Abstract
Trigger-decoded interpretations are the most comprehensive means by which a therapist can bring into the conscious awareness of a patient his or her contemporary, trigger-evoked, deep unconscious perceptions and adaptations as they relate to his or her symptoms and resistances. These interventions can also illuminate the unconscious connections between adaptive issues within the therapy with those in the outside life of the patient, including their links to early life experiences and traumas. Trigger-decoded interpretations are, then, the basic means by which the fullness of a patient’s world of deep unconscious experience and his or her emotion-related maladaptations are illuminated through genuinely healing, deeply derived insights. And they are offered to patients when they fulfil the recipe for intervening: a manifest allusion to an active trigger, and a rich complex and powerful pool of derivative or encoded themes replete with a clear bridging image.
