Week Five
Introduction
Hey there Agents of Change!
So, Agent of Change, here we are at week five, the week we start to explore what I call the pièces de résistance of Systems of Change!
Uncovering and realizing that this was the missing piece that I had been looking for was very exciting for me. I had been looking and trying to work out exactly what it was that I was missing from what I had been witnessing Robert do in his sessions. I had the structure of the Art of Change and I was doing successful sessions but I had yet to be able to have sessions that people had the apex affect nor did I feel as smooth as I could see that Robert was in his sessions. My goal at the time was to master, not just become a Master but to truly master the art of creating lasting change in my clients.
I had read through Monsters and Magical sticks a few times and thought I understood exactly what he was saying but it wasn’t until I had gone through it a third time that the penny dropped. I knew that it was the least used system that held the goal
It is this week that we will start to bring together all that we have learned and start to gain an understanding of the importance of the Systems of Change.

FAQ
DOES EVERYONE HAVE A OUT OF CONSCIOUS UNCONSCIOUS SYSTEM?
WHY IS WORKING WITH THE OUT OF CONSCIOUS UNCONSCIOUS SYSTEM SO IMPORTANT?
When we work with the conscious aspects of an issue the client will have relief and often will be able to say that the issue has changed, but will also be able to recreate it if aspects that are unconscious are not addressed.
WHO WILL I BE WITHOUT THIS?
Another source root of a secondary gain is the need to stay a part of our tribe. An individual might not like their family or the family behavior but on an unconscious level the unproductive behavior keeps them close to the family.
Or they might not have any other experience so are unable to imagine who they would be with out the behavior.
SECONDARY PAIN AND CHRONIC PAIN?
Secondary gain plays a critical role in patients with chronic pain syndromes.
It includes such things as avoiding onerous tasks;
- EXAMPLE: a worker is injured on the job. Often the patient perceives himself/herself as strong and able to carry on a hard, demanding physical job throughout their working life. However, as he/she reaches his/her early 50s, the body begins to show evidence of age and he/she is no longer able to perform the tasks.
- Next, he/she develops either a real or perceived injury and disability that prevents him/her from returning to the job; the individual may not want to return to work, does not want to return to that job in particular, or does not have the skills to find a different job.
- The regular payments, received from the insurance industry or the disability system, provide a way to avoid going back to work, while providing a living.
