When we first hear about biodecoding, it is natural to be curious about what happens in a session. This therapeutic approach, which seeks to identify and release emotional conflicts, has grown in popularity, but many people wonder how a typical session unfolds. In this article, I will guide you step by step through what happens in a biodecoding session, from the first contact with the therapist to the emotional release it aims to achieve.
Preparing for the session
Initial consultation
Before the first session, there is usually an initial consultation. This first meeting allows the therapist to learn about your history, your current concerns, and the physical or emotional symptoms you want to work on. It is a space where you can express what has led you to seek help through biodecoding.
Setting a goal
During this initial consultation, you and the therapist will work together to define the goals of the session. These goals will guide the whole biodecoding process, making sure that the work done is relevant and beneficial for you.
How the session unfolds
Exploring your personal history
Once the session begins, the therapist will guide you through your personal history. This exploration aims to identify moments of conflict or trauma that could be related to your current symptoms. Sometimes these moments are not obvious and need in-depth analysis to be uncovered.
Techniques used
- Lifeline analysis: The therapist may use this technique to identify significant events in your life that could have triggered an emotional conflict. These events are reviewed to better understand their impact on your health.
- Family tree review: Another common technique is exploring family patterns that could be influencing your emotional conflicts. The therapist will help you identify whether certain problems repeat in your family and how they could be affecting you.
The aim of these techniques is to help identify the “bioshock”, the specific moment of emotional conflict that is causing your physical or emotional discomfort.
Decoding the emotional conflict
The decoding process
Once the conflict has been identified, the therapist will guide you through a process of emotional release. This process, known as decoding, may include expressing repressed emotions, reprogramming limiting beliefs, and establishing new perspectives that support your wellbeing.
Release techniques
Some of the techniques that might be used at this stage include guided visualisation, inner dialogue therapy or conscious breathing exercises. These tools will help you release the conflict and integrate new ways of thinking and feeling into your daily life.
What happens after the session
Integration and reflection
After the session, it is essential to reflect on what was worked on. This integration time will allow you to take in the new perspectives and the emotions released, helping you incorporate these changes into your everyday life.
Follow-up
Depending on how complex your situation is, follow-up with additional sessions may be needed. These sessions will help consolidate progress and continue addressing other emotional conflicts that may arise.
