1. Recall an experience that still causes you sadness or distress. As you remember it, make sure you are reexperiencing it as if it were happening right now. See everything through your own eyes, feel all the feelings - including the associated emotions - through your own body. Pay particular attention to any sound; ths migh include anything that was said by you or any other significant participants in the original scenario. It may also include your own self-talk. Make a mental note of the degree to which the memory still causes you pain.
2. Now pretend or imagine you can step back out of the experience so you can see yourself there, as if on a screen. Push the entire scene away from you, further and further, noticing, as it moves into the distance, how the colors begin to leach away and the detail diminishes. Push it as far away as you need to push it to notice a distinct difference in the way you feel about the events.
Note: Unless you particular wish to have the discomfort back you can leave the experience where it is, or even imagine it spinning away from you like wheel or disc, where you can spin it away into space and have it explode in the sun!

ReplyDeleteFrom "Recall an experience" to "have it explode in the sun" this is a word-for-word copy of a page of Richard Bandler's book, "Guide to Transe-formation". You should attribute it!
