Client: Tony
Title: Finding the Truth Teller
Indicator or core experience: anxiousness, inherited fear
Nourishment: finding the truth teller; having someone else calm the mother
Hakomi skills that are illustrated by this session:
- When a client comes with a specific issue, keep focus on present moment experience
- Contact statements
- Naming an indicator for the client and designing an experiment
- Replacing judgement with curiosity
- Naming the state of mindfulness without using the word “mindfulness”
- Use of non-verbal and verbal experiments
- Use of experiments in the imagination
- Giving the client time and silence to notice and name experience
- Taking over voices of nourishment
- Use of reconsolidation of memory
- Use of humour
Guides to Watching this video:
- Identify the three phases of the session using time tags
- I know this client as a Hakomi student; how do I build relationship with in this session?
- Notice how I introduce an idea for an experiment but something else shows up – how do I follow the client?
- Name the experiments that I use and the resulting data
- Notice what happens when I suggest that we help a part of him hide or find shelter
- “Love was there but the truth was missing” – when Tony says this, it is a transition into the third phase
- At 39min, his memory of his mom arises…notice what I do with that spontaneous memory
