• Nothing to do Nowhere to go No one to be
• To see the epidemic in a completely different way. Instead see breakdown as a breakthrough. Where the breakdown can be welcomed as a shattering of personal and cultural illusions and the potential breakthrough of the true self.
• Maybe start with yourself. You could observe how your story has played out here and rather than see this as a mistake, welcome this as an opportunity to deeply challenge your own core beliefs. This will be a subtle invitation to Janet to do the same.
• Maybe it’s because ... after the conversations about the effects of your missed session both you and Janet have taken a step back from each of your stories and started to distinguish between fact and fiction. You’ve started to see what are ‘creations of the mind’.
• The old pattern would have been to become upset, passive and take the day off, casting her boss in the role of Persecutor, as she had with her husband for most of their marriage. Of course, the whole scenario would have all felt very real, a hologram of her life that would have confirmed once again her story about herself and the world.
