The symptoms of our body tell us a lot, give us a hint that something is going wrong in our life, we need to pay attention, figure it out! I would like to describe a fragment of work with a client, let’s call her Lena, permission for publication has been received. Lena has been tormented by pain in her right side for a long time, sometimes aching, sometimes sharp, and the client has practically stopped paying attention to it and has gotten used to it. But when she went to the doctor for another reason, the doctor recommended that she go to the hospital. And only then did we start working with this symptom. When the method of emotional-imaginative therapy began to work with the symptom, an image emerged of a knife with which the client stabbed herself in the right side, thus attracting attention to herself - the client, as if punishing herself (auto-aggression). When Lena entered the image of the knife, it turned out that the handle was her mother’s introject, which carries the information that “life is very hard,” “fear of life itself,” carrying the message “don’t live.” The blade itself is my father’s introject, which consists of fears, doubts and defenses from the world. And Lena, as a child, agreed to accept these introjects, out of pity for her parents, taking responsibility for the happiness of her parents in order to receive love from them in return (all this happens unconsciously). When we started working with parental introjects, grandfather’s introject also came out, which carried the message that Lena “should support dad, this is what she needs.” And then the client had an insight, she realized that by valuing HER LIFE, SHE WILL PROVE TO HER PARENTS THAT SHE IS VALUABLE. When she realized the scenario of her life, how Lena herself was going down the path of self-destruction, just to prove her worth to her parents! To say that Lena was shocked by this discovery is an understatement! What did we do at work? We found our inner loving parent (it was quite difficult), and then we returned the introjects to our parents and grandfather! And Lena’s inner child was filled with vitality and energy, he wanted to live and develop. He changed his decision from “don’t live” to life, to his development and to expressing himself in accordance with his natural nature. At the end of the work, Lena felt self-sufficient, calm, whole, valuable and filled with love. And what is typical - the pain went away. Lena underwent the necessary examination and treatment; there was no need to go to the hospital. Make an appointment by phone. +7(918)66-555-84, in person and online
