083: It’s So Weird

The more we can "let that be itself" – the better. Helping to find
the amount of possible allowance and being satisfied with that, is
a key to successful integration. Play Episode 83 Here There's a
classic moment in SE sessions when a client is successfully moving
through the activation cycle only to balk at allowing the discharge
or deactivation phase because it "feels too weird" and indeed often
times this phase includes truly odd, unsettling or even frightening
sensations. It's important to get adept at gauging how much
allowance of this "wierd" experience can be tolerated and to work
toward trying to limit the attention to the "strangeness" in a way
that your client can be successful at allowing this very "new"
impression to be felt and integrated in their somatic experience -
as much as possible. This episode looks around at the timing,
considerations and some lines of trying to help these unique
experiences be felt and "move on through."
