Behaviour

Will I find a clue on the

• GERUNDS pages?
• MC pages?
• Client�s form/from their issue/from previous work?
• Jimmy�s examples?
• Amanda�s examples?

Is the client lying down/sitting/standing/kneeling/walking/doing a yoga or Tai Chi pose/doing an action they perform at work/at home etc?

Is it a facial expression or mannerism?

Is the client doing something with the arms/hands/fingers/legs/feet/toes/head/eyes/tongue/breath etc?

Is the client making a noise? What kind � with the voice/hands/feet?

Is the client facing a certain direction?

Is the client behaving �impatiently�? (Use the CONCEPTS WORDS/FEELINGS LISTS and ask �what do you do/how do you behave when you are feeling impatient?)

Is there a clue in the �Mood, Emotion or Thought?�

NB Remember that �behaviour� is last to be layered in when doing Unification Structures so do not put them fully into the position until it�s time, but just prepare them. If lying flat they can bend 1 leg for example, to break the pattern.
