The community of people involved in the development of psychological techniques (psychotechniques) consists of those who develop new procedures and approaches, those who are responsible for training students and graduates in working with them, as well as those who use them in research. But in order to qualitatively develop this topic, you need to understand the terminology and list the main types of these techniques.
Psychological tricks and techniques
Psychotechniques are special techniques and methods that allow you to change the psychological state of a person, achieve personal changes and solve psychological problems. There are several main types (directions) of psychological techniques:
- Processing (auditing, PEAT, etc.).
- Neuro Linguistic Programming.
- Trance techniques (hypnosis, autogenic training, meditation).
- Jungian techniques for working with the unconscious.
In most cases, it is processing that is meant by psychotechnics, and it is it (or rather, its various forms) that is most often used in counseling.
Sedona Method
The Sedona Method is a unique, simple, powerful, easy-to-learn psychological technique that shows you how to tap into your natural abilities and let go of any painful or unwanted feeling in the moment.
What makes the Sedona Method a powerful tool? First of all, it is a process that you can use anytime, anywhere to improve any area of your life.
Sedona Subtleties
There are three ways to approach the release process, and they all lead to the same result: releasing your natural ability to let go of any unwanted emotions in place and allow some of the repressed energy in your subconscious mind to dissipate.
The first way is to let go of the unwanted feeling. The second way is to welcome the feeling, to let the emotion just be. The third way is to dive into the heart of emotions.
You will find that when you work with the Sedona Method, it will give you so much more than you bargained for or even dreamed of.
Benefits
As you continue to use the Sedona Method, you will become more adept at using it, and results will accelerate significantly over time. You will quickly reach the point where release becomes second nature.
No matter the circumstances, the Sedona Method will show you how you can achieve we alth and success, improve relationships, find peace and happiness, he alth and well-being.
This will help you create the life you choose right now. This means that you will be literally free to have, be, and do whatever you want or desire. This process is backed by a ton of scientific research, celebrity endorsements and the success of hundreds of thousands of people who have achieved amazing results in every area of their lives.
Link to the New Age
The Sedona Method is what some say is a New Age standalone psychotherapy that can free you from emotional baggage and bring you prosperity. Like it or not - only you can check it yourself.
History of the method
It was created by a psychologist named Lester Levenson after a heart attack in 1952. The doctor sent him home, telling Levenson that he would die at the age of about 42. After checking to see if he had the pills to end it and commit suicide, Levenson sat down and thought about the deep philosophy of all the ideas he had learned in his life, and came to the conclusion that they were all powerless at the moment. He noticed that he felt happy when he remembered the times in his life associated with love for other people. He focused on it and began to feel better, physically and emotionally. After a few months, he felt really good and eventually came up with a frame of reference for negative feelings,and allowed them, at least some, to pass. Later, this psychological technique for working with memories became known as the Sedona method. Levenson lived another forty-two years without ever seeing a doctor, which he told a group of his students in 1990. Lester developed abdominal cancer and died in 1994.
After Levenson's death, his "stress relief through releasing negative feelings" movement split into two branches, led by his students Larry Crane and Gail Dwoskin.
Crane is a former agent of Hollywood star Joan Collins, a very self-confident person. He founded his graduate school in Southern California, focused mainly on developing prosperity consciousness, and named Sedon's method the "Release Technique", effectively changing the original name.
Dvoskin is more of a consultant than a guru. He continues the work of his teacher Levenson in Phoenix. Later, Dvoskin moved his school to Sedona and now teaches psychologists. He is the CEO of Sedona Training Associates.
Processing
The main idea of processing as a psychological technique is that memory is exactly what appears as a result of information processing. Memory is only a by-product of the depth of information processing, and there is no clear distinction between short-term and long-term memory.
So instead of focusing on the stores/structures involved (i.e. short and long term memory), this theory focuses on the processesmemory related.
General processing scheme:
- Remembering a traumatic event and/or an unpleasant emotion.
- Focusing on that event and/or emotion, replaying it meticulously.
- Maximizing the discomfort, feelings and emotions associated with the traumatic event.
- Releasing all negative feelings and sensations that were previously artificially amplified.
All the techniques and techniques of psychological counseling within the framework of processing are built on this scheme, and the reader can apply it to himself or develop some of his own methods of work on its basis (if he is a practicing psychologist). It is also based on the auditing described below - the infamous technique of the even more scandalous "Church of Scientology".
Auditing
In the Church of Scientology, auditing is the process (processing) in which an auditor takes on a person known as a "preclear" who, under his direction, gets rid of any negative memory situations. Auditing originated as an integral part of the Dianetics movement and has since become a mainstream practice in Scientology, paired with the E-meter. Auditing is defined by the Scientology sect as the application of the processes and procedures of Dianetics or Scientology to improve a person's life and abilities. One formal definition of auditing is the act of asking a person questions that he can understand and answer. Auditing is considered a technical operation which, according toChurch, lifts the burdened person, the "preclear", from the level of spiritual distress to the level of understanding and inner self-realization. This process is for the individual to purify their soul.
Steps of psychological auditing technique:
- PC assumes a comfortable position and recalls the traumatic event at the auditor's command.
- Auditor asks preclear leading questions to help fully "re-experience" the event through memory and find charged traumatic memory elements (i.e. engrams) in it.
- The preclear gets to the end of the event, after which he either gets better and releases engrams, or the process is repeated until the preclear feels clear relief.
More details
According to scholar Eric Roux, auditing is one of the core practices of Scientology. The main purpose of this psychotechnique in the doctrine of Scientology is to rediscover the natural abilities of man, realizing that he is a spiritual being.
In the context of Dianetics or Scientology, auditing is an activity in which a communications-trained auditor listens to and issues audit commands to a subject referred to as a "preclear" or more commonly a "computer". Although auditor sessions are confidential, notes taken by the auditor during the sessions are kept in the sect archive. Some believe that auditing is a technique of psychological influence and a kind of directive hypnosis. Soor otherwise, its various modifications are quite successfully used by some practical psychologists.
Scientology makes a distinction between auditors - those who practice auditing, and the public (the public) - those who are taught but not trained to practice on others. Auditors are considered to be the highest church officials in Scientology as they are seen as more oriented towards achieving the goals of the religion or "cleansing the planet" in Scientology terminology.
Be set free fast - psychological help technique
With this technique, you can learn to train your subconscious mind to unblock any emotional circuits that bind you to your inner world. This technique is very similar to auditing both technically and practically. Among modern alternative psychological counseling techniques, it is one of the most popular.
