.
Hence we should focus on zeroing down to one specific issue, for example, in this case, it could be financial insecurity.
Think of the subconscious mind to be a cab driver, if we bombard him with too many instructions, he will get confused, but if we give a specific destination he would just drive us there without any doubts. Remember the subconscious mind is literal and depends on the conscious mind for the implied meaning. So, in this case, I would also look at piles if it is a symptom of financial insecurity.
My humble experience has shown the theme generally distils down to fear of ___, sadness or anger at ____.
Very true Venu. I have also experienced this during my session. If we are not clear about the theme, the client goes to experience things that are irrelevant. Very important to spend time on zeroing on the theme.
@venu yes Sir, in my HO- theme is like compass, it’s tells the subconscious where to go and what to reveal, instead of wandering off, it ensures the smooth flow and serves the purpose. Session might still progress without a precise theme but it won’t produce a clear outcome. Been there dealt with it and regretted
Very rightly said .With proper case history and filtering relevant informations during this step, we can zero in to a short, precise and specific theme . Moreover, if we do both these steps correctly then half of our job is done as a therapist.
@venu Sir, thank you knowing that you are always there to guide, gives me strength and reassurance . I did learn and I will try to do better going forward. Always grateful for your unwavering support
