Using a Client's Meta Program in an Intervention By Joseph Alley NH came to me reporting a need to lose weight, lower her blood pressure and reduce cholesterol. She was a 59 year old health care administrator, married, with three grown children. Her position as an executive required a certain image and her growing girth and poor overall health was hurting her marriage and her career. Over a period of weeks she become more comfortable and began responding to my attempts to understand her real reasons for overeating. By asking a long series of questions designed to get at the root of her reason for engaging in destructive behaviors she began confessing a compulsion towards a hidden life that involved secret liaisons with men and women who subjected her to bondage and torture. She was a sexual submissive who had married her sexual master. He had lost interest in her as she aged and had stopped all sexual contact some years earlier. She has begun secretly meeting with persons she met on the Internet and allowing them to use her sexually. She was taking risks of all kinds so as to appease her compulsion to degradation. I asked her how she new she was overweight, and her response was that no one wanted her, I ask who specifically did not want her, and she said, her husband. I asked her how she knew he did not want her and she said he would not have sex with her. I asked if he had sex with anyone or if he masturbated and she said not to her knowledge. I asked if she had ever asked him to see a doctor and she said no, but that she would. hi the next few weeks she discovered that her husband had been taking medication that eliminated his sex drive and that it had little or nothing to do with her looks. Fortunately this revelation came at the end of a session, and I was able to research the world of Bondage and Domination. I must say that I was taken aback by the realization that there was an entire sub-culture, hundreds of thousands of people who were at some level, engaged in the "Lifestyle". For the sake of brevity suffice it to say I immersed myself in the jargon and lore of this very complicated and detailed cosmology, filled with rules, regulations and protocol. At her next session I put her in a light trance and confessed that I too, was an ex-life-styler, who had grown bored with the "scene" many years ago and had evolved to the point that only, mental and spiritual domination held my interest. Upon hearing this she immediately begged to be my slave, promising to devote herself to me and follow my instructions exactly. I accepted her with the understanding that I did not have any sexual interest in her and demanded total obedience, the only punishment being expulsion. I used a behavior modification model to indoctrinate her into my "circle". I gave her a copy of a diet book that she had mentioned her physician had recommended and made her eat only as directed in the text. As her " Dom" I had her seeing a personal trainer, a nutritionist and going to the gym 5 days a week. She was drinking so much water she had to buy it by the case. Once she accepted me as her master, she did everything by the numbers. In 4 months she had lost 25 pounds, her blood pressure was normal and her doctor was amazed at the improvement in her cholesterol. At each stage of her progress I simply asked her what her doctor had instructed (or the trainer, etc.) and then fed those instructions to her in trance. She got a promotion, walks every day and does not even look like the same person. She has dropped out of the lifestyle and informed me that regrettably, she could no longer be my submissive, and as far as I know is living happily ever after.
