See all changes

What do I need now?

Test, “Reveal what I need...”

Toxic people

Test, “Reveal what I need to look at...”

This is about traits from ‘Cluster B’ personality disorders, such as the Antisocial (a “psychopath” or “sociopath” who has no empathy for others), Borderline (emotionally unstable and insecure), Histrionic (attention seeking), and Narcissistic (having a high opinion of oneself and belittling others via insults and control). Anyone can show these traits from time to time without actually having one of these disorders, and they also exist on a spectrum of mild to severe.

Their effects upon me

Being around toxic people can have devastating affects upon you. Here is a small selection of these effects.

Test, “Reveal what they make me feel...”

Your interpretation

What do the chosen options mean to you? Test if unsure. Type it below:

Their traits/actions

Test, “Reveal which traits or actions...”

Your interpretation

What is significant about these options in your situation? Test if unsure. Type it below:

Defences against them

Sometimes you must interact with toxic people and cannot, for whatever reason, cut them off entirely. Use this list to see what defences your body would like against them and also to rewire any stress surrounding the use of these strategies. Note that your body cannot predict the future, so these strategies may not always work for you.

Test, “Reveal which defence...”

Your interpretation

What do the chosen options mean to you? Test if unsure. Type it below:

Antidotes to them

Antidotes are the positive human interactions that counteract the poisonous interactions that you may have had with toxic people. Here you will identify which one(s) you need, and then imagine receiving it (or them).

Test, “Reveal which antidote...”

Imagine it!

Close your eyes and imagine receiving the “antidote(s)”. You can imagine them coming from anyone you wish, a real person, an imaginary person, or even from yourself. Test if unsure. When done, take a deep breath.

Your interpretation

What do the chosen options mean to you? Test if unsure. Type it below:

Look at my past (1 of 2)

Look at an age to examine what you felt, thought, and experienced then. Changing how you feel about your past will change how you feel in the present. Note that the age your body chooses is often approximate.

Test, ”Reveal the age I need to look at...”

Look at my past (2 of 2)

Find the age

Test while counting backwards (to age 20) until your body reveals the right age.
Type the age in the box below:

Look at my past (2 of 2)

Test, “Reveal which age...”

Look at my past (2 of 2)

Test, “Reveal which age...”

Test, “Reveal what I need to do...”

Replace this age

You can replace the entire age, or something you felt or experienced at this age, with something you want instead.

What do you want to replace?

Think what would you like to replace from this age. Everything? Or something specific?
Test, “Reveal if this is correct: Yes, No, Maybe.” If correct, type it below:

What do you want instead?

Think what you want instead (a different situation, a picture, a colour, a symbol, or anything).
Test, “Reveal if this is correct: Yes, No, Maybe.” If correct, type it below:

Close your eyes and imagine making the replacement. When done, open your eyes and take a deep breath.
Test, “Reveal if that’s enough: Yes, No, Maybe.” If not, imagine it some more.

Keep it?

Test, “Reveal if I need to keep this somewhere?: Yes, No, Maybe.”
If you do, think where, and test, “Reveal if this is the correct place: Yes, No, Maybe.”
If it is, close your eyes and imagine putting it there; then open your eyes and take a deep breath.

Done with age

Welcome back

From this point, you are looking at the present-day again.

Look at someone (1 of 2)

We “pick up” or “inherit” traits, feelings, and beliefs from others, especially from our parents. Sometimes these things make our issues worse. Rewire these influences to be free of their influence.

Male, female, or both?

Test, “Reveal who I need to look at...”

Look at someone (2 of 2)

Who is it?

Test, Reveal the male I need to look at...”

If “Other male(s)”, think who, and ask your body if that is correct.

If a grandpa, think which one (including step-parents) then test to see if it’s him.

Type what you call him/them:

Look at someone (2 of 2)

Who is it?

Test, “Reveal the female I need to look at...”

If “Other female(s)”, think who, and ask your body if that is correct.

If a grandma, think which one (include step-parents), then test to see if it’s her.

You can replace the person(s) with someone else, or replace whatever you got from the person(s) with something you want instead.

