As a client, it is helpful to take responsibility for and plan one’s own re-emergence instead of assuming that someone else will do it for one. 


This, in a broad sense, will include the finding and training of one’s own counselors. In a more specific way, it will include the planning of each individual session ahead of time (with the plans able to be put aside or postponed if one’s counselor has been thinking well and comes up with an even more effective plan for the session). In detail, it includes memorizing specific commitments, commitments against internalized oppression, “frontier” commitments, and a litany of self-validations to run through when alone or without attention from others, in order to block the distress of a pattern from invading and taking over one’s mind. 


This sort of in-chargeness can operate both in and out of session. “Holding” or “keeping” directions and commitments between sessions disrupts the chronic hold of patterns on oneself, and taking physical action can often disrupt a pattern when it is difficult to contradict it emotionally or intellectually.
