I signed up for a session without any expectations and this is what happened: First, I had to relax into it and get into an open receptive state.

If you've ever been hypnotized, you know you have to "want" to be hypnotized. If you resist and don't want to play the game, then hypnosis doesn't work. Then I had to find a problem, which was very difficult because I was in a good mood and I couldn't remember what had been wrong with me the day before. It took a lot of suffering for the poor psychologist to get something out of me.

I won't go into details, but basically I had to relive the problem, imagine what it was like at the time. Then he used two tactics on me.

We went back to events in the past when unpleasant things happened to me. In my case, for example, it came up once that I had a breakfast that I didn't like. I know it sounds stupid, but my disgust for food, my parents' behaviour, my childish mind, my expectations at the time, and my lack of problem solving skills turned it into a trauma. I was so disgusted by that food, the smell of it made me sick, but I still got it and ate it a lot because I felt it was an expectation to stop being a wimpy, squeamish child. Here, one of my parents got in my face because he didn't take my preferences into account, and the other because he didn't stand up for me.

Understandable? I hope so, because I've already described it in too much detail and I don't really enjoy sharing such things, because it's private. I just wanted to illustrate that any kind of nonsense can come up. It is only important how someone experienced the event. Essentially, past events had to be lived through and corrected. So my task was to change something in the past that made an otherwise bad event a good experience.

I had to recall equally bad experiences, but this time I had to change the protagonist: me. In each situation I put someone who solved the situation without any problems and came out of it well.

It was a great realization how simple solutions to things are and how I'm the only one making my life difficult.

End result We recognised problems. We tried to relate them to past events. We solved past events in our imagination and then tried to rewrite the present after past successes.

Something like this. I'm sure I wrote a lot of nonsense because of my incompetence, but the point is that it was good.

I found it useful to relive the distant past and the events of the last few years/days. I had time to calmly think about what happened and best of all I corrected the memories in my imagination in two ways. Because of this I started to see the situation from more perspectives and not just from my narrowed memories.

I don't know if what I described made any sense or if it's just rambling, but if you have a problem that bothers you, has been with you for a long time, or if you're just acutely in a bad situation because of a crisis, I think it's a good decision to go to AnaLog therapy. It doesn't cost much to try and you can do it online. I did it online but my paralysis made it take an hour and a half instead of an hour.
