The client already saw a big door when he reached the garden, big brown wooden door.
T: Open and door and go inside
C: Its dark
T: That’s ok, wait here, everything will become clear in few moments
The client saw his dad (passed away) and himself playing not as a childhood memory but an experience where his dad looked young and picked him in his lap and was pointing out to something and smiling. The client was very happy to enjoy being with his dad.
Post session client told me that he loved spending time with his dad but he could not see what his dad was pointing towards.
After further deepening, the therapist direct the client to walk on the bridge from the garden to find his answers to his phobia.
The client was still 3-4 years old in the garden and walked towards the bridge, the bridge was made of ropes and wooden slats
He was enjoying rocking on the bridge from side to side.
After deepening, client saw himself very very huge like a giant. Felt his head expanding and body expanding. Stayed there for few minutes and wanted to emerge out…
(Probably, the client met his higher self?)
Had to emerge the client out as he had appointments
Session 4:
Session duration: 3 hours
Started with prayer followed by Dave Elman and Progressive Relaxation.
Applied few deepeners.
As you relax and breathe deeply, your subconscious mind is aware that there’s a level even deeper than the one you’re currently experiencing. Allow your subconscious mind to take you that deeper state. Now, as I count from 3 to 1, you may find yourself entering a much more relaxed state, maybe into the garden where you feel safe.
Period of silence:
I am going to give you a few moments to allow yourself to go deeper and deeper.
Nonverbal cues suggested that the client was in a relaxed state.
Guided him to the bridge,
T: Where is your awareness right now?
C: Silent
T: given few moments….
C: I am with my friends
T: What else do you notice?
C: We are 3 friends…we are in a house
T: Whose house is this? What else do you notice?
C: I don’t know whose house, I am 34 years.
T: What’s your name?
C: Tony, my friends are Anthony and David
T: do you recognize any of them in this current lifetime?
C: no
T: What else comes to your awareness?
C: We are drinking beer, laughing and having fun, Anthony leaves to go home and David follows him. This is my house…
T: Are you alone in the house now?
C: yes,
The client becomes uncomfortable, rolling eyes, forehead is stressed
T: Where is your awareness right now?
C: they are putting the house on fire, they want to kill me, they cheated me
T: you are safe! Its all in the past, you can float above the scene, nothing can harm you right now
C: I don’t know the house will get burnt, I am still trying to sleep, Anthony locked the door from outside, I don’t know he locked the door
T: why did Anthony do that?
C: He is jealous of me, I have money, he borrowed money from me, doesn’t want to return, he made a plan with David
T: What comes to your awareness now?
C: It gets hot in the room, I want to get out, its fire everywhere, I am locked in my room. I can’t open the room, its locked, its locked
The client got very anxious, the therapist tried to manage stress
T: You are safe! I am here with you, its all in the past. You can choose to float above the scene or go to the garden
The client wanted to emerge out as he got tired and wanted to use the washroom.