What do you want to replace?

Think what you got from the person(s) that you would like to replace. Everything? Or something specific?
Test, “Reveal if this is correct: Yes, No, Maybe.” If correct, type it below:

What do you want instead?

Think what you want instead (a different situation, a picture, a colour, a symbol, or anything).
Test, “Reveal if this is correct: Yes, No, Maybe.” If correct, type it below:

Close your eyes and imagine making the replacement. Then open your eyes and take a deep breath.
Test, “Reveal if that’s enough: Yes, No, Maybe.” If not, imagine it some more.

Remember this replacement?

Test, “Reveal if I need to keep a memory of this replacement?: Yes, No, Maybe.” The memory can be in your head, or a photograph, or a drawing, or something like that.
If you do, think where, and test, “Reveal if this is the correct place: Yes, No, Maybe.”
If it is, close your eyes and imagine putting it there; then open your eyes and take a deep breath.

Done with person(s)

Looking at you again

From this point, you are looking at yourself again.

Sensory techniques

Test, “Reveal what I need to do...”

Here we use sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. For example, if your feeling was a colour, what would it be, and what would you change it to if you could choose? (“Change a sense”) Or, if your feeling was a colour, what would it be, and what does that reveal about how you feel? (“Interpret a sense”)

Change a sense

What feeling?

Think, what are you considering? Your issue in general, something already mentioned, or something else?
Test, “Reveal if this is correct: Yes, No, Maybe.” If correct, type it:

The feeling is...

Think, if your feeling was a type of the sense above, what would it be?
Test, “Reveal if this is correct: Yes, No, Maybe.” If correct, type it:

Change it

Let’s change the sense to one you want instead. The feeling is the same, but you are now choosing the colour/pattern/light/whatever that represents it. Think what you want it to be.
Test, “Reveal if this is what I want it to be: Yes, No, Maybe.” If it is, type it:

Close your eyes and imagine the first sense being replaced with the second one.
Open your eyes and take a deep breath.

Physical techniques

Test, “Reveal which...”

These six techniques are designed to change your feelings through your physical body. They work by disrupting or muddling your normal way of thinking and feeling, helping you to ‘snap out’ of your current thinking pattern, so you can consider new possibilities.

Move my eyes

Repeatedly moving your eyes in a pattern while thinking of a feeling or issue helps to shake up a fixed way of thinking. It helps the mind break out of a set mindset and move on.

What to think about?

Think what you need to keep in mind. Is it your issue in general, something that’s already come up, or something else?
Test, “Reveal if that’s it: Yes, No, Maybe.” If it is, type it below:

Direction?

Test, “Reveal which eye movement I need: up/down, left/right, in circles, or any.”

Move your eyes

Repeatedly do the eye movements while thinking of the above. Use your fingers to guide your eyes if necessary. Do it until it feels difficult to keep the thought in mind.
Had enough? Test, “Reveal if that’s enough: Yes, No, Maybe.” If not, do it a little more; if yes, take a deep breath.

Move my body

Repeatedly moving your arms or legs while thinking of a feeling or issue helps to shake up a fixed way of thinking. It helps the mind break out of a set mindset and move on.

What to think about?

Think, what do you need to keep in mind during this technique? Is it your issue in general, something revealed earlier, or something more specific?
Test, “Reveal if that’s it: Yes, No, Maybe.” If not, try again. If yes, type it below:

Move what?

Test, “Reveal which area of my body to move: Upper body, Lower body.”
Then keep testing to find out exactly what to move. For example, if your body chose ‘Lower body’, you can test for your feet or legs. Then test which direction to move them in, such as forward and back, side-to-side, or in circles. When located, type it below:

Move

Repeatedly do the movement while thinking of the issue. Do it until it’s difficult to keep the thought in mind.
Had enough? Test, “Reveal if that’s enough: Yes, No, Maybe.” If not, do it a little more; if yes, take a deep breath.

Tap my skin

Repeatedly tapping your skin while thinking of a feeling or issue helps to shake up a fixed way of thinking. It helps the mind break out of a set mindset and move on.

What to think about?

