The patient says she didn't mind the contact, it was helpful to her. A mother confides in her daughter that her father is sexually involved with his secretary at work. The child is glad her mother confided in her, but then dreams that the devil comes to tell her that her father is going to die. The conscious mind tends to look away from rules, frames and boundaries, so its well to strive to develop a sensitivity to this aspect of emotional life. The conscious mind also is inclined to engage in harmful violations of rules and boundaries, so it's well to trigger decode themes in light of frame issues and to strive for secured frames.
Secured frames are a health-giving gift, modified frames are harmful despite their allure.
Seek secured frames whenever humanly possible and reject compromised frames as much as you can. The Search for Effective Cure. Henry Holt, 1989. Take Charge of Your Emotional Life. Henry Holt, 1991.
