3. Discovering your own script
• Dreams, fantasies, fairy tales
and childhood stories can all
give us clues to our script.
• While you do these exercises,
let your imagination run fee.
• Don’t bother thinking what
they are for or what they
mean.
• Don’t censor or try to figure
our what you are supposed
to say.
• Just accept your first images
and feelings that may come
with them.

4. Object in the room
• Look around the room.
Choose any object you
see. The best one is the
first one you think of.
• Now be the object and talk
about yourself. For
example : “I am the door. I
am hard, square and
wooden. Sometimes I get
in people’s way. But when I
do, they just push me to
one side…”

5. Object in the room
• To get even more from
the exercise, ask a
partner to conduct a
conversation with you
as the object you have
chosen.
• The partner is not to
make interpretation. He
is just to talk with you as
the door or fireplace or
whatever you have
chosen.

6. Object in the room
• “I am the door. When I
stand in people’s way,
they push me aside.”
• “Well, door, how do you
feel when people push
you aside?”
• “I feel angry. But I am a
door and I cant talk. I
just let them do it.”
• “Aha. So is there
anything you want to
change door, to feel
better?”
