Using Cognitive Interweaves and Moving into the Pain for Effective Healing

When doing EMDR with Gary for his social anxiety, a cognitive interweave technique is used to challenge his negative expectations. Instead of immediately disproving his beliefs, he is guided to hold a strong statement that confirms his expectations. This allows contradictory experiences to emerge and be addressed. This approach is different from traditional methods that focus on proving beliefs wrong. The body principle of unlocking is also discussed, emphasizing the need to move into pain and pressure before healing can occur. Carl Jung's quote about accepting change is referenced to support this idea.
