One form of self-therapy: 02 (Confronting the dead person)

(From googling)

Quote

Confront means to face, meet, or deal with a person or situation directly, often in a challenging, hostile, or defiant manner. It involves presenting evidence, addressing an unpleasant issue, or standing face-to-face with someone. It commonly means tackling problems head-on rather than avoiding them.

I first heard about this in the mid-90s from a student who went on a holiday in Greece and attended some kind of imaging workshop.  (I think that was the word: imaging.  Or maybe it was "visualisation"?)

    This is how she'd described it to me, but in my own words as I can't remember her precise wording now.

    (Her imaging workshop experience, in my own words)

    We were given two chairs:  one for us to sit in, the other for the dead person.

    Part 1:  We'd start by telling the dead person how we'd been feeling about their death:  anything that came to our heads, just let it all out.

    Part 2:  We'd then go and sit in the other chair, and play the role of the dead person, responding to what we'd just told them.

    (End of her story, in my own words)

    Now, I can see how Part 1 might or can work, as it's cathartic, but I can't visualise Part 2 somehow.
