The Kuriki method (the first edition in 2007) is a theory about Tourette’s syndrome (tic disorder) and obsessive-compulsive disorder to cure these diseases without medication. This theory is based on the author’s inference and interpretation regarding the structure of these diseases. Since it has been written for the psychoanalysts, reading will be difficult for people in general and it might be sometimes read erroneously. Therefore the Kuriki method must presuppose that the patient is treated by a nearby psychoanalyst, and that, between the patient and the Kuriki method, there is always the psychoanalyst. The explosion of emotional catharsis, which has strong repercussions, is done only for three seconds, once a week: beyond this rhythm, it would be an accident caused by negligence, and the psychoanalyst who is inexperienced in emotional catharsis must take responsibility for the temporary mental collapse caused by the accident. Also, to the patient who has weak capacity of logical reasoning, the psychoanalyst must explain well on the violent emotion of revenge caused by the illusory confusion between the person of the traumatic image in his head and the person in the real world.
Cure for Tourette’s syndrome (tic disorder) and OCD without medication
§47
Absolute-Compulsion
The word “compulsion” usually designates “the thoughts” in obsessive-compulsive disorder, or, at the same time, “execution of acts of obsessive-compulsive disorder”. But, in the Kuriki method, the word “Absolute-Compulsion” designates the frame of the pathological structure of neurosis. In a word, the Absolute-Compulsion is the wall of the invisible tunnel. If the visible and observable phenomena are called “symptoms”, Absolute-Compulsion is not a symptom, but a pathological structure.
The « compulsive intramuscular sensation » of tic disorder amplifies itself. It is not the sensation of muscle contraction without muscle contraction that amplifies itself, but amplification of the compulsiveness of immobility on the voluntary muscle. In that sense, shoulder tic and obsessive-compulsive disorder of gas valve are the same thing in compulsivity of verification. But, the corporality of compulsiveness is one the the pathological characteristics of neurosis, patients perceive the « compulsive intramuscular sensation » as amplification of a kind of specific muscle sensation, and not as amplification of mental compulsiveness.
Compulsive physical sensation and Absolute-Compulsion
The « compulsive intramuscular sensation » and the tic movement exist in the Absolute-Compulsion. The patients with tic disorder will recognize the disappearance of the Absolute-Compulsion when they will be cured of this disease. The force of the « compulsive intramuscular sensation » is very strong and tic movements are considered as being directly forced by the « compulsive intramuscular sensation », but, in fact, there is a frame, that is Absolute-Compulsion, around the « compulsive intramuscular sensation » and the tic movement, but the patients will recognize it after the healing of their tic. For example, if you put a clothespin on the skin of your arm, there is pain, but it is possible that you keep watching it, but if there is an appearance of the « compulsive intramuscular sensation » in a voluntary muscle, the patient can not bear without doing a tic mouvement. There is Absolute-Compulsion, which binds a tic movement to the « compulsive intramuscular sensation ». There is no Absolute-Compulsion between the pain by a clothespin and the movement of the hand, which removes this clothespin. Tic movement is a voluntary movement that the patient is not able not to do, even for a thousand dollars. Only voluntary movements can be an object of Absolute-Compulsion. Also obsessive-compulsive disorder has this Absolute-Compulsion, which binds in a straight line «the compulsive physical sensation» of OCD, an useless thought and an useless act. The thoughts and the acts are secondary symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the treatment of an obsessive-compulsive disorder is done with awareness of bodily sensations of anxiety in the upper layer and abreaction in the lower layer. The rationalization in the upper layer, which is only arbitrary selection of symptoms and the concealing of the function of the repression, has no force as Absolute-Compulsion. The force of Absolute-Compulsion is the force of the repression. The recursive amplification of the « compulsive intramuscular sensation » of tic disorder or the recursive amplification of the bodily sensation of anxiety by «the compulsive physical sensation» of OCD (cutaneous sensation, for example) is not more “aching” than a clothespin. Absolute-Compulsion is a force majeure as the thick wall of a tunnel, which has only one entrance and only one exit. The force of Absolute-Compulsion exists as the frame of the amplification of bodily compulsive sensation by the recursive amplification of the « compulsive intramuscular sensation » or the amplification of bodily compulsive sensation of anxiety by the recursive amplification of «the compulsive physical sensation» of OCD. When an appearance of the « compulsive intramuscular sensation » has been perceived in the Conscious, this disagreeable bodily sensation amplifies itself as a bodily compulsive sensation. As a vice, the bodily compulsive sensation imposes absolutely a tic movement, of which the manner has been precisely determined. If it were just a bodily sensation of muscle contraction without muscle contraction, a tic movement could not be forced in an absolute manner. The tic movement eliminates disagreeable bodily sensation and bodily compulsive sensation. Normally, for an appearance of the « compulsive intramuscular sensation », patients eliminate the disagreeable bodily sensation of the « compulsive intramuscular sensation », doing the tic movement, before the bodily compulsive sensation amplifies. Already, when an appearance of the « compulsive intramuscular sensation » is the object of the Conscious, the patient automatically does the tic movement, without waiting for the amplification. Also obsessive compulsive disorder has Absolute-Compulsion, so Absolute-Compulsion is not a component in the upper layer of tic disorder, but a component as the basis for the whole of the upper layer. The reason why Absolute-Compulsion is absolute is that the necessity of the repression of the mass of emotion by any kind of upper layer is absolute. While tic movements are forced by the amplification of disagreeable bodily sensation and the amplification of bodily compulsive sensation, in order to consider Absolute-Compulsion in the structure of tic, it is necessary to us to be able to understand it at same time as obsessive-compulsive disorder. As Absolute-Compulsion is not part of the content of the lower layer, but part of the mechanism of the lower layer, Absolute-Compulsion can not be an object of awareness. Absolute-Compulsion can not be eliminated directly by an awareness of Absolute-Compulsion. Only when a tic is healed, the existence of Absolute-Compulsion will be able to be recognized as something that is not there any more. A tic disorder heals first at the level of Absolute-Compulsion of the the lower layer, then at the level of the « compulsive intramuscular sensation » (indefinite repression in the upper layer). Absolute-Compulsion is the presence itself of the structure of neurosis, rather than a force.
Panic attack
There is a page on a classical cure for panic attack. (The content is not included in the Kuriki method, which is a theory of cure for tic disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.)
The Absolute-Compulsion of patient with neurosis is so tyrannical that it dominates mechanically the Conscious when there is a legitimacy of rationalization. First, the patient has already the Absolute-Compulsion, and a trigger will be adopted after. In the structure of the Absolute-Compulsion, the effects of adrenaline of fight-or-flight response will be used as a bodily compulsive sensation. The trigger has legitimacy by an unpleasant experience. It is not that the feeling that is linked to the trigger becomes a panic attack, but, on the contrary, the Absolute-Compulsion manifests as a panic attack using a trigger. Since the Absolute-Compulsion is not visible to the patient, his compulsion is to go out of the trigger-situation.
Panic attack is a bodily fear, which has the bodily fear as the object of fear, and this loop amplifies itself. When the possibility of a panic attack is the trigger, it seems as if there were no trigger, and it’s called panic disorder. Panic attack and panic disorder are the same thing, because the real trigger of the amplification of the bodily fear is the bodily fear, and because the first panic attack of the patient was triggered by a strong anticipatory anxiety. It is not a thing or a situation that is the real trigger, but the fear is the trigger of the amplification. Being afraid of a thing cannot become an attack. Panic attack is an amplification of the bodily fear of the bodily fear. If the thing or the situation is the trigger A and the fear of adrenergic effects is the trigger B, the cure will be an understanding at the level of the trigger B.
