SECT (elicit) SECT  STRESS (elicit if it is a reaction to a life experience) STRESS (Bingo!) TIME TIME (unclear) BODY (check for genetics) BODY MIND (Check for beliefs and identity) 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.
