Вступ: це демонстрація символічної, метафоричної роботи з Модуля 3 Інтегративного системного коучингу. Монстри часто зустрічаються в символічних образах, і важливо, щоб ми не відкидали і не знищували їх, а інтегрували. Під час інтеграції метафорична робота часто спонтанно переходить до роботи з конкретними сімейними проблемами. Стенограму було зроблено під час міжнародного онлайн-тренінгу у 2020 році.
KOSJENKA
This time we can focus on monsters and black holes, and we’ll see what else we’ll have time for. Did anybody encounter a monster in your internal travels that you would like to have a chat with? (Silence.) You’re either a very healthy or a very shy group. Can anybody Уявіть собі. що у них всередині монстр?
АНГЕЛА
Я можу.
KOSJENKA
Thank you, Angela. Something I just remembered, sometimes when a client tells me they can’t imagine something I ask them, Can you imagine that you can imagine it? It doesn’t always work, but it does often help to jump over that mental barrier.
АНГЕЛА
Я знаю, що ми повинні були говорити про монстрів, але я щойно дещо згадав. Коли ми працювали над сімейними картами, я побачив темного або чорного ангела, який стояв за спиною моєї матері, і я хотів запитати, чи можна його вважати демоном або монстром.
KOSJENKA
It does. A monster doesn’t have to be a traditional dragon or a devil from hell. It can be any kind of creature you find in your waking dreams that you are confused about. Angela, please close your eyes. Remember that dark angel behind your mother. Is it a big angel, a small angel, is it angry, is it sad…?
АНГЕЛА
This is not actually an angel, it’s more of something between a bat and a dragon, but his wings are more like angel-like. It’s very big.
KOSJENKA
Цікаво. Який вираз обличчя у цієї істоти, чим би вона не була?
АНГЕЛА
He reminds me of those gargoyles on the Notre-Dame cathedral although he’s not made of stone, he’s moving, but that’s how he looks like, his expression.
KOSJENKA
Яка емоційна енергія йде від нього?
АНГЕЛА
It’s hard to find an emotion, so I will say what’s happening with me. The creature starts with a dark cloud and then it solidifies until it becomes stone. I feel a cramp in my stomach and I feel like throwing up. When I think about it further, I feel like it’s there to take something away from us. And my mother looks terrified of him and actually I am in a different position, but my mother really does feel terrified.
KOSJENKA
Imagine to step up to this creature and say “Hi” in a friendly way, as friendly as you can. Maybe even give it your hand. What happens?
АНГЕЛА
It’s really hard to greet him because when I come closer he’s so tall I can’t even see his face, but I’ll try to say Hello. He nodded as he said Hello back and right now his face is hanging above me as he bows down to greet me.
KOSJENKA
Добре. Запитайте цю істоту: "Чого ти хочеш найбільше? Що воно каже?
АНГЕЛА
Він хоче забрати якусь форму невинності, він хоче облизати мене всю і залишити свою слину на мені.
KOSJENKA
Запитайте цю істоту, чому це важливо для вас?
АНГЕЛА
It is to commemorate something, it has to be like a statue. It’s to make it memorable.
KOSJENKA
I’m a bit confused, but never mind. What do you feel would happen if you allowed it to lick you all over?
АНГЕЛА
I get the feeling that it would break my mother down. It’s more connected to my mother, I’m just a pawn here, this is not connected directly to me.
KOSJENKA
Відчуй, як би зламалася твоя мама, якби ти дозволив цьому монстру облизати тебе з ніг до голови. Можливо, ти дізнаєшся щось, чого не повинен знати. Може, мама вважає, що це завдасть тобі болю? Або щось інше.
АНГЕЛА
Yes, it’s about the hurt. And it’s her hurt.
KOSJENKA
Відчуваєш, як болить твоя мама?
АНГЕЛА
She’s terrified, numb and all dirty. She’s all covered in that saliva.
KOSJENKA
Запитайте чудовисько: "Ти знаєш, як сильно моя мама тебе боїться?". Що скаже чудовисько?
