Adaptability checklist
ADAPTABILITY CHECKLIST FOR IDEAS
What do we mean by an `Adaptability checklist?’ Is it just some clever sounding title but has no real practical significance with a person’s innate abilities? Here is a Link to this list.
My name is Eugene irvin.
The questions in this tab focus on three types of failures using an Innate ability.
The failures might have occurred in the short term, medium term or long term.
The types of failures are:
Number one: Something fails with a person’s resources.
Number two: Preventing failure with a person’s resources.
Number three: A person successfully uses their resource(s), but then relapse happens where the resource is no longer successful or has been reduced in its effectiveness.
WHY DO I CALL IT AN ADAPTABILITY CHECKLIST?
It simply means a list that helps to generate ideas.
Is this list too long now? Of course it is! That is very obvious.
This list is only meant to be a strong starting point for others to criticise, add to, delete things from, reorganise, design something more practical and so on.
But let’s have a simply described list where we can at least be more aware of reasons for both successes and failures when working with a person’s innate abilities. I have tried to keep the contents of this list as simply described as possible, otherwise confusion will reign.
I can see absolutely no value in just having a `fail’ list. Each issue will have a section called `How do we use this issue as a step towards success?’ Each issue will be looked at in future podcasts.
Once this is done with the different issues, comparing approaches for the different issues will be fascinating and hopefully provide some extra insight into improving techniques for developing a person’s innate abilities.
I could make a very long list of comments here about what might be learnt. Have you any thoughts? This topic will feature strongly in future podcasts.
My point is, that this is one strategy for brainstorming and being more creative in our thinking by asking the same question, `how do we use this issue as a step towards success’ with so many different `fail’ issues.
This list has some important uses:
- All the 95 issues are practical. I have tried to keep the issues from becoming just vague philosophical ramblings.
- A checklist like this gives a platform for brainstorming a vast array of topics under the one file title instead of their being say 15 different files and thus the chances for confusion increasing.
- The number of combinations of the 95 issues presented would obviously be almost endless. A list like this makes the number of podcasts one might generate for brainstorming only limited by one’s imagination and knowledge of mind-body.
- The goal is to make this brainstorming, creative thinking process simpler and simpler to do. I see it as initially a more complex structure that can be refined in a progressive manner into being a more and more powerful approach to being creative as it becomes simpler and easier to use.
- The reader may only be interested in one issue. Would they have come up with this idea without a simple checklist or would it have taken more time and conscious effort?
An example of a question might be: “How can the techniques be changed to improve the long term successful use of a resource with a specific person?” The checklist is presented to reduce the number of questions the therapist has to generate with their own conscious thinking. The emphasis is on the words `conscious thinking.’
There will be numerous podcasts from this but I am not interested so much in hearing myself talk. This is an area where open-minded, eclectic types of thinking may introduce a multitude of ideas. Be critical, be creative, be lateral, never agree for the sake of agreeing with anything I present. Question, question, question.
I am in the process of addressing each issue with this question of `How do we use this issue as a step towards success?’ In other words, looking at failure from a more positive viewpoint.
Thank you.
Innate Abilities
An innate ability is:
A characteristic/ability of a person which can be accessed by the person and/or therapist when required.
An innate ability is something which is measurable. Therefore, entities such as ego strength or willpower are not defined as innate abilities in this model.
An innate ability is something the person is aware of or can be made aware of. This `awareness’ may be affective, sensory, motor or cognitive responses. If the person cannot be made aware of these characteristics/responses occurring, then it cannot be deemed as an innate ability.
An innate ability is something which can be repeatedly attained and has parameters which can qualitatively and quantitatively describe it.
An innate ability is something the person has within themselves, it is not external.
LINK ADAPTABILITY CHECKLIST
The following questions focus on three types of failures using a resource short term/ medium term and long term. I am not making any distinctions among the questions as to which forms are involved.
- Something fails with a person’s resources.
- Preventing failure with a person’s resources.
- A person successfully uses their resource(s), but then relapse happens where the resource is no longer successful or has been reduced in its effectiveness.

How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
The reason for failing may be the self control/ self hypnosis onset time for a resource is too slow.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Lack of refresher sessions can lead to failure, it is like any skill, has to be checked, possibly upgraded.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Would a greater awareness of the submodalities present be relevant to failure?
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Was the failure because the therapist was simply not aware of the full range of uses for a specific resource. The answer was there all the time.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Did we overestimate the value of a resource when the client is actually in pain repeatedly over a longer period of time where full emotional recovery did not take place.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Was the client confident with what the therapist was saying?

What does the client see as failing resources long term?
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Has rapport trust between client and therapist broken down?
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?

Did the resource fail because the client was not motivated enough to use it when it was required?
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Did the client have unrealistic expectations?
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Reframing whatever is the issue to allow things to be viewed, interpreted, understood differently.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?

How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Did we think the client was more suggestible than they really were?
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Maybe there are not enough reasons for something. What about a Shotgun approach- use five different types of logic. This sort of idea.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
The client is doing too much self evaluation with their self control/ self hypnosis.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?

