Face some aspect of experience that you’re avoiding
Use some simple tools if needed
1. Creating a container for people to think about things
It can be hard to sit down for an hour and make progress on something
It is often much easier to do this with another person present, for reasons like:
Dialogue
Sounding board
Maintaining focus
Attunement
2. Face some aspect of experience that you’re avoiding
3. There are simple & powerful tools that can be used
I can blend in techniques like:
Internal Family Systems therapy
Eugene Gendlin’s “Focusing”
Art of Accomplishment’s “VIEW” framework
Often, the meta-move is simply “what feeling are you avoiding right now?”, “what part of your experience are you rejecting?”, and this can be much easier to interface with when someone else is holding space for you
Boom, I think it’s that simple!
I honestly think that this is the 80/20. Create a container, use some simple moves when necessary
