3. Contrastive analysis
“Compare these two internal experiences of loss and presence, in order to notice the process differences in how you think of them. When you think of the loss experience, what do you see/hear/feel (tactilely)? When you think of the presence experience, what do you see/hear/feel (tactilely)?” The location of the two representation in the person's personal space is particularly important, and may be all the information that you really need. (If the person is in considerable distress, move directly to step 5.) Make a list of all the submodality process differences between the two. For instance, the loss may be a dissociated, still, black and white photograph, while the presence is an associated color movie, etc. Especially note differences in movie/slide, association/dissociation, and transparency.
