Client Reality - What I (don't) Want

Consider the following (real) transcript:

• C: "I want to be focused". Both hands move forward in a narrow corridor
• T: "And what's it like when your focused?"
• C: "Well I'm not scattered." Hands move out indicating a circle of space.
• T: "That's right your not...and what are you?"...Etc
  

This reality includes both the positive and the negative aspects of the concept "focused". Ie It includes "focused" and {not} "focused" (using predicate calculus)

It appears to be a common model that a concept includes its negative {not}.

This can be used as a useful check:

• And when you're feeling this [resource], what else are you not feeling?
• [Is the answer positive or negative {not}?]
• As you feel this [resource] what else are you becoming aware of now?
• [Is the answer positive or negative {not}?]
• And what else are you not aware of?
• etc

Possible Spatial Predicates

Narrow, focus, move through

Predicate Calculus

Particular - focus on one - deductive

All things other than {wider set} - inductive to much wider set
