title: How to do a session of experiential psychotherapy.
abstract: Each experiential session is to achieve two goals. One is to enable the person to undergo a qualitative shift into being the transformed new person that the person can become. A second goal is for the qualitatively new person to be essentially free of the painful feeling and scene that were front and center for the person in the session. Each session proceeds through a sequence of steps, and each step is achieved by its own collection of working methods.
