Beth, this is a risk if the client does not stop and deal with the distress that comes using the resources that are built into this approach. Pushing into the distress (which we do not do in this approach) can pair the calm scene with the trauma. If the client isn’t experiencing distress in this approach (which is what we want), then the calm scene will not be paired with the bad memory.
What if a client is fearful of linking a resourced state (calm place) with the bad memory. That it will stay forever linked.
Thank you
