"Wellness and healing are private, inner undertakings"
From the moment you decide to undertake af-x®
Therapy, what you can expect is likely to be very different
to any other therapy you've experienced in the past.
The first stage of the treatment is for you to become comfortable
with the information on this website, or that sent to you
by your local practitioner. This is very important. Being
familiar with this information makes sure that you have an
understanding of the approach and goes a long way in preparing
you to get the most out of your sessions. Your practitioner
will check that this is the case before scheduling the first
session.
af-x Therapy is about helping your subconscious mind
learn how to respond to things differently than before. It
seeks to deal with the real cause of your problems. So don't
be surprised if your practitioner seems to discourage discussion
of any presenting symptoms that may have unconsciously developed
from that cause.
Unlike the sessions in most other therapies, your af-x
Practitioner will do most of the talking and this approach
only ever involves three contact sessions.
In session one, you are helped to fully understand a number
of very important facts. Why this work is about your feelings
and not your thoughts or any particular event in your life.
How we all have the ability to change unconscious affect (feeling
or emotional) response patterns by privately re-assessing
old outdated affect learnings. And why you must do this in
the privacy of your subconscious mind without any intervention
from the practitioner, other than a skilful guidance through
this inner process.
Once you are comfortable with all this, your practitioner
will introduce you to the 'inner work' or quite simply 'assisted
self-attention'. This introduction is designed to show you
how easy this is, as "self-attention" is a natural state available
to us all with a little guidance.
Session two and three mainly involve this subconscious 'inner
re-learning work', with no emphasis on "experiencing past
events". It's a fact that we are all constantly taking on
information at levels we're not consciously aware of; just
look at the effect advertising and marketing have on us at
times! It doesn't matter what you consciously think happens
during these sessions, what is really important is what happens
afterwards, as a result of the subconscious communication
and learning that took place.
This three-session format has proven through
therapy feedback research to get the best results. Change
can sometimes take a little time, so your practitioner will
not be pressuring you for information about what you've experienced
during your sessions. He or she understands that the session-work
is just the very beginning of an ongoing process of subconscious
change that you will experience in your own way and one that
allows for continuous improvement. You will be encouraged
to simply allow that to gently go ahead and let it happen,
without consciously thinking too much about it.