Think, what do you need to think about? Is it your issue in general, something revealed earlier, or something more specific?
Test, “Reveal if that’s it: Yes, No, Maybe.” If not, try again. If yes, type it below:

Tap where?

Test, “Reveal which area of my body to tap: Upper body, Lower body.”
Then keep testing to find out exactly what to move. For example, if the answer was “Upper body”, you can test for your face, shoulders, chest, or arms. When located, type it below:

Start tapping

Repeatedly tap on the area while thinking of the issue. Do it until it’s difficult to keep the thought in mind.
Had enough? Test, “Reveal if that’s enough: Yes, No, Maybe.” If not, do it a little more; if yes, take a deep breath.

Look at a flashing light

Do not use this technique if you, or anyone who may see your screen, has epilepsy.

Looking at a flashing light while trying to keep in mind a feeling or issue, has been shown to shake up a fixed way of thinking, possibly distracting your mind from having a fixed thought.

What to think about?

Think, what do you need to think about while watching the flashing light? Is it your issue in general, or something revealed in the session, or something else?
Test, “Reveal if that’s it: Yes, No, Maybe.” If not, try again. If yes, type it below:

Test, “Reveal which colour...”.

Test, “Reveal which speed...”.

Constant (no flashing)
Slow (x1 flash per second)
Medium (x2 flashes per second)
Fast (x3 flashes per second)

Click the button below to watch the flashing light. Watch it while thinking of the above, until you can’t keep it in mind easily.

Test, “Reveal if that’s enough: Yes, No, Maybe”. If not, watch more. If yes, take a deep breath.

Change my body language

Your body language expresses how you feel. By changing it to what you want, you can show your brain how you want to feel. It can break a vicious-circle, or habit of feeling. Body language includes your facial expression and any gestures you make with your hands.

What to think about?

Think, what do you need to think about while performing this technique? Is it your issue in general, or something revealed in the session, or something else?
Test, “Reveal if that’s it: Yes, No, Maybe.” If not, try again. If yes, type it below:

How do you feel?

While thinking of your issue, make a body language pose that represents how you feel (include facial expression and gestures, if appropriate).
Think, what does this body language reveal about how you feel? Do you look open, defensive, scared-looking, confident, timid, arrogant, sad, or something else? Use a mirror if necessary.
When you’ve thought of something, test, “Reveal if that’s right: Yes, No, Maybe.” If no, try again. If yes, type it below:

How do you want to feel?

Think, what body language (including facial expression and gestures) would you like to have instead, when thinking of your issue?
When you’ve thought of something, test, “Reveal if that’s right: Yes, No, Maybe.” If no, try again. If yes, type it below:

Practice it

Practice your chosen body language pose for a few moments while thinking of your issue.
Test, “Reveal if I need to practice it again: Yes, No, Maybe.” If yes, practice it again.

Reassure myself

This is an opportunity to pause and reflect, to calm yourself, to say soothing words to yourself, and get some reassurance. It’s very useful if this part of your session is too stressful. It can also help you to understand what you’re experiencing, or to tell yourself what you need to hear.

Anything to say?

Think, do you need to say any reassuring words to yourself (if you are currently looking at a past age, it may be what you need to say to yourself at that age)?
If you have something, test, “Reveal if this is correct? Yes, No, Maybe.” If correct, type it:

Wrap your arms around yourself

Hold yourself by wrapping your arms around yourself, like you’re hugging yourself.
Close your eyes (say whatever you need to yourself) and take as long as you need. When done, open your eyes and take a deep breath.

Visual techniques

Test, “Reveal which...”

These five techniques use your imagination to see pictures or moving images. By representing your feelings as pictures and then changing how they are presented, you can see things differently and feel differently about things.

Recover a book (1 of 3)

You’re going to imagine that you have a book describing in perfect detail how you feel. Then you will imagine what the cover looks like. Finally, you’ll choose a new cover for that book. Changing the colours, smells, patterns, etc. on the book helps your brain to look at the contents of the book (how you feel) in a new way, helping to snap your mind out of it’s set ways.

What’s the book title?

