Does Psych-k Also Resolve The Underlying Trauma
StewartR
Let's say I'm a woman and I suffer a sexual assault. As a result I
develop beliefs like 'all men are bad' 'men are to be feared', etc.
Subsequently, those beliefs are resolved using PsychK.
What is the fate of the underlying trauma in my system? When I resolve
the beliefs with PsychK, does that automatically take care of the
underlying trauma aswell?
Interested in any thoughts on this.
Thanks

Hard to know. In your example, you know up front that their is a past
trauma. What I would do is start with the person sitting in whole brain
posture (test cross-over and go through entire New Direction Balance) for
the situation (sexual assault). Have her feel as bad as she can for as long
as she can until she experiences a shift. Then, I would check some of these
beliefs and balance for supporting ones like "I can trust men", "I am safe
in the presence of men". Whatever the client would rather have instead. It
is my personal belief (and experience) that the underlying trauma in the
system is resolved using this approach. So check it out, and ask your
client their experience.

Hey Stewart,
I had experience with what Allison was speaking of during the PSYCH-K masters class and found it to be incredibly beneficial. I also later balanced for "I easily trust men when it is safe and appropriate" because I wanted to have that feeling of discernment and comfort. Its such a great technique, it removed years of pain I was not even aware of. Best of luck.

Great question. One suggestion I would add is to have your client think about the traumatic experience and when they are feeling the feelings, test them. If it's weak, I would test-It's safe and appropriate to release all origins of this trauma now. If strong, process with the New Directions or Resolution (whichever the subconscious chooses) as Allison suggested and it found on the back of your New Directions Balance.

Stewart, I recently worked with a patient with a history of child abuse, family deaths and a rape. I guided her to use whole brain posture to release the emotional scars attached to the traumas as described by Allison. In her case she was only able to work with this in small pieces. The first session was around the deaths of her sister and mother. Several weeks later she agreed to try to release the stresses around the rape. During this session, she started to vomit and go into physical stress. I just encouraged her to release in the physical way as she needed and to then go back to the whole brain posture and I held her in a space of safety by INTINTION. Afterwards, she told me that right after the rape she vomited, so maybe this was a way to help her release the stress attachment. Again I can only trust it happened for her highest good. This was a very difficult process for her but since we got a message that it was safe and appropriate for her to release the emotions related to the specific trauma, then I felt it was my job to encourage her to continue and remind her that her highest self has guided her to make this step (via muscle testing). Both times she finished the emotional releases at home after the sessions. She feels she has completely released these stresses now. However, she has one major piece of emotional trauma release to work on and she has been very resistant to facing it. This piece is the child abuse trauma. She knows that in order for her to feel her inner peace, she must face these last strong holds of emotions. It is almost as though she is afraid to let them go, as then she won’t know how to identify herself without pain. So in her case I can only work with her as she allows but she needs very “stern but compassionate” words to keep her encouraged that she can deal with this safely. I remind her she has been in over 15 years of therapy and it hasn’t helped her. I tell her that I will not be in therapy with her but when she is really ready to make a real change, then I’ll be there to help her. She is scheduled to come in on Saturday and I’m not sure she’ll work with this last major piece or not as she says she wants acupuncture to help with the body pain (she has labeled her self with fibromyalgia). As we all know, the pain most probably is rooted in this trauma. So, we haven’t even been able to test for things like “I trust men” or “I trust the world” or any of these statements yet because until she releases the root ties, it is hard to jump the next level of more refined beliefs. Of course we did address the core beliefs such as “I’m worthy of the best love and life have to offer” and “I love and accept myself” but just dealing with these very basic beliefs was a lot to deal with in the 5 sessions I’ve worked with her. (2 of these were acupuncture). My hope is that she will release this last major piece but my intention is to allow the PSYCH-K process to guide her into an empowering identity instead of the pain identity that she only remembers now. Perhaps there will be pieces of forgiveness that come up in the PSYCH-K process. The speed and details of such complicated cases is truly up to the individual and their relationship with their highest self.
I wish you the best and at this point I can only urge you to trust the PSYCH-K process to guide you to help in the highest manor. I am not a psychotherapist nor a counselor so I haven’t had any experience dealing with such cases. I know she has made big positive changes in her life. When she first started coming, she couldn’t hold eye contact and her eyeballs were in a constant vibration or giggle. Now after the last time I worked with her, I noticed a big difference in her eyes. She is able to hold her eyes much more steady and she is even able to make eye contact which I know she isn’t even aware of. Her nightmares are much less and she hasn’t experienced what she calls a “disassociated” patterns. I’m not too clear what meaning she has attributed to that as I haven’t focused much on any details regarding any of her traumas or past labels. My focus has been on her positive changes and faith, trust and hope in her peaceful life now and in the future.
I hope this helps. I’m learning at the same time, so I appreciate you asking these good questions.

Alison - thanks. Have used this various times myself, was just curious
as to whether there was anything done maybe at an unconscious level to
resolve the trauma at the same time as the belief is balanced. e.g.
sometimes if I change a belief on something, it will work
retroactively to reframe and change my opinion & perspective on past
events. I wondered if this was the same effect in resolving trauma.
Maybe we'll never know.
Annick, Marylou - many thanks.
Deanna - inspiring story, thanks so much for sharing.
<Hugs everyone>
