 Letter From The Future

Presented by Yvonne Dolan - Practical Ericksonian Applications - 6-8 February 2004

  • 1 What is happening for you right now?

Timescale

  • 2 What would you really want to have happening instead? (Phrased in the positive, this is your Goal.)

  • 3 When did you first become aware of wanting this Goal?

  • 4 What have you already been doing to get your goal?

  • 5 What do you want to continue to do and does this support your goal?

Pick a time in the future, 5, 10, 15, 20 years from now or any length longer or shorter that is meaningful to you. Date the top of the letter with the imaginary future date. Imagine that the intervening years have passed and you are writing to a friend (pick someone you know and like). Use the friends name in the salutation, as in, "Dear (friend's name)." Or if you prefer, pick some other supportive person to whom you can comfortably imagine writing.

The purpose of dating the letter and writing it to someone you actually know is to strengthen the psychological realism of the letter for you on both an unconscious and conscious level. Imagine that in this future you have resolved or found a satisfying way to cope with whatever problems that are troubling you at the present time.

Describe what helped you resolve those problems. At the time of the letter writing, you are living a wonderful joyous, healthy, satisfying life, the sort of life you would wish to live. Describe how you are spending your time, where you are living, your relationships, beliefs, and reflections on the past and future. Go into as much detail as possible and do not worry about the practicality or "reality" of the various ideas or thoughts that emerge as you describe this preferred future. If you surprise, amuse, or delight yourself, and especially if you find yourself laughing at times as you write this letter, you are on the right track...
