The Mourning & Disney Strategy

Your life is filled with good moments, imperishable memories, happy encounters that transform it, in a pleasant way. These elements transform your life and somehow, make you evolve. You become, wiser, even more confident about yourself and your abilities.

Your life could be a long, quiet river but unfortunately unpredictable events keep occurring. These events are like small, indelible tasks that unconsciously pollute your mind. Consciously you chase them out of your mind, or you decide to not give importance to them, but you often remain with a feeling of sadness, that it is sometimes quite difficult to explain. Clinical experience shows that this kind of ‘pollution’, these “intrusions”, these “dark clouds” are actually mental images that reduce or block your flow of perception, cognition and emotion. You then, feel that your life is escaping from you, and that you can no longer be understood by the people who love you, and that you do not understand your surroundings, your goals are pushed to the next day, you begin to lose your confidence in yourself.
Before, your life was quite different, but you also start to forget that and you give up. Many of you, in your life are going through difficult times, that you are able to overcome because you find sufficient resources in yourself, but others believe that getting out is impossible, and it is beyond their strength. Some customers perceive change as something totally unrealizable, it would be like breaking a record in a hundred meters. Multiple solutions exist to get out of depression but being able to use a proven and rapidly effective method is helpful for any good therapist. The DAS method or “depression in a space of consciousness” was recently developed by Dr. Lucas Derks, in the Netherlands.

For this method, we ask the patient to situate his feeling, related to depression, his ‘dark spaces’ and his ‘dark images’, in a given space area.

After processing these images, the subject is asked to place them at the center of his attention, so that the patient can reach some pleasant feelings. After several years of study, it was soon discovered that these dark images were the reminiscence of problems that are often difficult to manage, on a daily basis. A questioning then will follow in order to go to the heart of the problem solving.

If you would like to discover the protocol of the DAS method or “depression in a space of consciousness” of Doctor Lucas Derks, we invite you to know more by participating * at the World Congress 2017 in Paris at the Holiday Inn Express Paris – Canal De la Villette, under the theme of Hypno-Culture! September 8, 9 and 10, 2017.

Are your metaphors, still working?

Do you have some trouble when providing new metaphors, when it comes to adapting them to your subject? Are your metaphors, working instantly?

We cannot hide it from ourselves, we are not perfect, and sometimes it is hard for us to establish new effective metaphors. However, this is an important lever to have this skill, for therapists and professional coaches.

It is important to know that, once we give a metaphorical story to our subject, we then have to create the ‘magic’ within the metaphor, in order to reach desired changes. On the other hand, any good practitioner knows that the most radical changes are the not the one that are slow to come, usually they are quick. It is clear the changes come through immediate awareness.

You will learn to ensure yourself that the metaphors given, are effective and ecological for your subject, and they will obviously have a great impact of your subject… You will be able to tell his own story within a different angle and a new perspective, so your subjects will find new meanings and he will mentally reorganize his mind.

If you want to stop unproductive brainstorming and start using effective metaphors, we invite you to the World Congress, in Paris, where you will find the key to metaphorical transformations.

What are the boundaries of therapy? Is it more prevalent in our daily lives, than it actually seems?

When it comes to hypnosis, Richard Bandler and John Grinder used to ask each other: “What is hypnosis? And what it is not?”. Within this set of questions, one might also ask that question “What is therapy? And What it is not?”.

In “Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme” from Molière, Monsieur Jourdain, used to prose without even realising it. What about you? Are you doing therapy, without even realising it?
Sometimes, you are the first to be surprised when you found out that therapy actually works on you, without knowing what the levers were. A word? Or a simple sentence? Would that be enough to trigger a big change within you? It is important to stay close to your patient, to be there with him and to be his best supporter, but it is sometimes important, to know how to step back from your own practice, in order to capture what actually happens. Playing sorcerer’s apprentices can also be a problematic because words have the power of healing metaphors on others.

Come to know more about yourself, how words can relieve, help and heal people, at the World Congress, on the 8th, 9th and 10th of September 2017, in Paris. It is a must-see event!
