What do you mean by “body-based therapy”?
Ok that's good.
Should probably just stick with that unless you're unsatisfied
Body based means you talk only as much as necessary to establish trust, bring up the feelings, or resolve a pressing conflict.. the rest of the time you do breathing / eye rolling / stretches / massages / expression work to actively bring up and resolve the energy of the trauma, which is stored deeply in the muscles of the body. The whole body (face, eyes, shoulder, torso, genitals, etc.)
Edit: "Yesterday was a session with my energy guy" -- I just reread this thread and saw this part -- I apologize for missing it before. I am glad you are doing this kind of work Keep experimenting and trying things until you find what works best for you. It takes time.
Reichian Therapy is what I do, if you were curious. Student of Freud. But the energy work stuff (i.e. Qigong) is also really great if you find the right person. Feel free to PM if you ever want to know more / suggestions.
