GROUP PROCESSING: AREA ASSESSMENT



19 April 1954





This is an area assessment with Reach and Withdraw.



This process has a tendency to diminish a person's

havingness, which should be watched for.



Let's reach for the area where you were born. Let's spot

it, now let's withdraw from it. Now let's reach for it

again, now let's withdraw from it. Now let's reach for it

again; from right where you are, let's reach for it, and

withdraw from it. And let's again reach for the area where

you were born, and withdraw from it. And let's reach for

it, and withdraw from it. And reach for it, and withdraw

from it.



Okay. Now let's spot where your childhood home, earliest

one that you can spot now. If you spot earlier ones then go

to earlier ones. Now let's reach for that area, let's

withdraw from it. Now let's reach for it again, and let's

withdraw from it. If you found an earlier childhood home

let's reach for that, let's withdraw from it. Let's reach

for it. Let's withdraw from it.



Okay. Now let's reach for the home you liked best, let's

withdraw from it. Let's reach for the home you liked best,

and let's withdraw from it. Let's reach for it. Let's

alive or dead. Withdraw from her. Let's reach for her,

withdraw. Let's reach for her, withdraw. Let's reach for

her, withdraw. Let's reach for her, withdraw.



Now, it doesn't matter whether you know exactly where this

person is or not, but you have some idea of area or

instinct. So let's reach for your father wherever he is,

let's withdraw from him. Let's reach for him, let's

withdraw from him. Reach for him, withdraw. Reach for him,

effect upon. Somebody who was rather contemptuous of the

rest of existence and really didn't seem part of the rest

of existence. A person that you were unable to produce an

effect upon. Now let's locate the area where this occurred,

and let's reach for that person in that area, and let's

withdraw. Let's reach, and withdraw. Let's reach and