How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
The client has unwanted cognitions/ unwanted emotions occurring with their self control// self hypnosis.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Did we fail because we thought the client was accepting the logic of how things are connected? Were we too smug that the client should believe our logic of the connection between the resource and the client’s chronic pain management?
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Too few types of logic used. Maybe a shotgun approach to the use of logic. Something may work as a better chance.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Why not have a shotgun approach to the number of resources or the number of parameters that are actively being used- the failing was being too cautious instead of not knowing and just throwing everything at it.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Are we using the concept of positive/ negative resources as well as we can?
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
When there is a failure, the client has to understand what is actually going on.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Failure because the feedback with testing was bad- maybe too much pressure for the client not to be completely honest.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
The failure happened because an available resource was not used at all for whatever reason. Always keep in mind all the resources potentially available.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
How much self control training did the client have? Self control is very difficult to do.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Was the parameter the client was focusing on should be changed?
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Choosing the wrong parameter to emphasise.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Failing because the client does not understand why a resource, for example, feeling warmth , exists at all. The whole thing does not make sense so you start excessive questioning and so on.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Removing any fears at the beginning of anything, which is a huge number of possible things at the beginning.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Should overlearning have been the key?
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Are the failures connected with the client not having any concept of how their mind body works? Would it help if they had some type of more concrete hypothetical construct they can connect things to?
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Clients trying too hard to avoid failure- it is how they see failing with their for example chronic pain.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Demystifying why a resource such as feeling warm exists at all. Providing a logical construct in the mind so it is quite logical that it will occur.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
A need to regularly change how the client is addressing their pain management with their resources. There is no resource that will work beyond a certain point. You need to be able to change things all the time for success to continue.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
We needed to generate more uses for a submodality and did not know how to do it quickly and simply.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Failure because the testing was not good enough.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Did failure happen simply because the therapist and client were talking with different definitions in mind for basic things such as `why changing one’s imagination would have any effect. What do we mean by imagination?
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Was the failure reframing not understood or not accepted by the client that falling is natural, not necessarily a bad thing.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Clients fear they will lose control if they give themselves too much to using their imagination.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Was the client’s problems of conscious involvement so big that overlearning and maybe even neuropathic changes should have been the emphasis.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
The onset time may be too slow for what is required.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Real life testing- what really is required to be able to do this? If you do not get this correct, would you be surprised if it fails?
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Failure because the therapist or client did not know how to change the motivational strategies when previous motivation strategies no longer worked.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Change the goal if failure is occurring. Reframe the goal. Maybe choose a lesser goal, Instead of removing the pain, have them manage it better. If they achieve the lesser goal, they will feel they are still advancing.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Client has some wrong ideas or resource understandings, for example, of some of their parameters.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Did the resource not last long enough. It may need to last for a few days.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Did the client expect too much and when there was not 100% result thought there was a failure.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Did failure occur because they were using a resource beyond its boundaries, its limitations. Maybe overestimating etc, this sort of thing.
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Ask yourself, what assumptions are you making when training the client how to use a resource with their pain management? I think making unwarranted assumptions is done all the time. Might this have a negative impact upon the pain management result?
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Would training with a wide range of distractions improve a resource’s long term success rate?
How can we leverage this challenge as a stepping stone to achieve success?
Would training with a wide range of direct challenges improve a resource’s long term success rate? Direct challenges can take many forms, from almost nonverbal scepticism about you being able to use your imagination to an outright critical forecast of success.

RESOURCES LIST
Are we fully aware of the range of potentially usable innate abilities in the mind-body field?
Innate abilities and their Submodalities
Everyone will have a different list to the one presented here. This is simply my list. Each of these resources has the potential to be used in different ways. I see the same resources being repeatedly used. A large number of resources appear to be neglected. I do not see any structure which would assist me in being creative as to how those neglected resources might be used.
There are 29 resource topics and 197 resource divisions
There is no mention of parameters here.

Imagination-visual
- Eyes open may change the meaning to clients. Always be aware of the large difference between eyes open and eyes closed. Belief may be stronger if client experiences a visual with `eyes open.’
- Imagined means the persons’ visualisation is of something which is not real, it is a `figment of their imagination.’
- A reader may think that a visual appearing near/ distant should be on the same line. The way each of these submodalities might be used however may be quite different. You may want to combine in a meaningful way an imagined object coming nearer and that imagined object moving into the distance. Thus two distinct usages of each of those submodalities may be combined in such a way to enhance the effectiveness of each of the individual submodalities.
- Many times there are no clear boundaries between the categories. It is only meant to be a rough classification. Every person would have their own list which may differ considerably from this list.

Negative hallucinations: Imagined with a real input
Imagn>visual>eyes open>real>suggested real items missing from conscious perception completely
[Can be one item or the entirety of real visual sensory input; e.g., an entire furnished room is now seen as being completely empty]
Positive hallucinations: Imagined with no real input:
Imagn>visual>eyes open>real>suggested real items now present even though missing in reality
[Can be one item or the entirety of real visual sensory input; e.g., an empty room is now seen as being completely furnished]
Combinations of positive and negative hallucinations
One item is removed completely and replaced with something else.
