Self-boundary awareness and psychotherapy
Going on a mental journey with a wooden figure
Abstract
How can different states of consciousness be visualized in three-dimensional space, as well as consciously induced and experienced? This is possible, for example, with the three-dimensional boundary visualization method, in which the mental self-boundary is primarily represented by wooden sticks. Experience in clinical practice has shown that this method can often be successful. The following article explains the boundary visualization method and interpersonal attention model and describes the difference between the horizontal and vertical movement of attention. It elaborates on what the therapist needs to pay special attention to when facilitating a boundary visualization session, and what role the flexibility of attention plays for our psychological well-being.
