Presenting age
A read of this page, with the plate.
The interview said forty-seven. The body said no. Find the age they are presenting, then ask why.
Not uncommon on a first visit: the person has told you their age, you ask the body if that number is true, and the arm yields. They are not lying. The field is not standing in the present tense. Chart 1-3 already asked you to locate the age or the split. This is how. You need the age they are presenting, and why they are presenting there — the why is the next lesson, the emotion.
Bracket, then count
You already know the stated years. Ask: older than forty? Older than thirty? Older than twenty? Until you get a yes. Then count: twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, until yes. Or the opposite: younger than ten, younger than twenty, and so on. Use the least number of questions possible. Be systematic. Do not wander. A body dialog that rambles becomes a conversation, and conversations invent ages.
Why this number
When you have the presenting age, stop hunting. If the body will not stand in the stated years, you are often talking to a split still living in that year. Do not reopen live trauma to prove it. On yourself, find the number, then ask what feeling froze there. That is enough for this session. Practice the method on the example below — stated forty-seven — before you ever take it to another adult.

Practice
Run the example dialog. Bracket first, then count. Journal the presenting age you found, and one sentence about why a field might stay there.
Check
When the body yields to the stated age, you should:
- Assume the person is lying and end the session
- Find the presenting age, then ask why they are presenting there ✓
- Keep repeating the stated age until it becomes a yes
The field is not in the present tense. Find the age. Then the emotion.
The efficient method is:
- Ask every year from zero to now
- Bracket with older-than or younger-than, then count inside the band ✓
- Guess a dramatic childhood year
Least questions. Systematic. Do not waste the body's patience.
Once the presenting age is found, the next question is:
- How do I make them older again by force
- Why this age — which feeling is on ✓
- Which crystal matches the year
Age, then emotion. The why is the feeling, not a biography.
They are not lying. The field is:
- Not standing in the present tense ✓
- A dose you write
- A physician
Not uncommon on a first visit.
A body dialog that rambles:
- Finds the truth faster
- Becomes a conversation, and conversations invent ages ✓
- Is the method
Be systematic. Do not wander.
When you have the presenting age, you:
- Keep hunting
- Stop hunting. If the body will not stand in the stated years, you are often talking to a split still living in that year ✓
- Reopen live trauma to prove it
Do not reopen live trauma to prove it.
On yourself, find the number, then:
- Ask what feeling froze there. That is enough for this session ✓
- Reopen the wound
- Prescribe the year
Practice on the example — stated forty-seven — before another adult.
Asking whether you are all alone still holds because:
- A split is a visitor you dose
- You find a number. You do not hunt a visitor so a year looks named ✓
- Age is a dose you write
Tracing waits.
If the body says no to every band, you:
- Invent a childhood
- Stop. The dialog is not readable, or a split is showing ✓
- Push until forty-seven becomes yes
If the body says no, you stop.
Why this number is:
- The next lesson — the emotion ✓
- A biography you write for them
- A dose of years
The why is the feeling.
