TAI Session for a Person Who Must Speak in Public but Feels So Stressed He Fear Vomiting
Mr. C. contacted me because, in less than a week, he will have to speak in front of an audience of several hundred people. He enjoys doing this, volunteers to do it, and has been doing it for several years. However, every time, what he fears most in the world occurs: stress causes him to vomit in front of the audience.
Even if he doesn’t eat, he still expels bile.
This time, he doesn’t want it to happen again. He is ready to do whatever it takes to handle the situation because it is very important to him.
Hum!
I observe that, in reality, it’s not the stress of speaking in public that causes the vomiting but rather the fear of vomiting in public.
“Yes, that’s it!” he replies.
So, I investigate to understand what might increase his stress to the point of vomiting on stage.
I identify that he has expectations regarding different people and fears disappointing them. For one person, he should be blonde, for another, brunette…
But this is not sufficiently activating.
Then we delve into the meaning of the word vomit in French. It can also mean to render. Does he have to “render” the text he has learned?
“Yes, a little, but not to the point of ‘rendering his meal,’” he tells me, because he knows his text well.
Then another symbolism of vomiting emerges: before vomiting, one experiences nausea, and in French, one says, j’ai mal au cœur (literally, “I have pain in my heart”).
Ah! This resonates with him: learning a text by heart and having to deliver it to the right person at the right time.
I ask him when he first found himself in a situation where he had to deliver a text or express himself in front of others, but had a bad experience that caused him to feel “pain in his heart.”
Immediately, he recalls a childhood scene: the first day in a new school, when the teacher pointed out that he hadn’t written his name correctly. He felt humiliated in front of the whole class.
The second image that comes to him is of himself in the schoolyard, vomiting, and he remembers that from that moment on, every attempt to express himself orally in front of an audience ended in systematic vomiting.
Okay, we now have two starting scenes to begin the TAI sequences.
First Scene
The meta-questions reveal that the representation is visual: he sees the teacher yelling but doesn’t hear what is being said; he only sees the teacher as an imposing, dominant figure.
When he connects with this representation:
- Physically, he feels blocked, paralyzed.
- Emotionally, he feels confusion.
- Mentally, there is emptiness.
We formulate the phrase:
- “I am Origin.”
Then, with his hands on the first Dantian:
- “I reclaim my power and release the energy embedded in this representation and everything it represents for me.”
Next, with his hands on the second Dantian:
- “I let go of all identifications and attachments to this representation and everything it represents for me.”
Finally, with his index and middle fingers on the third Dantian:
- “I generate order and coherence within myself regarding this representation and everything it represents for me.”
I ask him what has changed:
Now he sees the teacher as smaller and off to the side. The teacher no longer blocks his path, and he no longer feels stuck. The teacher no longer intimidates him.
Second Scene
He wants to confront the image of himself vomiting in the schoolyard.
We perform another TAI sequence on this second representation.
The meta-questions indicate a lot of stress; the representation is primarily kinesthetic and auditory.
- Physically, he feels severe pain in his stomach and throat.
- Emotionally, he feels “pain in his heart.”
- Mentally, there is nothing.
With his hands on the first Dantian:
- “I reclaim my power and dissolve the structure of this representation.”
With his hands on the second Dantian:
- “I let go of all identifications and attachments to this representation.”
With his index and middle fingers on the third Dantian:
- “I generate the greatest coherence within myself regarding this representation.”
After a deep sigh, he spontaneously exclaims:
- “But that teacher is mean and cruel! Oh, that’s what I’ve been holding in my heart all this time! Oh! I was able to say it, express it without fearing punishment. I can say what I feel without fearing I’ll vomit. Now I can do it.”
Okay.
I then ask him to imagine himself on stage, in front of his future audience…
He still feels tightness in his throat and fears that his stomach might return food instead of the text he has memorized.
I point out that the teacher had also attacked his identity, the very identity he thought he knew “by heart.”
This resonates with him, and he incorporates it into his visualization of himself on stage in the coming days.
We perform a third TAI sequence:
He imagines himself on stage, speaking from his identity as a being, delivering the text he has learned by heart.
The representation is complete: visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and kinesthetic.
He still feels his throat is blocked; the words won’t come out.
He feels as if his stomach is emptying into his throat.
- Emotionally, he feels disappointed.
- Mentally, he thinks: “I still haven’t succeeded.”
With his hands on the first Dantian:
- “I reclaim my power and dissolve the structure of this representation.”
With his hands on the second Dantian:
- “I let go of all identifications and attachments to this representation.”
With his index and middle fingers on the third Dantian:
- “I generate the greatest coherence within myself regarding this representation.”
I ask him what remains of the representation:
The tight throat, nausea, and vomiting…
There is nothing left, only a slight sensation in his throat.
But he says it’s okay, it will be fine, and he even feels comfortable enough to improvise if necessary because he knows his subject by heart. He feels joyful!
End of the TAI session after the phrase regarding the ongoing change and the harmonization phrase.
A few days later, I receive a message from Mr. C.:
- “It went really well! For the first time! Thank you for your help.”
Thanks to the help of TAI.
Note: The session was conducted remotely, over the phone via audio.
