A Theory and Treatment of Your Personality. Garry Flint

[Guessing] Is this part a wee little baby part that is afraid he (or she) won’t get an equal vote on the Treatment Team?
S: Yes.
T: Well, all the parts on the Treatment Team have agreed to give all parts, even you, an equal vote. Would you be willing to join the Treatment Team?
S: Yes.
T: Thank you. Do all the members of the Treatment Team want me to teach the subconscious the treatment process?
S: Yes.
T: You mean there are no parts that have an objection to my teaching the treatment process to the subconscious?
S: Yes.
Note: Before reading the following metaphor that teaches the treatment process, check with your subconscious. See if it is OK to read the treatment metaphor and that it will not be disrespectful to any aspect of your personality.
T: [Quickly say or read the metaphor before any new parts wake up.] [You will learn two metaphors for teaching the treatment in Chapters 3 and 4. To read it here would be disrespectful to some aspects or parts in your personality.] Subconscious, do you understand the metaphor?
S: Yes.
Here I can point out helpful healing fields, Therapeutic Touch, the brainstem, the pineal gland and the heart field. Sometimes I make these connections to support the subconscious later during the session.
T: Can you think of a phobia on which we can try the treatment process? [A belief or trauma memory also works, or a part that “wants treatment now.”]
P: I am afraid of public speaking.
T: Subconscious, is this phobia a good practice phobia to try out the treatment process?
S: Yes.
T: OK, imagine preparing well and speaking to 100 people. On a scale of zero to 10, where 10 represents being terrified, how high is your fear or anxiety?
P: Oh, it’s about eight.
T: Focus on your image of public speaking so you feel the fears and ask the subconscious to treat your public speaking anxiety. [Wait] Do you feel the anxiety going down?
P: Yes.
T: [Wait] Subconscious, have you finished treating this phobia?
S: No.
T: Do you feel the treatment process in your head?
P: Yes, it feels like the back of my head is warm.
T: Different issues can cause different feelings. Is it still processing?
P: Yes.
T: [Wait] Subconscious, are you finished?
S: Yes.
T: About what level do you feel now when you think of talking to some people?
P: It’s about a two.
T: That is about right. You need some anxiety to do your best. Some fear may remain for motivation or to focus your attention, as with a height phobia. Subconscious, can you create a treatment plan for all members of the Treatment Team?
S: No.
T: Did another part awaken?
S: [No response.]
T: Does this part want more satisfaction and less pain?
S: Yes.
T: Would you be willing to talk to the subconscious to get all your questions answered?
S: Yes.
T: Thank you. [Wait about 5 seconds.] Subconscious, did this part join the Treatment Team?
S: No.
T: Does this part want treatment now?
S: Yes.
T: Subconscious, will treating this part be politically OK with the others?
S: Yes.
T: Subconscious, please treat this part. [Wait] Subconscious, are you done?
S: Yes.
T: Subconscious, can you do a Massive Change History and everything?
The Massive Change History is an intervention that treats trauma emotions that are reused with memories created after the original trauma. [See Chapter 4-18 for the definition of “everything.”]
S: Yes.
T: Subconscious, can you create a treatment plan for all members of the Treatment Team?
S: Yes.
T: [Wait] This treatment process is hard to believe, isn’t it? What do you think?
P/T: [Engage in a conversation.]
T: Subconscious, are you done creating treatment plans?
S: Yes. The following example is an intervention, you will learn, that removes barriers that stop the subconscious from doing independent and automatic treatment.
T: Subconscious, will you do the “Change History” of all memories in Memory III associated with getting treatment, then treat the Predispositions that respond to active negative memories, and look for any belief barriers that would obstruct independent and automatic treatment.
S: Yes.
Examples — using Process Healing:
Here are examples of the strategies I use at various stages of therapy and of the treatment of several common issues that we all might have.
1. Starting a session
Here are the questions I usually ask my patients at the beginning of each session.
T: How did it go?
T: Do you notice any beliefs, intrusions, anger, or emotions in the last week that we should address today?
T: Did you have any dreams or unusual experiences in the last few days?
T: Did you notice any of these issues . . . [Refer to previous session notes.] . . . that we treated in the last session?
T: Are there any new issues you want to talk about?
T: Do you want to talk about anything in particular?
When they do want to talk, I suggest that we get the subconscious working before talking.
2. Treating tagged parts
One intervention that I routinely do is ask the subconscious to tag any parts or painful memories that become active between sessions. In the next session, I systematically treat the tagged parts and memories. Here is an example of how I start treatment of tagged parts and memories at the beginning of a therapy session.
T: Before we talk about your experiences since the last session, let’s get your subconscious working on some issues. Subconscious, are there any parts or tagged parts and memories that want treatment?
Tagging and treating tagged parts and memories are standard interventions.
S: Yes.
T: Please treat those parts slowly, safely and with total respect.
Now the patient and I talk. We review the problems we treated in the last session and identify issues to treat again, record any strange experiences and list new issues.
T: [Later] Are you done treating the tagged parts?
S: Yes.
T: Please do a Massive Change History and everything.
S: Yes.