АНГЕЛА
Монстр став трохи меншим і готовий до діалогу.
KOSJENKA
Запитайте монстра, чи хоче він щось сказати вашій мамі.
АНГЕЛА
I have two parallel answers. He says he’s sorry but on the other hand it is supposed to be a secret, nobody is supposed to know that he’s sorry. He’s scary and dangerous, but today he’s sorry. This chat itself scared him a little bit, because this was supposed to be a secret. It scared him because we’re even talking about it, that’s why he got smaller.
KOSJENKA
Так, сімейні таємниці часто можуть з'являтися на сімейній карті у вигляді темної або дивної плями, або дуже схожої на те, що описує Анжела. Анжело, запитай монстра: "Чого ти насправді хочеш? Що ти насправді намагаєшся тут зробити?
АНГЕЛА
The monster would like to be free, he would like to fly away, he doesn’t want to stay here and keep the guard.
KOSJENKA
Чи несе вона охорону? Якщо так, то кого або що вона охороняє?
АНГЕЛА
He’s kind of guarding the whole family’s innocence and virginity.
KOSJENKA
Цікаво. Звідки?
АНГЕЛА
Basically it’s like the danger can come from any source or any direction. I feel some sort of panic. It’s like he’s there because danger can come from everywhere.
KOSJENKA
At the same time, innocence often includes ignorance. And if you’re ignorant it’s difficult to make good decisions. Ask the monster, How old do you think I am?
АНГЕЛА
П'ять.
KOSJENKA
Ok. Now gently explain to the monster it’s been a long time since you’ve been five. Say to the monster, I think you’ve been asleep for a while. I’m quite adult and quite strong. What says the monster?
АНГЕЛА
Нічого.
KOSJENKA
Гаразд. Попросіть монстра: "Будь ласка, відкрий свій плащ або зніміть костюм. Покажи мені, що ти ховаєш.
АНГЕЛА
It’s a priest.
KOSJENKA
Цікаво. Запитайте священика, що він там робить, або що він робив?
АНГЕЛА
I get a vision that he’s blocking my mother’s mouth.
KOSJENKA
Поглянь на свою матір. Вона так боїться того ксьондза. Можеш здогадатися, чого вона так боїться?
АНГЕЛА
Моє серце калатає, і я відчуваю, що якщо вона буде погано поводитися, він може прийти, коли захоче, і покарати її. А я, як моя мати, я відчуваю себе матір'ю, мені соромно, що мене знову можуть покарати.
KOSJENKA
If you are mother, sounds like you were punished before. Guess who punished you and what for. Maybe you (mother) were naughty as a little girl, maybe you had sex with somebody you shouldn’t have, maybe you even got pregnant, maybe you got your clothes dirty as a kid, anything.
АНГЕЛА
Це покарання за спонтанність, за непродуманість рішень.
KOSJENKA
Скільки років мамі, коли вона боїться бути покараною за спонтанність?
АНГЕЛА
П'ять, чотири.
KOSJENKA
Тепер, будь ласка, уявіть, що ви - монстр. У той же час ви хочете лизати Анжелу та її маму, ви хочете захистити їх і якимось чином ви також хочете покарати їх, або, можливо, вони собі це уявляють. Ти хочеш, щоб вони так тебе боялися?
АНГЕЛА
This feeling of fear, that’s actually, that’s the way to lick people. I don’t feel the connection with myself, to be honest, this is all connected to my mother. I’m not even able to look at myself.
KOSJENKA
It sounds like your mother used to be spontaneous and then did something she was punished for. What is important here is how to get the monster to help. Imagine that you are the monster. Look at Angela’s mother through monster’s eyes. Do you want her to be so afraid?
АНГЕЛА
Ні, для мене найголовніше - захистити сім'ю.
KOSJENKA
Чого ви хочете для своєї сім'ї? Як ви хочете їх захистити?
АНГЕЛА
By taking away spontaneity, so that they don’t make mistakes.
KOSJENKA
Якщо ти монстр-священик, то хто тебе туди поставив? Може, тебе створила мати?
