Stamp Album Metaphor Script
Shrink your problems and lock them away
Stamp Album Metaphor Therapy
This metaphor script uses NLP type image manipulation to help your client deal with past issues. The Stamp Album metaphor works by getting you to transform your issues into metaphoric objects, and then getting you to visualize changing them. Once your mind accepts that these things can be changed, even a little, then your own healing ability starts. The process will continue until your mind thinks the issue doesn't seem important any more. It can then be put away for good.
EXTRACT FROM STAMP ALBUM SCRIPT
| Memory | And when you think about [the thing that happened]... a long time ago now... you can remember how it was... and you can safely go through all the images you have of that time, all the pictures, all the things you feel about it...bring them to mind... and as you do... something about them reminds you that they belong in a different time... | M | Connect to the traumatic event |
| Capability | and I would like you to go through each of those images, and just imagine that there is an album .... like a photo album... and because you can imagine that... you can also imagine how you are going to put those images into the album ... | V | isolate the images |
| Capability | and you take each picture and you look at it once...and after considering it, you can decide whether you want to even have that image any more... and if you don't.... then because you know how you feel about it, you can shrink it down until it fits.... and then you can put it into that album... | V | alter the image |
| and because you have put it into that album, you can choose to cover it up, with some plastic maybe... seal it in there... and everytime you do that... that means you can take the next image and shrink that one down too... and every time you shrink it down... that means you are moving it away from wherever it is now...and you are putting it into that album... | > | deal with all images | |
| and I wonder if you have ever seen a stamp album... maybe you saved stamps when you were young? Or maybe you had a friend who saved stamps... and kept them in an album... | M | Develop the metaphor | |
| Capability | and you can take all those images... all those pictures... all the memories and the feelings.... and every one of them can be shrunk down.... and stuck in an album... and when one page is full you can turn it over... and start filling the next page up... | ||
| and a stamp album is like a photograph album.... only very small.... because there can be dozens of pictures on the one page, maybe hundreds... and every time you turn each page you can forget all those images.... | = | Reframing | |
| Behavior | you can just let then go into the past... and they will be there forever... like vague memories of messages posted long ago that no one can recall... | M | |
| and that means you can imagine... each of those images as you put them onto the page.... fading...like tiny pictures kept in the dark... | |||
