possibly involving water. Can you make sense of this?”
C: “Not really. There was something along those lines, but I wasn’t
really youn g at the time”
P: “O.K., Anyway, such an accident did happen when you were
younger than you are now, can we agree on that?” (Or: “I think we
can agree on that)
Next, review: “So, this accident that I saw in the past, the sense I get
is that this was an important event, where you learned some lessons,
which are still with you today. I feel his has been an important area
of inner growth for you, which could be why I got such a strong
impression along these lines…
Because, in this reprise, you twice referred to having
accurately seen this accident, when the client thinks back over
the reading, or tells others about it, he may well retain the
impression that you got this event completely right.
