Location
The location of the bad feeling is important and can give you interesting insights. If your child sees a spikey pyramid in their tummy or a red fire in their head, this may help you understand why they have a tummy or headache in certain moments.

Most of the time the bad feeling will be in the body. Some kids may feel the feeling on top of their body. These are usually feelings of pressure to perform or a heavy mental load.

One bad feeling can also be felt in multiple places e.g. both hands or legs.

Shapes
Whatever shape your child sees is always right. The most common shapes children see are circles or balls, squares or cubes, triangles or pyramids, clouds, shadows, fluids, oil, slime, lava or fire.

Spikey objects for example often resemble hurtful feelings that cause pain. Big, heavy objects can be more challenging to remove and may require your help.

Colors
The color can give you insights about the intensity of a bad feeling. Typically, these feelings are seen in dark colors.

Over the years we’ve also recognized patterns. Anger is often seen as red, sadness blue, disgust greenish-brown, fears black and grey.

If it is seen as transparent, it can mean that this specific feeling is less of an issue. Maybe there is a stronger, more prominent bad feeling that needs to be found and removed first.

Remember also here, whatever color your child sees, is right for them.

Multiple feelings
Issues can have several bad feelings keeping it alive.

Exam anxiety for example can often have nervousness, fear of failure and insecurity connected to it. When your child visualizes themselves experiencing their issue make sure to ask about all the different negative feelings they are experiencing.

If there are multiple feelings you can either remove them all at once or one by one, depending on factors like age and maturity of your child.

The key here is to have your child visualize themselves in different moments. If your child has a fear of dogs, let them see scenes for example of themselves walking to school, visiting a friend with a dog or walking with you in public places.

Ask questions, how being in those moments makes them feel. Ask what exactly makes them afraid and why. Dig and don’t give up. Being thorough here can paint a clear picture of how many feelings are connected to the issue and need to be removed.

Once the bad feeling has been located and seen as objects, continue to the next step.
