A GSR specialist is a representative of the helping professions, along with psychologists, coaches, medical professionals, etc. In order to conduct their activities, they receive special training in the GSR methodology, as a result of which they are allowed to work with other people.
Today I would like to focus on the main tool used by a GSR-specialist, which fundamentally distinguishes the principle of GSR-services from any other. We are going to talk about “State of Zero”.
The “State of Zero” is a special state that allows a GSR professional to “nullify” the influence of his or her own subconscious scripts, experiences, worldviews or awareness and be in the maximum nonjudgmental state regarding the client, the facts he is stating and the emotional experiences he is experiencing. In this way, the GSR specialist can be as open as possible to the client’s request, find the root of it, and work through it fully, qualitatively, without bringing himself in. The “State of zero” is a kind of sterile glove that ensures the safety and high efficiency of a GSR session.
How can the “State of Zero” be described? What does it look like?
One could say that the “State of Zero” is a maximally neutral, open and integrated state, when you are ready for action at any moment, but with no internal sending to do anything on purpose. This state has nothing to do with the peaceful and relaxed state of the meditator, nor is it “cold” or detached. It is formed in a certain way as part of the Second Module of GSR technique and is held by the GSR specialist throughout the entire session, from the time of the meeting until the end of the session.
It is interesting how the Specialist’s “State of Zero” affects the client. Many comment that they talk as if they were talking to a mirror. The specialist fails to engage in dialogue and in empathy, and the request begins to be presented by the client more in essence, without water, as if the client himself begins to feel the focuses that are more important to him and to focus on them, without taking the reasoning aside. This contributes to a better identification of the client’s symptomatology for further work with him.
We would also like to emphasize that the “State of Zero” gives GSR-specialists ample opportunities to work with literally any request, regardless of its depth, the area affected, its ethics or strangeness. Any of the inquiries can be supported by the GSR Specialist in the State of Zero and worked through. This makes the GSR profession versatile and applicable in any field, requiring no specialization or experience with narrowly focused inquiries.
Interestingly, the representatives of other professions, who also received GSR skills and, in particular, “State of zero” as a tool of the Second module of GSR, in their work begin to show better results, more accurately see the true needs of customers, the importance of partners or management, more clearly implement the set tasks. The “State of Zero” can be used not only in work, but also in everyday life and thereby provide a more complete and holistic perception of the surrounding reality. This, in turn, makes it possible not to get caught up in replaying various tendencies and to interact with the world around adequately: to make more appropriate decisions, to see more opportunities in any situation, to act constructively, taking into account as many factors as possible.
