Restructuring the Work of Memory)
Dr. Erickson wrote (R. Havens, The Wisdom of Milton H. Erickson, p. 67): "Yet as a result of experiential events of his past life, there has been built up within his body - although all unrecognized - certain psychological, physiological, and neurological learnings, associations".
In Dr. Erickson’s work with Monde we see how special sequence of suggestions guarantees the resourceful memory operation. This sequence generally restructures the work of memory so that it becomes a universal resource for the person, that is an indirect suggestion of how the memory should work in life. Obviously, it is not possible to get into emotional or mental troubles for the person whose memory works as a stable positive resource.
When Dr. Erickson suggests Monde to recall a particular event from her past he does that in such a manner that delivers a metaphorical meaning: "Make your memory work according to certain criterions, make it to be such and such and then all your problems will be resolved automatically". When the criterions are presented one after another they get summarized and compose a special formula. So, what are those criterions? They are sequenced in the fragments 4 – 8 of the transcript? We offer you the words from the transcript in their original sequence and before there are the criterions that are embodied in those words.
fragment 4
* The first mention of the memory, the words "can deal" point that the person should work and be not passive but active:
... so that your unconscious can deal with that vast store of memories that you have ...
* The suggestion that at any moment the memory should serve for well-being of the person, it should make the person comfortable but quite realistically:
... I'd like to have you feel very comfortable and while you are in the trance I would like to have you feel coolness not too cold but just coolness ( pause) just enough coolness so that you might want it to get just a bit warmer ...
fragment 5
* Analogy between memory and a highway that means that the memory should be structured as a road - uninterrupted, sequenced, there is a beginning point and a goal, there can be a stop but not for long, being at the road we can look around, at the road people are moving actively, etc.:
... it is as if you are traveling a highway passing this scene, that scene in your life ...
* From this point the criterions are appearing one by one. And the very first is that the memory should be positive emotionally:
... and perhaps something very nice that you could recall
* The second criterion is the ecological one, the memory should be free of the latest associations:
... that you haven't thought about for years ...
* The third criterion is that there should be a sense of interest - a special mental and emotional state:
... it'd be most interesting if you would find
* The fourth criterion is the time frame:
... some childhood infantile memory ...
* The second criterion is repeated:
... that you haven't thought of for years ...
* An example and an indirect suggestion of the fifth criterion - the memory should be about some event where the subject was active, growing and developing as a human-being:
... such as the time when you discovered you could stand up
