I have a question about the Traumatic Injury Relief Pattern. I'd like to offer this/use this on my sister when I see her in a few weeks. As the regulars here know (because I've talked about it a LOT) she was in a horrific car accident in November. She still has arm pain and restriction of movement in one arm. That's what I'd like to focus on.

I want to run this NLP pattern with her. My question, she doesn't consciously remember (apparently at all) the accident. I'm not even sure she remembers that day. This pattern has the person go through what was the smallest difference that could have been made to have a different outcome. How can we do this if she doesn't remember? She doesn't WANT to remember (she says).

Also, you take the person from safe place before the trauma to safe place after the trauma. Where would her safe ending place be? Do I let her define it? 3 weeks later when she wakes up in the hospital? Or the moment of being airlifted in the helicopter? She might feel that the safe place was when she got home months later. Aren't we supposed to isolate the event in a tight way?

Any suggestions? I wasn't intending to induce a formal trance situation, just run the pattern talking to her and see if we can alleviate some of this pain in her arm. Do you think we'd get better results if I induce a formal trance, then run it?

Edited to add: I'm also going to offer to use other healing modalities with her, including Matrix Energetics--I intend to whip out many tools while I've got her. We'll be on a family trip for a week! :D

Connie, your post speaks volumes, but you are wrong. Your sister, rightly or wrongly doesn't want to remember the accident because she is not yet ready to do so, and you should respect her decission even if you don;t like it..
I would suggest going in the back door to get the results you want without infringing on your sisters right of choice. Sit beside the bed, place one hand under her arm, part way between the wrist and the elbow, and the other hand on top above the first. You might even stroke the arm if you wish, since the intent is to draw attention to the arm without appearing to do so at the concious level. Talk to her about how so many prayed for her, and the wonderful results that followed, and how gratefull you are to those who did the praying. I call it faith healing for want of a better description, but in fact it is overt hypnosis, and I believe you will get results without needing any formal induction, and without overriding your sisters desire not to remember anything. As I recall, she was offended when you tried to help before, hence my suggestion of back door politics....:)
Other methods later would depend on her reactions to any offer of yours to help, and you may find her still resistant, so be prepared to come up with other back door means of helping. Sneaky I agree, and perhaps on the verge of ignoring the client's wishes, but she is your sister, and helping without her concious knowledge is valid in my opinion since it is in a good cause....;)

Thanks, Terry! :) This is a different sister than the one who "got mad." That's my big sister. I'll do nothing overt or covert with her. I want to say "ever" but forever is a long time. :D

Marci may be open to it. I plan to offer, and see what she says. But I love your idea, too. I can certainly incorporate that one--because it's sincere and it's real. I am grateful.

you learned to work with "The Higher Self" with permission of the UC. Lots of work can be done up there. You should also know how to create amnesia for the whole session when you are done.

If I'm not mistaken this pattern also includes 3 Place Dissoc. What is that specifically - a noninduced trance state. Re: pictures -- if they are very traumatic for her, cut them in half and run separately and if that's still too much, just slivers until she is comfortable.

Tad said that our bodies are full of unresolved memories that are continually presented to the UC mind when we sleep and the answer is: NOT READY TO DEAL WITH THAT YET so it goes back in until the UC is ready to deal with it.

Pood

Sounds good! Thanks, Ms. Poodle. :)

Her daughter, age 13, is so open and adventurous. She's already said she wants me to hypnotize HER! When I told her (the daughter) about reiki once upon a time over the phone, her immediate response: SEND IT!!

Connie, there are a number of quick and easy pain reduction techniques.
To name just two, using the scale on 1 to 10.
Use a volume control to bring the volume down
Have the number she sets fade at her own speed down to the next lower number.

The arm movement may be improved if she imagines making the movement a few times before she actually makes the move.

Both of these have improved "frozen shoulder" problems

Taffy is very correct. One does not have to use VK as AK works very well for any discomfort. In fact, AK is the preferred way for discomfort in the NLP family.
