3. Transformation

Map across the content of the shame experience to that of not shame, using the most powerful content and submodality elements you found by testing in step 2.

1. First adjust any content distortions in the self-image. (Put clothes on, change misshapen image to normal image, etc.)
2. Make the self as large as the others. (Occasionally, in severe shame, you may want to temporarily make the self larger than others, or make others smaller than the self.)
3. Change the location of the image.

When these changes have been made, usually all the other submodality differences will have changed automatically. Check to be sure, and shift any that remain unchanged. When the mapping across is complete, the person will not feel any shame, and will feel resourceful instead.