Imagine you can see a book all about how you feel. Think, what is the book title?
When you’ve thought of something, test, “Reveal if this is correct: Yes, No, Maybe.” If not, think of another title. If yes, type it below:

Recover a book (2 of 3)

You chose...

Title: “[[booktitle]]”

What’s the cover look like?

Think, what do you imagine the cover looks like? (this is not what you want it to look like, but what it just does look like)
- What are its colours, patterns?
- Is it hardback or paperback?
- How heavy is it?
- How strong is it?
- What does it smells like?

Type a brief description:

Recover a book (3 of 3)

You chose...

Title: “[[booktitle]]”

Cover: “[[bookcover]]”

What cover do I want instead?

The cover has been removed.
Think, what cover do you want instead? Do you want a new title?
- What are its colours, patterns?
- Is it hardback or paperback?
- How heavy is it?
- How strong is it?
- What does it smells like?
- If you want a new title, what is it?

Type a brief description:

Close your eyes and imagine the updated book. Then take a deep breath.

Keep it?

Test, “Reveal if I need to keep this book: Yes, No, Maybe.” If yes, pick a place, close your eyes, and imagine putting it there; then open your eyes again and take another deep breath.

Reframe a picture (1 of 3)

You’re going to imagine a picture representing the feeling or situation you’re considering. Then you will imagine what frame would go around it. Finally, you’ll choose a new frame. Changing the shape, design, colours, etc. of the frame helps your brain to look at the picture within (how you feel) in a new way, helping to snap your mind out of it’s set ways.

First, imagine your picture

Think, what is the picture of?
When you have an idea, test, “Reveal if that’s correct: Yes, No, Maybe.” If correct, type it below:

Reframe a picture (2 of 3)

What’s the frame?

Think, what frame suits the picture?
- What’s its colour? Is it patterned? Is it big or small?
- If you pick it up, is it heavy? Is it fragile? Is it hollow?
- If you touch it, is it rough or smooth? Hot or cold?
- If you sniff it, does it have an odour?
- If you lick it, is there a taste?
- What tapped, does it make a sound?
- Is it new or old? Clean or dirty?

Type a brief description:

Reframe a picture (3 of 3)

Replace your frame

The frame is now gone.
Think, what frame do you want around the picture instead?
- What’s its colour? Is it patterned? Is it big or small?
- If you pick it up, is it heavy? Is it fragile? Is it hollow?
- If you touch it, is it rough or smooth? Hot or cold?
- If you sniff it, does it have an odour?
- If you lick it, is there a taste?
- What tapped, does it make a sound?
- Is it new or old? Clean or dirty?

Type a brief description:

Close your eyes and imagine the picture with your new frame.

Keep it?

Test, “Reveal if I need to keep it: Yes, No, Maybe.” If yes, pick a place, then close your eyes and imagine putting it there. When done, open your eyes and take a deep breath.

Be like someone else (1 of 3)

You’re going to remember (or imagine) someone experiencing something you would like to experience, but could not. Then, you’ll imagine that you are magically taking that person’s place, experiencing exactly the same things. This helps you to see new possibilities for yourself.

Who do you need to imagine?

Think of someone else (real or imagined) who is experiencing something you would like to experience, but you feel you never could. Consider:
- What are they being?
- What are they doing?
- What do they want?
- What do they feel?

When you have a person and their experience in mind, test, “Reveal if this is correct: Yes, No, Maybe.” If correct, type a brief description of who they are and what you see them experiencing:

Be like someone else (2 of 3)

Imagine yourself in their place

Close your eyes and imagine the person experiencing the same things as before, except this time it’s you with your face. You will do and feel exactly the same things in exactly the same way.
- See yourself doing the same
- See yourself wanting the same
- See yourself feeling the same

Again?

Test, “Reveal if I need to imagine it again: Yes, No, Maybe.” If yes (or maybe), replay it again in your mind. If not, click “Next”.

Be like someone else (3 of 3)

From a first-person perspective

Close your eyes and replay it one last time, keeping everything exactly the same – but this time see it from a 1st-person perspective, as seen through the eyes.
- You are doing the same
- You are wanting the same
- You are feeling the same

Again?

