2. Identify values/outcomes

“Keeping that representation in mind, identify and represent in a different location the qualities, aspects, values or outcomes of that experience that make it valuable and special to you. For example, if you lost a good friend, perhaps you valued that friendship because you felt that you could just be yourself with that person, or you enjoyed the particular bizarre sense of humor that s/he had. Think of the special qualities of the relationship you had with this person-the love, comfort, stability, tenderness, humor, spontaneity, or whatever else was very special to you about the experiences you shared with that person. I want you to think of these qualities that made that relationship valuable. Ask yourself the question, ‘What did that relationship provide for me that was valuable?’”

As these instructions are given, it can be helpful to gesture first to the location in space where the person represents the presence, and then to a separate location, in the quadrant of the visual field in which the person constructs images (usually upper right).
