Four Fundamental Factors
In chapter IX, Billy gives us four fundamental factors of self-psychotherapeutic analysis and treatment or analysis and treatment from professionals--meaning the actual steps you need to do to heal and repair your own psyche and/or seek professional help. Either way, the process seems the same.
1.The tracking down of distortions of reality
- Tract down the most important problem-causing thoughts through a systematic self-observation.
- Evaluate and note the feelings which arise from them—which throw the psyche into turmoil.
- Write down your findings in case these cancan later be assessed by you or by the specialist.
2. The recognition of distortions of reality
- Learn to recognize all which distort reality.
- Learn to become conscious of the wrong, disturbing, damaging and illness-inducing nature.
- Learn to free yourself from wrong assumptions, thoughts and feelings.
3. The creation of a new attitude/conviction and the experience of it and the living of it
- Recognize the need and the importance of defining distorted thinking and wrong convictions.
- Create new and opposing thoughts and convictions which form the world of feelings and, through this, the psyche.
- Live and experience the new thoughts, feelings and convictions thereby creating a new, healthy psyche. The lived experience secures the new convictions as healthy, neutral-positive-equalised thoughts and feelings.
4. The conscious, neutral-positive-equalised changing, and new programming, of the consciousness, thoughts, feelings as well as the psyche and subconsciousness
"If one gets a successful psychotherapy behind oneself, then that not only means a complete change for one of one’s consciousness and subconsciousness, rather it also means that one gets a very painful phase behind oneself, in which one often calls oneself into question just as much as one is called into question by one’s fellow human beings. But, joyfully, one slowly, increasingly perceives that one’s consciousness and subconsciousness, as well as nerves and other physical-autonomic reactions, have changed for the better and for the good, just as have one’s strategies for overcoming problems. And, last but not least, one also recognizes and accepts that one’s thought-reactions and feeling-reactions and convictions, which previously determined one’s life, undergo a new evaluation, and equalize themselves neutral-positively."
