The Law And The Promise
To transform an undesirable situation involving others, especially a difficult person, construct imaginal scenes that depict the desired positive outcome. This can involve seeing the person as 'normal' and 'happy,' and hearing others confirm the positive change. Persist in these imaginal scenes nightly.
So, nightly, I constructed two scenes in my imagination: one, I 'saw' a perfectly normal, happy child; two, I 'heard' my husband say, 'I can't believe it, dear, but do you know 'R' is acting like a normal boy, now, and it is heaven not having those two women around.' After two months of persisting in my imaginal play, night after night, my husband came home and said, 'It's like heaven around school' — not exactly the same words but close enough for me. The grandmother had become involved in something that took her out of town and the mother had to accompany her. At the same time a new teacher had welcomed the challenge of 'R' and he was progressing wonderfully well into all I imagined for him.
This technique applies the principle of revision to others. By consistently imagining the desired state for a person and hearing confirmation of that change, one alters the imaginal support for the old reality, leading to a physical transformation of the situation.
