Social Panoramas


By Paul Jones, Hypnotherapist

A brand new construction of the form and function of the unconscious landscape, one that is not only conceptually intriguing, but so much more importantly, one that directly invites us to reorganise our psychological furniture. The premises upon which Lucas Derks bases his blueprint for lasting personal change is plausible and simple but never simplistic. The same can be said of the plethora of practical exercises that prescribe the means we can easily use to identify any changes that are desirable and make them.

Building on his backgrounds in NLP and psychotherapy Derks has discovered a less elusive and precarious bridge between the conscious and the unconscious processes of the mind.

A postmodern mix of existentialism and solipsism reconciling the basic premise of the self as the centre of the social sphere (or Panorama) with the unfortunate necessity of having to deal with “others”. Whether this model is used to dissect the facets of the self or the facets of the self we project outwards in order to construct what we should sneeringly call reality, the results are always the same, a confirmation of our eventual responsibility and the liberation it brings in its wake – Freedom. To understand one’s position in the social sphere is to “find one’s self”, but the ability to define your “location” is the holy grail of the human condition, namely the creation of the self!
