Hi Johnny

(tm) means "Trade mark"

Right at the bottom of the main forum page, there's a link to the Time Line Therapy (tm) website that should give you a good idea what it is all about.

Hi Taffy,

Thanks for pointing out the site and I had a bit of a read of it since you metioned it... sounds interesting - seems it is about settling emotional problems in the past and freedom from emotional restrictions in the future... The site tells me alot about why I should do it... though I still understand very little about the process.... Seems very geared toward attending one of the courses... which is fine.....

Now I am wondering a bit more now about how rapport with the unconscious is established and what a time line therapist or individual engaging in personal timeline therapy might actually do to remove emotional restriction... (what's the secrets heh, heh :) ... do tell, tell)

Rappor is created when 2 people mirror each overs body language, and reach a greater undestanding of the over person. To establish rappor you need to mirror the over personsbody langauge, though don't make it too obvious or you will look like a mental person...lol

Respectfully, this is not exactly accurate.

There are many ways to create rapport. I highly recommend the book Instant Rapport by Brooks.

Mirroring another person's body language can help to create a feeling of comfort and result in increased rapport. As Solaris points out, if you do this too obviously, you will look crazy.

After a period of mirroring, if you then lead and the other person follows, it is an indication that the other person is in a greater level of rapport with you. When people start mirroring each other it is one indication of increased rapport.

Respectfully, I would contend that rapport does not mean people actually have an understanding of each other. Rather, rapport is a subjective measurement, in part, of the amount of similarity people think they have with each other.

thanks for the references and feedback.. In reference to my earlier email I was in particular wondering, however, about rapport with 'my own' unconscious... The site Taffy directed me to was talking about time line therapy and its aim (in part) to teach individuals how to attain rapport with their own unconscious... If anyone could point me in the right direction with a reply or some links.. would appreciate it...

Begun reading Trance-formations by Grinder and BAndler recently... in the first chapter there is some stuff about establishing credibility with the person you are inducing (so to speak) by means of the use of transitional words like 'as...' , 'and....', 'while....' and potentialities instead of absolutes... so e.g. might begin by saying 'as you are reading this..... you may become aware of the colours on the monitor in front of you... and you might find that the background colour of this message has a relaxing appeal that you never really noticed before..... and whilst you observe this .... you might find your eyes beginning to relax and the focus becoming sharper..... you might even find that reading this becomes very pleasurable.... becomes very relaxing... whilst you hear the sound of the computer fan whirring you may find yourself becoming more attuned to the pitch of the sound the fan makes ..... and the sounds around you bring you into a more receptive state of consciousness.... you may even find that you have become more aware of your breathing and that it has become slower and deeper and pleasant to the lung...'

ok, ok - this is all quite new to me so .... you get the idea though... I can perhaps talk to myself (unconscious) this way .... keeping things approriate to the situation, and letting my unconscious trust my commands.... before leading it into helping with some other things I might want ... I got to thinking this might be a way to establish rapport with the 'personal' unconscious....

Hi,
'The secret of creating your future' is a great little starting point for timeline therapy.

Hi Johnny -

You said : " ... letting my unconscious trust my commands ... before leading it into helping with some other things I might want ... I got to thinking this might be a way to establish rapport with the 'personal' unconscious.... "

Wanna know 1 really neat way for * your own personal unconscious * to trust "your conscious mind" ? (which, when you think of it, together is really your *1*-mind to begin with) : Choose to believe (as in fact you are :)) you are a *wonderfully FUN beautiful person*, capable of learning, doing and being whatever makes you, & other people, happiest ...

Re-hearse that thought to yourself as often as you want thru-out each day, and back it up with your best-intended actions. And when you chance to interact with people who haven't learned that, yet - share it with them, in whatever positive benevolent ways you can.

Tho, not everyone will choose buying it; sigh - their choice, and loss.

And before you go to sleep at the end of each of your days, reflect on all the FUN, happy things you learned that day, as well as sincerely praising yourself for all your Good deeds you have accomplished, especially any/all sincere encouragements you offered, for living full of love and joy.

And then, the Goals you want to achieve ... they'll be realized so much easier :D

You know, this allows you to succeed in so many happy adventures ...

Have Fun !

Ok, thanks Annie. (By the way - I'm wondering - are the words you put in between *'s intended as embedded commands? or... , if not why put them in stars? - just out of curiosity....)


Now I am still interested in peoples views on how rapport can be established for an individual with his/her personal unconscious..... perhaps more specifically - independent of any particular outcome or, that is, without any particular manner of being in mind. I am more interested in understanding (in this particular regard) how a person would go about 'operating his/her brain' (to use Timothy Leary's expression) - than how to exist in a specific manner. It's the basic structure or features of personal rapport I want to understand so that when I require a particular outcome in any given context I can, if deemed necessary, have my own full (conscious and unconscious) support regardless of what this may be for.

In Annie's post there seems to be some kind of methodology - Seems I could rehearse some particular kind of proposition and back it up with appropriate actions... or, that is, assume the situation most agreeable and act accordingly - reminds me of a quote I once heard (from R.D. Laing I think) that goes "change the body change the mind, change the mind change the body" -or if you want to think a certain way act a certain way, if you want to act a certain way think a certain way......

Not sure if this is quite what I am after... Nevetheless a useful thought for re-orientation....

How would an individual interested engaged in time line therapy (with him/herself) set about establishing rapport with his/her personal unconscious and with removing past emotional restrictions? ..... other than that if there are any other points of view on establishing rapport with individual unconscious I'd be happy to hear them.....

Thanks

all feedback appreciated...

Cheers
