Move Beyond Duality: Steps of MBD 

  1. Establish a professional relationship with the client.
  2. Choose one issue that the client intends to resolve.
  3. Help the client to explore their mixed feelings and thoughts about the issue.
  4. Help the client pinpoint the main dualistic conflict they have about the issue.
  5. Have the client accept that conflict and duality and regard it as an aid for discovery.
  6. Have the client maintain the energy, intensity, and motivation (drive) of the duality and conflict.
  7. Have the client use that energy to illuminate the continuum between the opposites of the duality. The continuum is most easily represented and explained to the client using the 5 Thinking Positions paradigm.
  8. Have the client use the energy to resolve the conflict in the area between the opposites. The client will accept alternative realities, cope with duality, discover possibilities, create new views, explore perspectives, find new meaning, invent new combinations, investigate options, and problem-solve their way out of the conflict. All you need to do is to support and encourage the client that they can find their answers by using the conflictual energy to see more than the opposites.

Move Beyond Duality: EXAMPLE MBD

  • Issue: “I hate and love my mother.”

Client process stage one:

  1. I can stand to feel both my hate and love for my mother.
  2. I can stand to think both good and bad thoughts about my mother.

Client process stage two:

  1. My mother was sometimes good and bad but also partially good, partially bad, and even neutral in her responses and behaviors.
  2. I now have a more varied and complete view of my mother.

Client process stage three:

  1. I now consider my mother’s problems, upbringing, situation, and issues and not just my own.
  2. I can accept that my mother was not perfect and did good, bad, mild good and bad, and some things that were neither good nor bad.
  3. I find it much more honest and real to accept my mother as a fallible human being with many kinds of behaviors instead of as someone who was all good or all bad.
  4. I am at peace with my mother. She was who she was. She did what she did. She lived her life.
  5. I hope to do better in my relationships and draw on the good I learned from my mother while not focusing on the bad she did or taught me by her example.
  6. I can finally let this struggle between viewing her as good or all bad go. I have a new sense of peace from dropping this burden. I feel that I have just grown up some and become an adult instead of a child in my relationship with my mother. Thank you.