Test, “Reveal if I need to imagine it again: Yes, No, Maybe.” If yes (or maybe), replay it again.

Keep it?

Test, “Reveal if I need to keep this: Yes, No, Maybe.” If yes, choose somewhere, then close your eyes and imagine putting it there.
Take a deep breath.

Imagine a scene

Sometimes we are so set in our ways that we can’t imagine things being any different. If we could consider a new possibility, it may open us up to new ways of thinking and acting. You’re going to imagine how things could have been, could be now, or could be in the future.

Past, present, or future?

Test, “Reveal which I’m looking at...”:

Past: How things could have been in the past
Present: How things could be different now
Future: How things could be in the future

What to imagine?

It should realistic – something that really could occur in real life, and something that you want.

Think what that scene might look like. When you have something in mind, test, “Reveal if that’s correct: Yes, No, Maybe.” Some ideas:
- Where is it?
- Who is there?
- What is happening?

When correct, close your eyes and imagine that scene until you feel you’ve had enough.
Test, “Reveal if that’s enough: Yes, No, Maybe.” If “Yes”, take a deep breath. If not enough, imagine it some more.
Type what you imagined below:

Keep it?

Test, “Reveal if I need to keep it: Yes, No, Maybe.” If yes, pick a place, then close your eyes and imagine storing it somewhere as a picture, a recording, or something else. When done, open your eyes and take a deep breath.

Make it absurd

Some events, people, and situations are sometimes so ridiculous we should ignore or dismiss their effects, but it may be difficult to see this. This technique asks you to imagine them to be as absurd as possible, making them extremely silly and dramatising what happened until it becomes comical. You can then see them from a new perspective and they can lose some of their power.

What to imagine?

Think what you wish to imagine. It should be something that is actually happening, did happen, or something which represents how you really feel. When you have something in mind, test, “Reveal if that’s correct: Yes, No, Maybe.” Some ideas:
- Where is it?
- Who is there?
- What is happening?

When correct, type it below.

Make it absurd!

In your imagination, take the scene and exaggerate it, make it ridiculous, absurd, silly, crazy, until it becomes laughable.
- Make things extreme
- Change their size, colour, and so on
- Make them look ridiculous

Test, “Reveal if that’s enough: Yes, No, Maybe.” If “Yes”, take a deep breath. If not enough, imagine it some more and make more changes as desired.
Type what it ended up looking like:

Keep it?

Test, “Reveal if I need to keep it: Yes, No, Maybe.” If yes, pick a place, then close your eyes and imagine storing it somewhere as a picture, a recording, or something else. When done, open your eyes and take a deep breath.

The Feelings lists

Test, “Reveal which...”

These lists show what feelings may be behind your issues. Including: what you believe you must feel (“I must be...”), what feeling you’ll get in exchange for being yourself or for being in your situation (“I will get...), or what you fear you might feel (“I fear...”). In addition we have our “Emotions chart” of 40 different emotional words.

I must be...

What must you be and feel? Something good that you really want? Something that you seek and would really help you if only you could be that way? Alternatively, is it something negative that your body feels is inevitable, like it’s your fate, or all you’re good for?

Test, “Reveal what I must be...”

Your interpretation

What do the chosen options mean to you? Test if unsure. Type it below:

I will get...

What will you feel in exchange for being the way you are, or for being in your situation? These two lists help you to understand what feeling you expect to get, and what you have felt before, for either being yourself or for experiencing your situation.

Positive or negative?

Test, “Reveal if I will get...”

I will get... (positive)

Test, “Reveal what I will feel...”

Your interpretation

What do the chosen options mean to you? Test if unsure. Type it below:

I will get... (negative)

Test, “Reveal what I will feel...”

Your interpretation

What do the chosen options mean to you? Test if unsure. Type it below:

I fear...

What fear or worry is somehow connected to the issue you’re considering in this session? This list isn’t about common phobias, like being frightened of spiders or heights. It’s to show what fears or worries – both subtle and strong – are directing your personality.

Test, “Reveal what I fear...”

