Reference: Course on Subject Clearing

Processing is the application of a procedure to bring about an improvement in a person’s condition. In Subject Clearing, the processes have been obtained from the study of Vedic Hinduism, Buddhism, Psychoanalysis and Scientology.

In Subject Clearing, you can always go back to a previously applied process and run it again.

HYPNOTHERAPY
The use of hypnosis for therapeutic purposes is referred to as “hypnotherapy.” It is applied to the resolution of anxiety, depression, hysteria and many other disorders by sorting out the anomalies in one’s thought structure underlying the viewpoint. There are many different approaches to hypnotherapy. The most workable approach is Cognitive therapy. There are other hypnotherapies, such as, Ericksonian therapy, Aversion therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, etc.

ERICKSONIAN THERAPY
This approach in hypnotherapy was advanced by Milton Erickson. The therapist works with the person conversationally to resolve his unwanted condition. He uses indirect suggestions and metaphors that assist the patient in assimilating the thought structure of his viewpoint. The patient knows why he is seeking therapy, he is desirous of benefiting from suggestions. The patient’s unconscious mind is listening and understanding much better than is possible for his conscious mind.

AVERSION THERAPY
Aversion therapy is a form of hypnotherapy that causes the patient to associate the stimulus with unpleasant sensations with the intention of quelling the targeted (sometimes compulsive) behavior. The stimulus is thus traded with unpleasant sensations and not assimilated. Lack of assimilation is a liability.

COGNITIVE THERAPY
Cognitive Therapy handles anomalies in the thought structure of a person’s viewpoint that he is not quite aware of. These anomalies distorts the person’s view. He thinks narrowly in black and white, overgeneralizes, and makes negative representation of the self. The therapist gives him reassurance and positive reinforcement. He helps the person explore his behavior back to the thought structure underlying his viewpoint.

The key cognitive therapy question is, “What was going through your mind just then?” Other questions are: Is there overgeneralization? Is there some alternative explanation? Is there a logic to that? When the person looks at the automatic thoughts arising from his thought structure, he starts to get better. 

BEHAVIORISM 
Behaviorism is a systematic approach to understanding the behavior of humans and other animals. It assumes that behavior is either a reflex evoked by a certain stimuli in the environment, or a consequence of that individual’s history. Although behaviorists generally accept the important role of heredity in determining behavior, they focus primarily on environmental events.

While behaviorism and cognitive schools of psychological thought do not agree theoretically, they have complemented each other in the cognitive-behavior therapies, which have demonstrated utility in treating certain pathologies, including simple phobias, PTSD, and mood disorders.

COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (CBT)
CBT includes a number of cognitive or behavioral psychotherapies that treat defined psychopathologies using evidence-based techniques and strategies. CBT focuses on challenging and changing cognitive distortions (such as thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes) and their associated behaviors to improve emotional regulation and develop personal coping strategies that target solving current problems. 

AUTO-SUGGESTIVE PRACTICE
The nature of the auto-suggestive practice may be, at one extreme, “concentrative”, wherein “all attention is so totally focused on the words of the auto-suggestive formula, e.g. ‘Every day, in every way, I’m getting better and better,’ and everything else is kept out of awareness” and, at the other, “inclusive”, wherein subjects “allow all kinds of thoughts, emotions, memories, and the like to drift into their consciousness”.

PAST LIFE REGRESSION
Past life regression is a method that uses hypnosis to recover what practitioners believe are memories of past lives or incarnations. The practice is widely considered discredited and unscientific by medical practitioners, and experts generally regard claims of recovered memories of past lives as fantasies or delusions or a type of confabulation. Past-life regression is typically undertaken either in pursuit of a spiritual experience, or in a psychotherapeutic setting. Most advocates loosely adhere to beliefs about reincarnation, though religious traditions that incorporate reincarnation generally do not include the idea of repressed memories of past lives.

NOTE: Past life regression is not important for the memory it may recover. It is important only for the relief it may bring to the present mental condition.
