a full Symbolic Modelling session in English and French
Penny Tompkins and James Lawley
Below
is a 45 minute unedited video of a Symbolic Modelling demonstration. It took place on an Xtrema.fr training in Paris in October 2010.
The session starts slowly while the client maps his metaphor landscape in perceptual space. Each apparent resolution is met with a binding pattern until a spontaneous denouement occurs and the changes are matured.
Nine months after the session the client reviewed the video and emailed us:
Josick [Gurmeur]asked me if I am Ok for putting this demo on youtube, of course I am. Then I realized (with shame) that I forgot to thank you for this great adventure we passed together. Even if I know that I was here for learning clean and not working on myself I have to confess that this demo help me to end a huge work on me started many years before. We’ve got in France an expression : “The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing” and I guess that sometimes it’s better to let the heart speak as he wants instead of looking for a reason. I hope this video helps anybody to see the power of 'clean' even if they won’t understand what I’m taking about !