Your interpretation

What do the chosen options mean to you? Test if unsure. Type it below:

The Desires lists

Test, “Reveal which...”

These lists help identify desires that are either unhelpful, or are good but are causing pain by going unfulfilled. They list different desires (“I desire to be...”), why they may be there (“The purpose of my desire”), descriptions of their unhealthy nature (“Describe my desire”), and what comforts you may have and why (“My self-indulgence”).

My self-indulgence (1 of 3)

We can be stuck in a so-called “comfort zone” for years or even decades. In this ‘zone’ we indulge ourselves like a parent spoiling a child. Here your body can reveal what your indulging yourself with, and what you are really trying to provide yourself.

What’s my indulgence?

Test, “Reveal what I indulge in...”

My self-indulgence (2 of 3)

My indulgences:

[[indulgences]]

What does it provide me?

Indulgences always provide you with something deeper than what appears on the surface. What do your indulgences provide you in this instance?

Test, “Reveal what it provides me...”

accomplishment
admiration
freedom, escape
love, intimacy

rest
safety
Something else

My self-indulgence (3 of 3)

My indulgences:

[[indulgences]]

What they provide me:

[[providesme]]

What’s the reality?

What it provides you (above) is often not genuine. Let your body tell you what the truth is about it.

Test, “Reveal the reality ...”

it’s fake
it’s false
it’s shallow
it’s unsatisfying

it’s temporary
it’s unacheivable
it’s avoidance
it’s a coping mechanism
Something else

Your interpretation

What does all of this mean to you? Test if unsure. Type it below:

I desire to be...

A desire for something, perhaps something you have not considered, may be supporting your issue and preventing you from growing out of it. This technique helps you to find out what it, or they, may be.

Test, “Reveal what I desire to be...”

Your interpretation

What do the chosen options mean to you? Test if unsure. Type it below:

The purpose of my desire

What desire?

Think, what desire?
When you’ve thought of one, test, “Reveal if it’s this: Yes, No, Maybe.”
If “Yes”, type it below.

The purpose?

Test, “Reveal its purpose...”

To use what I desire
To have what I desire
To be what I desire
To get something from what I desire

How it feels

Test, “Reveal the important sentences...” and test each sentence while you read the below paragraph. Click to highlight each sentence your body chooses.

(Please select a description)

Using this is exactly what I require to maintain my life and bring it all together.

In fact, this is absolutely necessary! If I can use this for my own ends, there is surely no risk of my life going to pieces.

Actually, it does take some strength on my part to get this. When I use this then I am fully assured that everything is all right.

This is something I oh-so desperately need! If I just had this, even for a moment, oh how it would be perfect! I would be so complete!

I can’t stand feeling bland frustration. Oh if only I had this! Everything would be so perfect, I would be renewed!

Sometimes I might tell myself I’m being selfless in this, but it’s not really true. Whatever it is, what I need is to have this provide a missing part of me. It doesn’t concern me much what anyone else thinks.

How fulfilling it would be if I could be this way. Oh if only I could be this! Then I would be happy and I would be satisfied. If I am not this way, is my life worth living? What can I do?

I don’t know why I failed to be as this. I don’t believe I am, nor can I ever be, as I wish. Why even try? I’ve not been this way in the past. Why can’t I be what I want to be?

Whatever I need from this, I believe that if I don’t get it, I will be left with nothing.

This has complete power over me. My own feeling of contentment is entirely reliant upon this giving me what I need. I am at the mercy of this!

Thus I have no responsibility for it. All my personal responsibility has been handed over to whatever or whomever gives me what I need.

If for some reason it fails to give me what I need, then I am left with nothing! What on earth am I supposed to do then?

The reality

This is the opposite of what you just read. You will probably not agree with it very much, or maybe not at all! That’s the point. It’s the reality you can’t currently see.

I will only pay any attention to this for as long as I can get what I want out of it.

The truth is that I actually don’t really need to use this as glue to stick myself together. In fact, I never really needed to use this at all!

In reality, I already have within me everything I need to use. Within myself is, and always was, the true sources of strength to bring my life together.

Any of these things outside of myself are, in fact, inferior. With me are exactly the things I need to use.

