MIND (here we find some kind of connection too obvious to neglect. Allergy,
not wanting to be childless, being childless, could the cat allergy be a
metaphor for subconsciously not wanting to end up like her?)
ASK PERMISSION
MIND (checking what I mean, opening doors)
Now we know that the client developed an allergy during a period in life when
she was in her teens, which makes it a possible traumatic reaction, which
allergies can be. There is an aunt who is childless that she clearly does not
want to end up as. We do a session calming down the reaction of the body by
bringing up cats in hypnosis, getting a small allergic reaction confirming that
the allergy has a mind-factor and applying an amygdala-calming technique
called the Trauma Tapping Technique. From here we move in hypnosis into
creating a parallell life story from being a child, past the abortion, past the
aunt, ending up in the future in a house with a lot of children instead of cats
AND a lot of cats and being in great shape.
The allergy appeared to be gone, we didn’t talk much about the session to
avoid conscious intellectualising (never explain a session or metaphor). A
month later we got an email stating “I am pregnant, I am sure it was our
session. Thank you”.
CONCLUSION
The behaviour compass is something we have developed by comparing
thousands of clients and we have spent a year field testing it. Does this mean
that it is “done” and “perfect”?
Of course not. It means that we may have found a very practical model for
diagnostics and intervention design that allows every existing discipline to
meet in a holistic structure where a dietist can compare data with a
psychiatrist, a hypnotist, a psychologist, a medical doctor, a priest, a guru, a
sceptic, a friend and a scientist. A parent and a child.
