This document provides an introduction to the indirect method in Hakomi therapy. It explains that the indirect method teaches clients to be their own therapists by guiding them to work with their inner parts. An example is given comparing direct and indirect use of acknowledgment. In the indirect example, the therapist guides the client to go inside, check in with a proud feeling, and say an acknowledgment to that part silently. Breaking it into steps, the client reports positive responses. The document concludes that using this method, therapists can teach clients many Hakomi skills to work with their inner parts on their own.
