This document provides an introduction to the indirect method in Hakomi therapy. It explains that the indirect method teaches clients to be their own Hakomi 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 1) connect with a proud feeling, 2) report their experience, 3) acknowledge the feeling silently, and 4) report the result. The document concludes that playing this example back and forth illustrates how the direct and indirect modes differ while using the same Hakomi skill of acknowledgment.
