Future pacing can be either positive or negative.
We have all practised negative future pacing at some point in our lives. It is when we imagine the worst possible future. For example, you're about to give a presentation, and your mind races: “What if I forget everything? What if I trip over my words? What if my trousers fall down? What if they all laugh at me?”
Or perhaps before a holiday, a voice whispers, “What if the plane crashes? What if we lose our passports? What if the scanner detects something? What if the hotel is a scam?”
What is a Metaphor?
We all use metaphors, either knowingly or otherwise; in everyday speech, for example, someone may be described as ‘light as a feather’ or ‘a hard nut to crack’ or we might describe ourselves as ‘going round in circles’ when we can’t reach an immediate solution to a problem or if people are in trouble we might say that ‘someone will come down on them like a ton of bricks’.
For a new hypnotherapist, guiding clients through abreactions can be a little disturbing the first time it happens. Of course, you will get used it after a while and fortunately, abreactions don't happen too often, but when they do, it is important for the therapist to remain calm and in control of the situation.
