It is our job as a Therapist to help the unconscious change its mind over the value of keeping the pain it believes is a protective state, and for it to see it as an OLD, REDUNDANT, LINGERING Pain Message that no longer has any value. So, we investigate the possible reasons for why the unconscious keeps running this program. Is it true that the program is needed? What does it think it is protecting them from? Is it actually protecting them from something that is no longer a threat? What does it provide that they wouldn’t get otherwise? We then offer reasons for why the unconscious should let it go and why it is more harmful to keep it than to remove it. If the program was installed with a high emotional charge, we will have to help the client overcome that with a positive and Clear Intent and Emotional Desire that counteracts that initial protective program.
