The Troubleshooting add-on

 

 

The Troubleshooting Add-On is for your use when a RoboCounsellor session has not been going well from the outset and you have not been able to fix it. If a session had been going along fine and then started going badly, use the in-session "Don't want to continue" option first. What is involved with the Troubleshooting Add-On is:

1. End the current bogged session.

2. Get up, leave the house, and have a good walk around outside looking at things in the environment (trees, houses, the sky etc.) until you feel somewhat better, at least for now. While walking around try and keep your attention on the things you are looking at or listening to or the sensations you are feeling (like your feet on the ground, the wind in your hair, the weight of your clothing or bag etc.) outside right now and not so much on your internal thoughts or feelings.

3. Look over the instructions for the RoboCounsellor module you were using to make sure you were doing the session procedure correctly. Read any relevant RoboCounsellor FAQs and theory too.

4. If no fix yet, get ready for a troubleshooting session, preferably as soon as possible after the one that didn't go so well but try not to leave it over 24 hours. This means make sure you are:

  • well-rested and not tired
  • well-fed and not hungry
  • not under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • relatively free from distractions (no urgent chore you should be doing, no kids or pets running around, no sudden traffic noises, no people looking over your shoulder, etc.)
  • fairly willing to have a session from PaulsRobot and follow the instructions as given

5. If the issue is not resolved yet, do a PaulsRobot Core session as the first troubleshooting session action. Use the regular Rub & Yawn procedure, including the 6-direction technique, to thoroughly cover the period of your life since the last good session. Do not quickie (i.e., skimp on) this step. The idea is to clear up all the charge (harmful emotional and mental energy) between when you were last doing well in session and now. Include the bogged session, but note that the main reason for the bog may well lie earlier than the point you realized it wasn't going well. If you have never had a good session, start from a point in your life when you were doing well. If you have never had a point in your life when you were doing well, start from the best point you can find.

6. If no fix yet, and you have honestly done all the previous steps thoroughly, do the RoboCounsellor Repair List in session for the next troubleshooting session, including doing the session actions specified. This list includes possible reasons for trouble in session that you might not have considered.

7. Do any further out-of-session actions as indicated in your troubleshooting session(s).

8. If still no resolution, try a different RoboCounsellor or PaulsRobot module or seek professional help.
