DWQA QuestionsCategory: Healing ModalitiesDoes the emphasis of Compassion Key on using leading suggestions that evoke negative emotions (e.g., “I’m so sorry you’re sad, I’m so sorry you were rejected, I’m so sorry you’re afraid you’ll fail…”) help people connect usefully with past traumatic events, or is this a trade-off in terms of possibly promoting re-live of the trauma?

Offering a litany of potentially painful recognitions of suffering to someone, is a way of reflecting a kind of harmony with their dilemma, and that is the benefit of compassionate treatment because it is, at once, a validation but a meaningful support showing an understanding of what the person is going through. But this does come with potential consequences of amplifying the feelings. Up to a point, it does help in the recounting of the nature of the negativity and its consequences, through identifying what the trauma meant and caused to happen within. That amplification can indeed, lead to relive and make the experience an uncomfortable and unpleasant one, if the attempt to resolve things falls short. And that is quite possible to happen, given people have mountains of old negative karma and all of the events in question harbor painful negative emotions of many severe circumstances. So this is a downside of the approach compared to Holographic Memory Resolution, which scrupulously avoids all leading language. So it does not invite a widening or a deepening of the suffering, but only to recall as an observer, more than reliving an experience what the feelings are in the scene as an open-ended and non-leading question. That is a safer way to navigate and in most cases, quite effective to allow connecting to the problem for working on its resolution.
