Little Red Riding Hood Revised Reconditioning Technique ®
The LRRH Reconditioning Technique serves to outline, discover and reprocess the unconscious roots or 'program' underlying the outer reality.
The unique technique helps to access, identify and reprocess the unconscious addictive, abusive and sabotage programs or belief systems and repetitive emotional patterns which lead to betrayal, disappointment and the constant challenges and conflicts which surface in daily life. These belief systems and patterns lead to self-destruct tendencies where anger becomes disruptive and volatile.
By desensitizing and re-processing these unconscious roots, a reality of our birthright may re-emerge which mirrors the authentic self.
This technique allows for the gentle integration of personal insights, self-healing, illumination and transformation where questions evolve to become experimental answers.
The Logic Of The Unconscious Mind Is Similar To That Of A Child
The technique includes a projective drawing and story telling technique of the well-known children's story Little Red Riding Hood.' Each person will tell a different story which will correspondingly indicate how they are managing and perceiving their reality, i.e. their 'program'.
By addressing and re-processing the story, the corresponding life changes result
The balance of the Mother, Father and Child within may emerge, where the inner child may achieve new heights through play, fun and ecstacy
The technique has profound and lasting results, which occur in a relatively short period of time, depending on each person's rate of processing and integration. The process is preventative as well as curative.