This could never genuinely satisfy my need. It’s just a misperception. The missing part of myself which I was seeking, was really within me all along. Only what I already possess within me can genuinely satisfy my need.

I have no deficiency. Everything I require is already here, inside myself. Every part is present. I am complete.

What I believe I should be is actually not really special or remarkable. It’s actually ordinary and unremarkable.

What I can be, and perhaps what I already am, is just as “ordinary” and “unremarkable”. Inside I can be what I want to be, who I want to be, and I am capable of being anyone I wish.

Inside of me I already have everything required to be me. I am satisfied with what I can be inside myself.

What I believe this can provide me, was never really the best thing for me.

The best version, in fact, is only produced by me within myself. Only my own home-grown version of what I need is truly good enough. That’s far superior to anything it could give me.

Sure, whatever it is I need from this may be nice, but it’s not going to ultimately work. Only I can truly give myself the best version of what I need.

I can clearly see that everything I ever needed was already inside of me all the time. What I thought my desire provided me with, was never really special. I believed it was special, but I now see that it’s unremarkable and ordinary. What I already have is perfect, and I already have exactly what I need.

I have enough of everything I need; I’m not lacking anything. Therefore, I’m free to pursue whatever I want, and I have no urgent need of any kind. I’ve already got everything I need, and I can exercise full authority over myself. I am in charge of myself, nothing else is, and nobody else is. I am self-sufficient.

Thoughts

Test, “Reveal which...”

These lists help reveal what thoughts are contributing to your issue. See what’s stopping you from growing out of your issue (“Where I’m stuck”), such as personality traits (“My personality traits”), beliefs about yourself (“Beliefs about myself”), and decisions you’ve made or need to make (“Decisions I’ve made”).

Where I’m stuck

To change, we must all follow a process. You must first accept you have the issue at this time. Only then is it possible for you to admit it needs to change. Once you do that, you are finally able to allow it to change. This technique shows where you are stuck in this process.

Find out where you’re stuck

Test, “Reveal where I am stuck...’

Accept: I do not fully accept that I have this issue at this time
Admit: I do not fully admit, or concede, that this issue needs to change
Allow: I do not fully allow this issue to change

Close your eyes and try to choose to accept, admit, or allow what you need to.
Take a deep breath and open your eyes.

My personality traits

Your innate personality traits are neither good nor bad, but they can play a role in creating your issues, or even stopping you from growing out of them. Or you may need to make more use of a trait to help you grow out of your issue. Find out which trait(s) help or hinder you.

Test, “Reveal which traits...”

What are they doing?

Test, “Reveal whether these traits...”

are part of the problem
could help me solve the problem

How so?

Think, how are they connected to your issue? If you want, type about it:

Beliefs about myself

These are small phrases you may say to yourself, either knowingly or unknowingly. You may believe these things, even if it’s just at certain times and in certain situations.

Test, “Reveal which belief I have...”

Your interpretation

What do the chosen options mean to you? Test if unsure. Type it below:

Decisions I’ve made

We are not always victims of our circumstances. We often choose how to feel. The decisions we make can remain alive in the back of our minds, “pulling the strings” from “behind the scenes”. This technique helps bring these into the light where you can see them, and change them if desired.

What decision?

Test “Reveal what kind of decision I’m looking at...”

About how I feel
About how I view myself
About how I view others
About how I act or what I do
About how I view something
About what I remember
About what I choose to believe
(about something else)

Think, what decision have you made? Is it connected to your issue, or something that’s already come up in your session, or something else?
When you have something, test “Reveal if this is correct: Yes, No, Maybe.” If correct, type it:

Keep it or change it?

Test, “Reveal if I want to: Keep this decision, Change it.”
If you want to change it, click “Change my decision” below. Otherwise click “Done”.

Change my decision

What do you want instead?

Think, what decision would you like to make instead?
When you have something, test “Reveal if this is correct: Yes, No, Maybe.” If correct, type it:

Close your eyes and repeat your decision in your mind over and over again until you feel you’ve got the sense of it.
Take a deep breath and open your eyes.
