The PIT Triangle – Draining Pain, Inflammation and Tension

  • Pain, Inflammation and Tension form three sides of the eternal triangle of persistent pain. All three need to be dealt with and they only exist supported by the story or stories that keep the perceived need for pain going.
  • Pain ALWAYS comes with Tension and Pain & Tension will trigger Inflammation.
  • When in Pain we tense up, this causes blood restriction, which is a good thing at the time of the injury to hold bones in place and also restrict blood loss.
  • Inflammation is the mopping up of debris, using the lymphatic system to get them safely away from the damaged area, this too is a good thing at the time of injury.
  • Pain, Inflammation and Tension are the three sides to the triangle of pain persisting.
  • If we leave any of these 3 elements, they are likely to re-introduce the other two.
  • We drain the Pain, Inflammation and Tension during the seated process, with the command for the unconscious to open their eyes ONLY when all 3 have fully drained away out of their body (as per the Script). We may also add the removal of “discomfort”, when we think that may be advantageous for the client (always do this with BOSS illness clients – explained later).
