Please read G.I.M.O.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Wanted: depth, alive<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thus, it\u2019s important to find out pretty soon whether the client is principally ready for lasting change \u2015 if not entirely, then to what degree. This is mainly related to his being ready for depth. For instance, see this small questionnaire<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each of the four G.I.M.O. elements has to be understood as depth-oriented, which is needed to reach the lasting change that doesn\u2019t come from surface-level<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s look somewhat into the fab four. Note that the following short descriptions may make it seem straightforward \u2013 which it is \u2013 and easy to implement \u2013 which it is not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Goals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The intended goal is not necessarily the first goal the client shows up with \u2015 for instance, to quit smoking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The client\u2019s real goal as a total person is the goal he can naturally grow towards, which accords with his inner being \u2015 for instance, to grow toward the state of non-smoker<\/a> by letting the smoking addiction diminish from the inside. Getting rid of the addiction is naturaly more permanent than to quit smoking with the addiction still intact and brooding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, a crucial aim of any AURELIS session is to come closer to the client\u2019s (frequently implicit at the start) goal and to align the concrete session toward this direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