АНГЕЛА
Yes, that’s my mother’s creation.
KOSJENKA
Sounds like your mother split off a part of herself and made it into a monster to prevent her from making mistakes. In the same time, what can she learn if she never makes mistakes? Maybe it’s not the monster’s decision. Say to mother, You are not five years old anymore. What says mother?
АНГЕЛА
She’s crying.
KOSJENKA
Say to mother, It’s ok to make mistakes. It’s normal, it’s human, good people make mistakes, it’s the fastest way to learn. What says mother?
АНГЕЛА
She’s still crying, but she’s not laying down anymore, she’s sitting up now.
KOSJENKA
Запитайте маму, чого вона насправді хоче в цей момент.
АНГЕЛА
Вона хоче відпочити.
KOSJENKA
Уявіть, що ви хочете дати мамі відпочити. Уявіть, що, можливо, мама може відпочити кілька днів, тижнів, місяців чи навіть років, якщо захоче.
АНГЕЛА
This is amazing because my mother for seventy something years didn’t allow herself to rest, and now she’s resting.
KOSJENKA
Можливо, той священик-монстр був там, щоб тримати її під контролем. Не тільки від помилок, але й від того, щоб фізично дозволити собі бути людиною. Уявіть собі, щоб купити мамі гарну відпустку. Можливо, навколосвітню подорож. Може, навіть подорож на Місяць, можливо, скоро це стане можливим, хто знає. Може, вона поїде на Гаваї, на Кариби, в Альпи, в Південну Америку. Може, вона просто захоче провести кілька місяців на пляжі. Тільки уявіть, що вона зможе по-справжньому відпочити і розслабитися, як ніколи в житті.
АНГЕЛА
Я дуже зворушений і емоційний тут, я хотів би взяти її у відпустку, але вона вибрала ботанічний сад і спостереження за квітами.
KOSJENKA
Усе гаразд. Вона може місяцями спостерігати, як ростуть квіти, якщо захоче.
АНГЕЛА
This priest now looks like he always was one of those toys pumped with air, so now the air stopped being pumped and he’s losing the air.
KOSJENKA
Good. Who taught mother that she shouldn’t rest and play?
АНГЕЛА
Її мати.
KOSJENKA
Попросіть пам'ять або душу вашої бабусі дати вашій мамі дозвіл бути людиною. Дати мамі дозвіл відпочивати, гратися, веселитися.
АНГЕЛА
Grandma is now explaining herself, she’s trying to say that’s not what she meant, she didn’t want to take it away from her, she didn’t want to take fun away from her, they didn’t have money, so if she destroyed her clothes, for example, they wouldn’t have money to buy her new ones. She was also the older sibling, so she was supposed to be there, to help. They just didn’t have money to allow themselves to relax.
KOSJENKA
It’s quite understandable for that time. I heard stories about kids in old times who had to leave their families and go to work as servants at the age of eight, ten, twelve. Your mother had it easier compared to that. Say to grandmother, I’m not here to blame you. I just need your help. What says grandmother?
АНГЕЛА
She’s willing to help, she’s also crying, she’s actually crying saying that she only wanted them well, but it turned out this way, her intentions were good. She’s willing to help. She’s moved.
KOSJENKA
Чудово. Просто попросіть її ще раз дати мамі дозвіл погратися, відпочити, розслабитися.
АНГЕЛА
Вона дала їй все це, а ще вона дала їй щось на кшталт дерев'яного ящика на колесах, щоб вона могла з'їжджати на ньому з пагорба.
KOSJENKA
Чудово. Це може бути досить кумедно. Уявіть, як мама котиться з пагорбів у цій коробці на колесах. Сподіваюся, вона б м'яко приземлилася.
АНГЕЛА
That’s how I see it. That’s a small hill that I’ve never seen with my own eyes, I just know it from the stories. I know that my grandparents were working at the university and the university gave them some place to stay and that hill, that’s how I imagined it. I can see her playing there.
