"Very good. START OF SESSION. "We will now determine what to address in this session. Generally speaking, what should be addressed is the topic that is uppermost in your mind. Maybe it is something relatively minor that just happened, like an argument with someone. But preferably it is something long term, that has been bugging you on and off for years. "It might be a person you have trouble with, hassles at work, a relationship, some troubling situation or circumstance; maybe a loss like someone died or you got dumped. Maybe an abusive childhood. You should usually go with whatever first flashed into your mind. You are likely to be looking at it right now, what is obvious and staring you in the face. "This is your TOPIC for this session. Look at it in terms of people and places you've known and events that you personally observed, and your reactions to them." ©2008 Paul Adams.

Usually it is quite obvious what should be addressed. Go with what first flashes into your mind, especially if it is some long-term trouble. Don't assume that because it has bothered you for years that nothing can be done about it. Don't assume that at all! Try not to second-guess what flashes to mind. Don't pick something else as a topic because someone said you should address "_______" first. Or only a particular kind of person addresses ______ and you don't want to be like that kind of person. If it came to mind and it's hot, THAT is the topic you should be addressing in the session. |
