PAIN TREATMENT/CREATIVE IMAGINATION SCALE: AGE REGRESSION
Keep your eyes closed. By directing your thinking, you can bring back the feelings that you experienced when you were in primary school — in first, second, third, fourth and fifth grade. Think of time going backwards, going back to primary school. Feel yourself becoming smaller and smaller. Let yourself feel your hands small and tiny, and your legs and your body, small and tiny. As you go back in time, feel yourself sitting at a big desk. Notice the floor beneath you. Feel the top of the desk. You may feel some marks on the desk top — or maybe it’s a smooth, cool surface. There may be a pencil slot. Perhaps even a large yellow pencil. Feel the underside of the desk top and you may feel some chewing gum. Observe the other children around you, and the teacher and the bulletin board, the blackboard, the bookshelves and the windows. Smell the chalk dust or the paste you do your projects with. You may hear the other children and the teacher speaking. Now just observe and see what happens around you. Now tell yourself that it’s all in your own mind — and bring yourself back to the present.
