In the classic format for integrating a resource state with a problem state or context, a specific resource is chosen by the clients or the therapists conscious mind, and then accessed by a verbal request to recall a past state Think of a time when... or an as if state What would it be like if... followed by associating into this past or potential representation, and then integrating it with the problem state or context.
In contrast, the new code format accesses a nonverbal high performance state as a resource, to eliminate or minimize verbalization and irrelevant historical content. Then while in this high performance state, the client steps back into the context chosen for change, unconsciously integrating the high performance state into the chosen context. In a variation discussed elsewhere in the book, the client asks their unconscious mind to choose a context to change/improve, so that the entire process is unconscious, including the results of the integration. This prevents any possibility of content intervention or interference by the conscious mind of the client or coach.
