introduction: How does The Method Work?

1/ Recognize when something’s bothering you. The clue will be your mood.

2/ Write about it. To allow thoughts, feelings, and memories to bubble up spontaneously.

3/ Focus on the feeling. Not what happened.

4 / Be honest with yourself. Don’t censor your feelings or what you write.

question #1: what’s the feeling?

Look into your mind’s eye. What do you see? What stands out? Are there any emotional or physical feelings?

question #2: How does it make me feel?

question #3: Why does the feeling bother me?

Things you might uncover:

1/ Hurt. This is at the root of all painful feelings. I don’t matter. He/she hates me. I look stupid. When we’re hurt, we don’t feel loved. Humans inherently desire to love and to be loved. Deny this about yourself and you’ll be denying your true essence.

2/ Fears. About anything. One’s security and survival: I don’t manage my money well. Which could lead to: I’m going to run out of money. Fear of rejection: Nobody  loves me. Fear of failure: I’m terrified that my project won’t go well. Which could lead to: I don’t know what I’m doing. Fear of abandonment: If I don’t do what he/she wants, he/she will leave me.

3/ Guilt about having done something wrong: I feel guilty for treating him/her badly. Or shame about what others might think: I’m ashamed that I’m not better informed. Shame and guilt can be very painful feelings for some people. It’s common to want to deny these feelings.

4/ Anger. He/she was mean to me. I was blamed when it wasn’t my fault. Mom/Dad loves my brother/sister more. Repressed anger is a buried painful feeling.

5/ Beliefs and judgments. Usually, about one’s inadequacies and unworthiness: I’m not smart enough. I’m not attractive. I’m not worthy of being loved. I’m lazy. I don’t know what I’m doing. Also, about the world: Life is hard.

6/ Rejection, abandonment, and betrayal. By those we love the most. My father/mother didn’t return my affections. My siblings left me behind. My partner didn’t agree with me when it counted.

7/ Admissions. About difficult truths: This job is harder than I expected. About positive truths. In spite of having a bad romantic experience: I want to be loved.

8/ Reflections. Sometimes what’s bothering us has to do with another person – aspects of the person, how they act, what they’ve said or done. Be open to the possibility that the reason this bothers you is because the person is reflecting an aspect of yourself that you don’t like. This is related to admissions, admitting things we don’t like about ourselves.

question #4: Has the feeling happened before?

See what bubbles up spontaneously. Or try to recall significant life experiences, especially from childhood, with difficult family members and/or caretakers.
