your image resource. Focus on your image resource and cross
the event as though it did not concern you. When the event is
finished, all that will remain is a dissociated image and not an
associated one that would harm your subconscious.
You have not to be involved in unpleasant events. With your
image resource, you surf on the events that you do not like!
