After changing the posture: “I have a straight back, I have no pain, I have open hands, a sense of relaxation in the hands and my eyes are open.”
The message from the new posture: “Live! Life is beautiful. It is yours and you have the right to live, you have the right to be happy, you have the right to be beautiful..., you have the right to be loved, you can breathe (the voice amplifies, she laughs joyfully).”
The case of the client L.
Fairy tale “The Pomegranate Necklace”.
The object: a dress with a very heavy necklace, all studded with precious stones from edge to edge, very massive, bedecked with jewels everywhere (L. sighs). Though it is heavy, it is brilliantly beautiful (L. cries).
The dress has a function of the shell (the armor) and without it the main character will be left bare and unprotected. It protects the main character, and at the same time does not allow her to live, it is a burden that is preventing very much. Without this dress the heroine would be easier, more sensual, more real and closer to the others.
The message: My brilliance prevents to see real L. (crying), and everyone pays attention to the shine, but does not see L. The message: “Don’t feel, Don’t be Yourself (crying), Don’t be Close, cut off from everyone, then you will not feel anything and you will not be hurt. (Injunctions from Child in the Parent).
Pose: standing straight, tense back, shoulders, hands clenched into fists. L. feels great tension throughout the body, feels herself a spacesuit (crying), all very tense and can never relax at all.
When changing the posture L. wants to relax and limp, not to feel the tension. L. spreads a blanket, lies down and curls into a ball. The therapist covers her (crying). She calms down, relaxes and feels warm.
The message from the new posture: “You can be yourself, you can be real and feel all your feelings. You can feel all your feelings and you can show your feelings to others. You can be yourself, you can have close relationship, you may be vulnerable and you can cope with it. You can live your life and be real at the same time. “
Again the switch into Adult through Free Child takes place.
The case of the client N.
The Tale of Tsar Saltan.
Object: barrel, which imprisoned the prince and his mother.
Description: I do not care, I’m just doing my job. Message: I do not care what will happen to you, be quiet, you will destroy me, I want to get rid of you as soon as possible. (The injunctions Don’t live, Don’t exist)
Pose: tense, standing to full height, with legs wide apart, hands trying to grasp as much space as possible, solidifies in the stillness, sometimes rises on her toes and wiggles a little, holds her breath, closes her eyes, fixed grimace of sorrow on her face. Feeling: indifference, fatigue, lack of interest, irritation.
When changing posture: breathes, relaxes, sits in a lotus position, huggs herself, then asks for a pillow and huggs a pillow, is rocking, relaxing muscles can be seen, smiling, breathing even and calm, eyes open.
Message: I see you, I love you, I will protect and defend you, I want to relax a bit, you’re a miracle, you can relax, you are needed.
Permission: live, feel, you are needed.
If we consider this case in terms of the relationship - movement and need to be accepted was interrupted on an emotional level. If we present a script decision, it is “I am not needed”. In the observed level the hands reach and do not receive a response, the body is tense. In order to complete the movement it was necessary to embrace and relax, restore breathing and feel the whole body.
From the history: the child was in the hospital for admission separately from his mother for a long time, so in the preverbal period the child faced deprivation and exclusion that was entered into the body script.
