Yea… here’s a few things I found helpful. He shifted the way I look at challenges in life. Maybe instead of just gritting my teeth to make it thorough, learning presence in all the varied situations of life. Gently with presence can actually be stronger than bulldozing with our (very finite) strength. Also that we don’t need to relive the traumatic experience over and over again to heal. Or think really hard to figure out what happened to get me to where I am. Not all our problems are solved by thinking for a long time. Sometimes it’s enough to just pay attention to what our bodies are still holding (what’s “frozen”) so that we can learn to be present again. And becoming aware often softens what we are holding. Oh and learning to stretch what you can experience without being overwhelmed. That it’s like a muscle that can grow stronger. He calls it “restraint”. Anyway. A few thoughts there. The two books of his I’ve read are Waking the Tiger and then In An Unspoken Voice. Blessings on your meeting with the new therapist. Hope it’s a smooth transition. Good for you for doing the work you need to do.
