phenomenal my blessed Dr. @preethaprabhakar66
this is what 15-Stage PLRT is about, a right tool in the hands of a capable therapist!
Further to what Dr. @sarandha has shared,
Kudos to you! Offering PLR sessions in local languages is one of the main reasons I started offering these trainings…
First of all, it’s daunting you took up such a challenging case. Clients who are already under psychiatric care require tremendous responsibility, patience and confidence from the therapist. The outcome achieved here is truly heartening, especially seeing Anandan gradually
- regain control over his life,
- and return to employment after six years!
Such transformations remind us why the Masters have entrusted this beautiful science to us.
Anandan, presented with a complex history of debilitating fears and panic attacks that had persisted for nearly six years indicates he might have lost his job because of this emotion that got triggered.
just emotions are age triggered because there is no etiological reason..?
Good identification of the trigger,
following which he developed an overwhelming fear of depth, heights, crowds, bridges, open spaces, forests, loneliness, death and several other situations. (see all these emerged in his PLs) Its noteworthy that his distress was so intense that he depended on alcohol and psychiatric medications simply to function or even face people.
One important thing, you’ve taken a big risk. but in a professional setting when you come to know that the client is under Psychiatric medication, do ask the client to seek permission from their physicians to undergo a hypnotherapy session. And never give any advice regarding medication
With his situation we can imagine the pain 10/10!
As Dr. Saru pointed out, try to identify the effective Dominant sense or representational system was “V- 5/ A- 6/ K- 4” and not what the system says! Remember when K is 3 or more, what takes precedence? And see how the Unconscious actually was expressing in those lines and you have also got it,
- falling
- warmth
- can’t move
- scared
- alone
- blood
- body sensations
…
Trust your experience, use the HM for confirmation on their dominant sense going forward. The system provided score is only a starter.
Hope EMDR was also administered, as you do not need a support figure during this. We disturbed Lord Shiva unnecessarily 
The therapeutic journey progressed gradually over three sessions, beginning with stress management and emotional stabilisation before proceeding into regression. The client revisited a previous lifetime involving
PL1 - bomb blasts,
PL2 separation, loneliness (?)
PL3 fatal accident in a valley,
ultimately identifying the emotional CO into the present life.
Following your dexterous emotional processing and appropriate post-session integration, Anandan has demonstrated significant improvement. At one month, he had resumed work abroad! and described the remaining challenges as manageable, reflecting a remarkable reduction in symptom severity!
What impressed me the most was that you never rushed into regression (you let it all unfold in 4 full fledge sessions!. Instead, you first ensured emotional stability through stress management, breathing, IMR coaching and gradual deepening. In clients presenting with panic disorder and multiple fears, creating psychological safety is often more important than quickly reaching a past life.
Your patience throughout the session is evident.
Excellent Clinical Judgement!
Avoiding staircases and bridges was a thoughtful decision. I particularly appreciated how you avoided visualising 'em considering his presenting fears. That demonstrates excellent calibration to the client’s current emotional state.
A points for your kind consideration
1. Dominant Theme
Although the case lists
Fear of Depth
and
Fear in General
I wonder whether these are actually presenting symptoms rather than the deeper therapeutic theme.
As I read the regression, what repeatedly surfaced was, fear due to loneliness. Remember, the subconscious usually stores one dominant emotional conflict while the conscious mind presents many symptoms. We could have used Pain Levels against each one of the contending themes to arrive at one.
2. More Anchoring please
One beautiful moment occurred here:
“Searching for mother… searching for Anna… I can’t see anybody… I am crying… I am so alone… I am scared.”
This is such a powerful therapeutic doorway. This is what was tormenting him from then to now… The eye of the storm! Rather than moving on quickly, I would probably remain here longer. Anchored the client’s conciseness to this feeling and let it unravel. use SMT, followed by
(see this post for the full form of acronyms used Clinical Abbreviations & Session Notation For The 15-Stage PLRT Protocol )
Using statements such as
“Allow yourself to completely experience that loneliness…”
“Where in your body do you notice that feeling?”
Very often, remaining with the emotion allows the DHI/SCM to naturally guide the next step without the therapist needing to search for another event.
- Explore the CO More Explicitly
Towards the end, I would have liked to hear questions connecting the PLT to the present one.
For example,
“How has this experience influenced Anandan’s present life?”
“What belief did he carry forward?”
“What no longer needs to be carried?”
4. Do be more observant of the following in the next sessions.
- eye movement, even when closed you can see them moving from side to side or fluttering
- changes in body sensations
- changes in breathing
- emotional shift
- client’s new belief after the resolution
as during this time
5. EPE, and SMT please
I was throughly enjoying your session until I read this
Like Dr. @sarandha pointed out, here is the difference between Hypnotherapy and PLRT, what do you think you could have done differently in the context of PLRT here? Do write in the comments below
splendid!
Excellent KMF2C! Just that we could’ve spent more time near the Engram and then turned to CF pattern. Because as of now it look like a distraction which is the last resort to stabilise.
Presupposition would have been much more effective here, we could have asked “How old could you be, KANNAN” (to promote I of IDT)
instead of “take 6 deep breaths” use SMT we’ve already established, as that feels quite superficial.
splendid!
wow! I can imagine how much of an effort you must have put and also given your health condition and the physical exertion you might have gone through.
The most satisfying part of this case is seeing the client reclaim his life.
After years of psychiatric illness, panic attacks, alcohol dependence and unemployment, he is now able to travel abroad for work, face situations that once terrified him and reports significant improvement. Changing one life impacts 22! And I sincerely thank you for reaching out to him and brining about this.
Congratulations once again, Dr. Preetha. Thank you for presenting this beautiful and challenging case. May the Masters continue to guide you in transforming many more lives. 
PS:
It took me more than 2.5 hours to review this case… and hence the delay @preethaprabhakar66
I hope you understand
