De-Creating/Transforming Un-resourceful Parts Pattern

“So just as important as it is to create rich meaning and embody it in our neurology is the converse ability, to identify toxic meaning, suspend them and release them from our bodies.” L. Michael Hall (“Unleashed” p. 88)

Description:

Because our meanings manifest in our neurology or soma (our bodies), we could experience dis-ease in our bodies in different forms like high blood pressure, headache, or chest pain when theses meanings are negative. The negative or toxic meanings we hold in our minds could then create physical ailments. Also, when we have negative frames of mind, these frames could prevent us from applying resourceful positive frames into ourselves.

The purpose of this pattern is to de-create or transform un-resourceful frames of mind to resourceful ones. I came across this pattern for the first time when I was trying to apply positive intention frames that was elicited from my client using the intentionality pattern.  The negative frames that were embodied in her neurology prevented her from applying the positive intentions. So, this pattern could actually be applied as a pattern inside of another pattern when an objection or a dragon (a negative thought or feeling) appears as we are trying to apply positive meanings or frames of mind.

In addition, this pattern could be used in therapy. Because of the fact that we digest meanings into our bodies and when theses meanings are negative then they could create physical ailments. High blood pressure, headache and chest pain are some of the common signs of negative meanings embodied in a human body. For example, one of my clients who I tested this pattern with was having a headache. For her that headache was a representation of problems. After using this pattern the headache was gone. Of course, not all physical ailments could be solved this way, but because meanings are embodied in our soma, in many cases this pattern could have a cure effect.

Distinctions:

• Meanings are embodied in our body
• We need to de-create or transform negative meanings or frames of mind to install positive resourceful frames.
• When you turn negative thoughts or feelings against yourself, physical ailment could arise in different forms.

Caveats:

• The coach or therapist should establish good rapport with the client to run this pattern smoothly with no objection.

Elicitation questions:

• When you apply this resourceful frame of mind, do you have any objections? Does this frame settle well inside you?
• What is it that prevents you from applying the resourceful state to yourself?
• What part of your body feels dis-ease or uncomfortable?

The Pattern:

     1.  Identify an Interference.

As you think of applying a resourceful state to self, does anything (thought or feeling) prevent you from doing so? What is that thing preventing you from applying the resourceful state? Do you feel it in your body? Where in your body?

2.  Examine the interference.

What if you can bring out that thing that is limiting you and examine it from an observer state. How does it look like? (Let the client describe the sub-modalities of it).

3.  Check the ecology. Does this thing or any part of it serve your life?

Is there a positive intention behind this? If so, what?  What does it seek to do for you that’s positive? Can this be transformed? How would you like to transform it so it works for you?

4.  Qualify the part.

What would you like to meta-states this part with to make it more resourceful for you?

Give a menu list according to the context. Menu: esteem, self confidence, courage, power, etc.

5.  Apply

Invite the client to apply the resourceful part to him/ her self. You may notice the semantic reaction when the client do so (Change in his/ her gestures or a relief of pain from the body).

6.  Check if the client can now apply the first resourceful state.

Can you now apply to yourself the first resourceful state or there is still any part of you that is stopping you? If the answer is yes, repeat the steps from 1 to 5 again.

7.  Future pace and apply.
