Holdover Feeling Recognition
Feelings hold patterns in place, unprocessed, non-specific, or unidentified feelings. The ability to name a feeling that holds the pattern in place begins the process of problem solving. At their present age, the feeling cannot harm them as it did when it first occurred and they have the right to modify their thinking and acting about it in the future.

Decision Change, Response Change
Once the feeling is recognized and reset as a less dangerous, the person can change their original decision and start a new set of responses (behaviors).

Story Rewriting, Pattern Reframing
As the decision changes, the life story and pattern change to fit the new decision. The emotion that held the old memory in place releases, and stories change to fit the new way of life. 

Negation of Pathology
Most people are afraid of their symptoms. They worry that something is ‘wrong with me’. When the clinician shows them that the problem is a pattern that they created, and approaches it logically as an extension of their experiences, the client sees the problem, not as something they cannot control, a disease, but as a pattern of responses they can change if they chose to do so. This approach reduces the stress associated with having an unspecified problem, uncontrolled disease, and allows conversion to a specific they chose.

Parental CSSB Analysis
This strategy explains where patterns came from in a person’s life. It shows how the caregiver passed the ‘sense of’ Care, Support, Safety and Boundaries (CSSB) to the client. Other information comes from the consistency of the CSSB that they received and the pattern they formed in reaction to the caregiver offerings.

Health Patterns (SAFARIM)
After the person recognizes and adjusts their original pattern, they can practice healthy patterns that include Spirituality, Attitude, Fulfillment, Autonomy, Reality, Integration, and Mastery.
