 Hello, this is Bob Cook here. I'm doing a short presentation on how to work with Charlie Ego State, which I presented before in various places. I've done a very short video here, just talk about what I think may be some of the most important parts of it. Okay, the major methods to work with the Charlie Ego State, that means to get to the pass script decisions and look at how the connections between the past and the present have been lost, and specifically looking at how the child Ego State is the historical Ego State when looking at fixated stuff deficits, and how the person sabotages themselves being an adult. That means in the here and now. Okay, the major methods I use when actually helping class get to the Charlie Ego State, or in other words how to facilitate the whole process so we can get to the Charlie Ego State. First of all I contract for that, so I talk about what the purpose of going to their child is about, and talk more about how they sabotage themselves and what they want to the future at that point. But the major three ways that I use come from Erskine's ideas, and Erskine's methodology from integrative cycle therapy. I mean he was a transactionalist, developed the whole methods of how to work with the child. So these three methods are inquiry, attunement, and involvement. Inquiry is asking questions in an open way, utilizing your curiosity, being specific, but make sure the questions are open and not closed. Open means exploring, not closing down, not demanding a yes and no answer, but actually exploring gently with the client through their different developmental ages. Attunement means that you're attuned to the client in a rhythmic way, with their pacing, with their rhythm, and also developmentally attuned to their particularly age that they might have regressed to or moved to, specifically of course, if they moved to Child Eager State. And of course you need to be involved, you need to be actually with the client. Of course if you're attuned to the client then you will be involved by definition. Okay so the major three methodologies of getting to the Child Eager State is inquiry, attunement, and involvement, according to Richard Erskine. Okay so now let's move to how come you're going to the Child Eager State. So you're looking for the script core decisions, the makeup, the whole life plan, or the mini script for the person. You're looking particularly for how the past, present, enactments are created and how they enact their Child Eager State though unconscious in a way that's not useful for them in the present day. In other words sabotaging their chance to be healthy in terms of decisions and not stuck in some child unhelpful way of looking at the world. Of course by asking and inviting them into their Child Eager State you're helping them increase awareness of different parts of themselves and how they might be stuck in the past rather than the present. You're helping them make new decisions, new re-decisions to let go of the old sabotages and finally to have them anchor in the present the new decisions. And what's most important here that you're helping them actually be able to stay an adult and to utilize their child and adult and parent Eager States in the service of integration. Okay hope that was useful to you and speak to you soon. Bye bye.
