The WholeFamily Dr. Gerald Epstein Center For Imagery

Meeting the Opposite Sex

  
By Dr. Gerald Epstein
 

 

Close your eyes.

Breathe out three times slowly.

See yourself in a full-length mirror by your front door. See how you look. Check your hair. Fix your make-up (for a girl), go down the body including the shoes. See yourself with a big smile.

See yourself with a big smile.…

Breathe out one time.

You go to the party, look around. See a [boy] or [girl] who you are interested in. Go directly to [him] or [her]. Introduce yourself and speak for a minute (no more.) Ask if [he] or [she] likes or loves someone else.. If not, say to [him] or [her] "and me?"

Breathe out and open your eyes.
