СКАЧАТЬ out the characteristics of what is disturbing the somatopsychotherapist can go in two directions: the questions of so-called second level require more body energy for the implementation of the reaction, because the expected response is uncertain and creative. “Where is your fear?” – “In the belly”. “What does it feel like?” – “A jellyfish.”

      The «first level’ questions are less energy-intensive, and the answers are more predictable. No wonder they are called guiding questions. «Where do you your feel fear: in the head, in the chest, in the stomach, or anywhere else? Is it something big or small, light or dark, heavy or light, dense or soft, or anything else?» You can ask about more details, bringing the questions to the «zero level.» «Does it weigh a hundred grams, two hundred, three hundred, five hundred, a kilo, more, less? Does it feel like gas, liquid, mass, stone, wood, metal, or anything else? Is it an object, a plant, an animal, or anything else?» The series of questions can be continued.

      However, to go «below zero’, i.e. to assert something or to impose one’s intuition, is highly undesirable. Unfortunately, this principle is often violated. (And, of course, always with the best intentions!)

      “A well working patient’

      Being in the “working’ process, a patient begins to understand what is required. The questions become more concise. During one session, already by the third approach (“approach’ means a complete cycle of work; there can be several complete cycles during one session), a well-taught patient can quite “correctly’ answer “simple’ questions. Where are the sensations related to that age? (This refers to the age indicated in the figure in the drawing test). And the patient says, “In the head.”What is there?” – “Dark heavy mass.” That means that the patient does not need specifying “tips’ such as: “Where are the sensations associated with the exact age: in the head, chest, abdomen, or anywhere else? Is it something big, small, light, or dark? What is it made of…?” anymore.

      But even for such an «ideal’ patient some clarifying questions can be appropriate: «Is it in the forehead, in the back of the head, in the crown, or in the temples? How many grams is it? What is its size or volume?»

      Somatopsychotherapy “Debuts”

      Psychotherapy works with disorders. Disorders can be acute or chronic. Usually the patients come to the first appointment to the psychotherapist when chronic disorders have been supplemented with the acute ones and their life has become unbearable. What does the therapists do at the first meetings? They react to the patient’s acute disorders. What does they do next? They respond to the chronic disorders that the patient often does not realize.

      The acute disorder can again occur in the patients when their fate is changing. In general, the probability of meeting an acute state at the beginning of psychotherapeutic contact is higher than in the future.

      Why do I mention this well-known to every therapist fact? Because it is related to the topic of this chapter. At different phases of work with a patient, different ’approaches’ will be preferable, different ’debuts’ will be played.

      From the actual

      The general pattern is as follows: at the beginning of the appointment a patient is so full of different experiences that it is not necessary to look for them, they openly come out and it is easy to work with them. The patients can be quickly turned to talk about what they are experiencing. If they describe their body symptoms, such as ‘a stone in a soul’, it will only be necessary to specify if it is large or small, heavy, or light. If they mention the overloading of their forehead with restless thoughts, you can just ask: how many of them (thoughts) have accumulated there, whether they are large or small, what they are made of in their sensation, etc.

      If the patient has previously conducted internal analytical work and managed to identify their condition, they declare fear, which limits their life, or jealousy, which drives them crazy, or resentment, which they do not know how to survive. It is also quite easy to turn their attention towards the description of the body sensations. «Where is your fear: in the head, in the chest, or in the stomach? Is it big, heavy, or light?». As soon as the first answers arrive, e.g. «My fear in my stomach, and it is big», you should immediately ask clarifying questions, e.g. «How many centimeters is it in diameter?», and thus lead the situation in the direction of identifying the plastic image of the experience, located on one of the levels of the body.

      The usual dynamics of asking questions is as follows. Suppose that the patient complains to the severity in the chest, or finds there the feelings associated with the experience, which they manage to qualify as an offense. It is essential that the chest area is seen as problematic, concentrating all the sensations on itself.

      Without any delay we specify:

      «Is the heaviness in the chest big or small?

      «Big,» the patient answers.

      «How many kilos?» we continue to ask without any hesitation.

      It can hardly be called a traditional way. As we have already mentioned, usually a doctor, after taking note of the symptoms, begins to establish a ‘nosology form’ thinking about the pills to prescribe to mitigate the painful manifestations. A psychologist embarks on a search for the psychological conflict that caused the disorder of the client. A healer immediately determines “the influence of an evil eye’ and starts to remove the ‘damage’. We have already talked about many options for the external use of the patient’s message. SPT also offers to continue asking questions and go into more detail about what has already been said. To make it easier for the patient to concentrate, you can offer them to close their eyes.

      Closing the eyes, the patient responds:

      «Ten kilos.»

      «Ten kilos of what: gas? fluids? mass? wood? metal? stone? anything else? What does that feel like?»

      «Stone.»

      «What type?»

      «Marble.»

      «Shape?»

      «Cube.»

      «Size?»

      «10 × 10 cm.»

      Thus, we receive the initial information.

      Please, note that we find out the characteristics of what is really felt. It is not a representation of something that does not exist.

      So, in acute cases there are no problems with the beginning of the work, because the experience «strikes’ the energy circuit of a person or, rather, the contour of their feelings so much, that neither the patient nor the doctor finds it difficult to identify the «theme’ for work. The locus of experience also does not require long definition. The head «rips apart’ with the concerns, the chest is «pressed by resentment’, the fear «gathers all the power’ in one’s stomach, etc.

      It is not so easy to determine the location of the «threshold’ and «sub-threshold’ experiences. In these cases, some tricks may be needed in order to find them and neutralize. Either it will be a subtle conversation, revealing the «zones of indifference’ of the patient, or something like what I want СКАЧАТЬ