KOSJENKA
Що тепер буде з монстром-священиком?
АНГЕЛА
It’s just a thing without air, flat.
KOSJENKA
Можливо, ви можете запропонувати монстру-священику перетворитися на песика, і він зможе приєднатися до вашої мами, щоб пограти з нею, а потім лизнути її, якщо захоче.
АНГЕЛА
Ні, насправді вся ця гума, з якої він був зроблений, була перетворена на великий м'яч, яким вони могли бити і гратися.
KOSJENKA
Гаразд, просто зверни увагу, що відбувається, коли мама може погратися з м'ячем.
АНГЕЛА
There is this brightness in the family now, it’s actually producing warmth. It’s light and warm now.
KOSJENKA
Чудово. Як це впливає на вас?
АНГЕЛА
I’ve just had a situation in my real life, I’ve scolded my daughter big time, because she wanted to take her best trousers to go roller-skating. This just came back to me, now it’s funny, I can laugh at it, it’s not so serious anymore.
KOSJENKA
Чудово. Схоже, що ти можеш розслабитися набагато більше, коли твоя мама теж розслаблена. Можливо, в наступні дні ти зможеш дослідити, як це може вплинути на твоє життя, коли твоя мама грає з гумовим м'ячем. Чудово, дуже дякую, Анжело.
АНГЕЛА
It’s me who’s thankful.
KOSJENKA
Ласкаво просимо. (До групи) Є питання чи коментарі?
КАРОЛІНА
Before I say what I want to say, I want to say to Angela, please keep in mind it might be my projections. Please don’t take it personally, it might not even be connected to you. First of all I want to say that I’m impressed, Kosjenka, that you are able to go through this with a smile and with positivity because my emotions were completely different, I felt anger during the demo. You said before that the monster can be a part of us. I wanted to ask if this monster could have symbolized something that happened to Angela’s mother. What I felt was that maybe Angela’s mother was actually not misbehaving, but that was given as an excuse for punishment. Which was not really punishment but something bad that was happening to Angela’s mother. So I actually thought of sexual abuse and when I heard about this monster becoming a rubber ball that you can kick, I felt happy for that that you can finally kick it. I think it might be my projections, maybe it was my ancestors, my family that had something like that in its history, but I was just wondering what you would say to that, Kosjenka.
KOSJENKA
First of all, if you have strong emotions about something that you are working on with a client, it’s very likely that the emotions are coming from something in your history. In the same time, the most common family secrets are abortions, sexual abuse, rape or affairs. So your guess wouldn’t be far off the mark in many cases. I did gently suggest that possibility when I gave Angela several options like, Maybe your mother got dirty, or, Maybe your mother had sex when she shouldn’t, maybe she got pregnant. But in the end it’s important to allow the client to come to their own experience and information. Keep in mind everybody, if you are simply guessing based on experience, it’s different than when you feel strong emotions about what is going on. If you have strong emotions it might be a good idea to explore them, it sounds like there might be something that needs resolving. Angela, would you like to comment?
АНГЕЛА
I also had some thoughts about that, about physical abuse, sexual abuse, but actually when I had to choose the reason I felt more excited about this freedom and frolicking. I felt more excitement about that, for many reasons, two of them most important. The first one, my mother told me a story when she was going with her older siblings to first day of pre-school or primary school, she was walking with this bag with shoes in it, she was excited, she was playing with them in the air, at some point they got lost in the trees and they were hanging off a tree. First she was beaten by her siblings, then she was beaten by her father and then she got a beating from her mother. So it wasn’t a nice experience and that was the first reason why I felt strongly about that choice. The second one is that of course sexual abuse is something very intimate, even if it’s not about us, if it’s about someone else, it’s still very intimate, and I didn’t feel so good about opening that, because we are a big group here. If I find a second bottom and feel that we should open it I will definitely say something about it, but for now I felt that this inner excitement was more important.
KOSJENKA
Чудово, дякую. Не соромтеся перевіряти свої підозри щонайменше трьома способами, але завжди залишайте останнє слово за клієнтом.
