Summary of the Dial Method

  • The client allows the unconscious to dial down the pain.
  • With the eyes closed, use an imaginary dial or alternatively pull back a lever.
  • Once it stops turning, it can be asked by them for a further reduction, but not forcefully.
  • Thank the unconscious and set it so that number is the maximum it can be.
  • Leave it open to carrying out further reductions to zero when safe to do so.
  • ONCE ONLY, Do NOT repeat dialling, it will result in the pain returning later.
  • NEVER DO ROUNDS of dialling down, they are aggressive and have no place in OldPain2Go®.

•          Have the client accept that the result the unconscious gives is the best currently available.
