Hi Chris,
The questions is very good. So one you elicit the values, in all three ways (standard elicitstion, motivation and threshold) you then figure out the towards and way from in each value. As you correctly say the question to figure that one out is “why is ______ important to you? You so this question several times, and based on the language the client gives you, you already have a prep good idea of the percentage of toward and away from. Then you ask the client to give you a percentage based on their intuition.
Now, to the core of your question: once you have established the away from in each value, then you can grab it all together. Here is how you ask the question:
“Considering ALL of this away on in this value, what’s the root cause of ALL of it, which when disconnected will allow ALL t of it to disappear, was it before, during or after your birth? ”
And you’re right at the finding the root cause in TLT.
Think of it, even if there are beliefs, negative emotions etc, as part of that away from, there is always one that came first. That started the whole package of away froms. So you find out the root cause of ALL th away from and you let it go all at once assuming a gestalt of away froms connected to that value.
Therefore there is no need to do them individually.
Test afterwards, do clean up if necessary, and you’re done.
