'Translating', 'forgetting' and replacing
A mixture of Cognitive Behavioural and Systemic psychology techniques
Everyone wants to love and feel loved by their family, partners, co-workers and friends.
Everyone needs to be liked, in terms of beauty, to succeed in academic life or their career and fullfil their parents expectations. Everyone is afraid of loneliness.
These fundamental needs however did not exist from the very beginning. At a very young age, we develop the need to please our loved ones in order to gain their company and appreciation and in order to be sociably acceptable and correct.
As adults later on, we often wonder at some point:
While I am being kind, I am doing everything right, I am trying to please everyone and do the right thing for them, why do I feel alone? Why do they not appreciate and respect me? Even if I succeed, why does it feel that what I do is never enough? Why am I not happy?
But, on second thought, how am I sure that what I am doing is the right thing? What one person considers as the right thing to do, another person finds it totally wrong. Thus no matter what I do, for one of those people I will always be considered “bad” and “wrong” and it is not my fault.
And while I am trying my best to succeed and be nice to everyone, instead of being rewarded why am I being “punished” with anxiety, misery, depression, a feeling of emptiness?
The answer to all these questions lies in the beliefs, the knowledge, the past experiences, the opinions, the advice, the fears that we all have collected and adopted through the years and turned into our own philosophy in order to survive and succeed in our society, in order to be loved and accepted.
All this knowledge that is gathered in a person’s memory in different time periods from his environment contains contradicting beliefs and advice. We often do not even perceive these contradictions, because the information was stored in our memory gradually.
All psychological and psychosomatic problems we experience have their cause in this contradicting knowledge and beliefs we have gathered, unintentionally most of the times, in order to meet our loved ones’ expectations, to be loved, to be normal and socially acceptable. Thus the method applied during a session is finding these contradictions and eliminating them, by making the mind ‘translate’ and ‘forget’ unnecessary information and replace it with reality.
