Yes, I have tried it. The client seemed to enjoy the process but I have no measure to assess it effectiveness by. |

David, interested to know what condition you used it for. To date I've not really found a need but maybe I've missed something ? |

PamSorry, as you may have guess I donot log on to this very often. My client had an issue about selling the house he had grown up in and seen his parent die in. - over 50 years. He was with a long term partner od +10, years and lived in her house but despite debts couldn't bring himself to let go of his house. He wouldn't honestly express what the thought of doing so felt to him. I used regression therapy and GAI. Regression to address the traumas - a life threatening motorcycle accident and his return and long painful convalescence in the house , his mothers protracted death from cancer in the house, caring for his fathers later years and his eventual sudden death in the house etc. Having addressed these issues we moved on the GAI which free him to express hs feelings about selling. Afterwards he was refreshed and energised. We then went back to how he'd feel about selling/ being parted from the house and were able to talk our way through the process of bringing the house into good repair (it needed it badly - part of the way of avoiding putting it up for sale)and putting it on the market. Literally drawing it out and agreeing it in a step by step way with a timeframe against the actions. It all worked very well -the schedule was adhered to and the house is on the market. |
