DIY Therapy: Chart

By Helen Papadopoulos

DIY Therapy Chart: an Emotional Healing Guide is an extension of my first book DIY Therapy: Simple Self-help Skills. In the initial publication I explain healing as the process of changing negative experiences, thoughts and feelings into something positive or life affirming. In this guidebook, I focus on the transformation of common negative emotions by teaching how to process and make sense of these feelings, which then paves the way for positive emotional states. Emotions, however, do not exist in a vacuum - they are inextricably linked to thoughts as one can trigger the other. For example, when thinking about the end of a relationship that meant much to you, feelings of sadness and sorrow may surface. Or you hear a song that is about the loss of a pet and start crying not understanding why because you have never lost a pet. Through the tears you begin to think about the person you lost and realize the connection. Thoughts and emotions also affect behavior. Sadness will usually result in withdrawal from life as you need the space and time to feel your pain. In other words, what you think, feel and do is interrelated...so when you are using this guide to transform your emotions you will also be changing your thoughts and behavior.The main therapeutic tool is the DIY Therapy Chart. It has three levels representing each aspect of a person - Mind, Body and Soul - with negative/red and positive/green emotions listed at each level. The aim is to figure out where you are emotionally on the red side before turning to the green side to see how to transform that emotion.The method used along with the Chart to aid the healing process is the Three-point Therapy Technique (T3) (TM). It is the framework from within which you can see the positive aspect of a painful feeling. This involves finding meaning, a lesson or purpose in a negative emotion.To assist you further, a NATURAL REMEDIES TABLE has been included listing aromatherapy oils and Bach flower essences which help to alleviate negative emotions as well as enhancing positive ones.Happy Healing.
