Андрей Ермошин – Things in The Body (страница 16)

«I did.» The patient exhaled and opened her eyes. Those are all the issues about stones that remained to be solved.

In the chest there can be , a kind of «loads’ of experiences, for example, in the form of  «layers’ layers of mica.

A number of formations can be built on the type of «» Outside there is a layer of younger experiences; deeper one is older and «harder.» Outside, for example, there is , and inside there is . nesting dolls. rubber iron

Communicating vessel. The syndrome of “stone-tree’

As a rule, in the process of work, it is found out that the formation inside the body specifically violates the holistic state of the patient. The syndrome caused by the concentration of sensations of heat-heaviness in one of the zones of the body is usually dual. It is accompanied by its second component – the relative depletion of other areas of the body. In my opinion, this is a very significant observation.

In case of «overloaded head’, it can be assumed, that the feet «shrunk.» There is always a kind of combination of «overfilled’ and «empty’ zones. The image of the communicating vessel is quite suitable for the observed phenomena. The «stone’ in the chest de-energizes hands, the «spider’ or «octopus’ in the stomach takes strength from the legs, which can even shake from weakness, and from the head, which ceases to think.

In the therapeutic phase the process takes place in reverse order: calm in the abdomen leads to the filling of the periphery. We will return to this phenomenon later. Now it is important to keep in mind that if the patient talks about the «stony’ head and «wooden’ or «watery’ legs, then we are not talking about two independent phenomena, but about two sides of the same phenomenon.

The axis of interacting sensations can be in all directions: «hump’ on the back means «squeezed chest’ on the front (back-front), head like means ’dwarf’s legs’ (top-bottom), « on the right shoulder means «deprivation’ of the left thigh (diagonal interdependency). a snowball a yoke with buckets’

Probably, the Chinese contemplate such phenomena as a violation of the balance between Yin and Yang. These syndromes are described as Biao-Li (surface-interior), Ge-Han (heat-cold), Shi Hu (fullness-emptiness), and treated them accordingly, by «heating the cold’, «cooling the heat’, «filling the emptiness’, or «deflecting the fullness’. 31

The correlation between the verbal testimony of the patient and the indications of the drawing test is also rather interesting.

Libins’ test

The so-called ideographic test, which has been already mentioned above, is used in the work as well. This test was developed in Russia by V. V. Libin and A. V. Libin. A patient is given the task to draw a symbolic figure of a person of squares, circles, and triangles. The number of elements in the figure is 10. As a rule, this kind of a drawing is highly informative.

In connection with the objectives of the study, the test data are used in a special way: on the one hand, as a very convenient beginning of the work, on the other, as a verifier of information coming from the patient verbally. In general, the use of the test is aimed at the tasks of psychocatalysis of bodily sensations. Let me remind you once again that this is different from the author’s expert use of the test data.

More than 1000 patients were examined. Many of them were examined in dynamics. It turned out that there is a clear correlation between what the patients report, referring to the sensations in the body, and what they draw.

The zone of the body, concentrating the sensations now, appears in the figure «marked’ as extension (a circle) or an additional element. The «de-energized’ zone is a narrowing (a triangle). The image clearly represents the distribution of internal sensations in the body. This is especially clear if the patient is offered to draw a figure, and then to calibrate the colors used on the scale of pleasantness, just as it is done in Lüscher’s test (my modification. – A. E.). The most «unpleasant’ color shows the most problematic zone, the most «pleasant’ is a zone with positive potential. A series of drawings, respectively, is a series of problem states of the patient in varying degrees of activation. Double expressiveness – geometric and color – especially facilitates the identification of the locus of experiences. (In this edition the color solutions of patients’ drawings are not reproduced).

Working with images has many clinically useful outputs that allow to use the potential of somatopsychotherapy. Following the main line of presentation, we do not dwell on them in detail. We note only that the patient’s feeling of the composition of their inner space exists independently of the efforts of the somatopsychotherapist and emerges in many objective phenomena. The constructive drawings with their « ’ are only one of them. The bodily hypostasis of experience is an integral part of the human experience. narrow and wide
