No, not vomiting, but rather an act that enables the individual to release anger in a safe and yet primal way. A primal act sends a very strong message to the subconscious mind to "let it all hang out!" This is a surprisingly effective and powerful means of release. Here are some examples that I use to give you the feel of what these acts can be like so that you can either use them or some adaptation for your client. 1) During hypnosis, tell your client to buy a watermelon ... the watermelon will symbolize the person that he is angry at. Watermelons works well as they are an easy target because of their size and they are fleshy. Instruct the client to set aside time to "attack" the watermelon with a paring knife. A paring knife is a small knife that is easy to stab with and easy to control. Hypnotically suggest to your client that he will release his pent-up rage with every stab and feel significantly freed of the burden of his anger ... no longer a victim. Reinforce that there is no karmic impact as his intention is to release his anger not to actually wound the person. 2) During hypnosis, tell your client to write the names of the individuals that he is angry at on the soles of his shoes. Suggest that every time he walks on a rough surface, such as street asphalt or gravel, that he is "roughing" the people up that he has named on his shoes. Emphasize that every stamping of his feet or scuffing of his soles brings about a more and more complete release of his long-standing rage. 3) During hypnosis, tell your client that the next time he has to go to the bathroom that he should write the name of the individual that he is angry at on a piece of toilet paper that he then tosses into the toilet bowl before urinating or defecating. Emphasize that as he flushes the toilet paper and contents away, he feels cleansed of his rage. 4) During hypnosis, tell your client to place about twelve empty glass bottles into the bottom of a big garbage bin (can, hamper, container, etc.). If he uses a recycle bin, suggest that after he destroys the glass, it will release his anger into the Universe where it can be neutralized and re-used (recycled). Suggest that he take several large rocks and pile them up next to the garbage bin. Further suggest that one rock represents his rage, another represents his agony, and yet another represents his shame (or guilt). Tell him to one-by-one, throw each rock in taking care to aim each at the bottles as he throws them into the bin, letting himself yell like an angry warrior as he releases each rock. Reinforce that he releases the rage, agony or shame as each rock leaves his grip. |
