Most interesting

It’s interesting to me from a ptsd perspective, both literally in terms of my relationship to my body, and more broadly metaphorically with my life. C-ptsd results in dissociation, rigidity, and avoidance: all strategies intended to prevent (or at least not notice) a repeat of the trauma. I see this in my relationship to my body and to my life more generally. The idea of flexibility and adaptability (and the idea that our own INTENT is foundational to increasing these) is very interesting and seems very generative from a c-ptsd perspective. Instead of attempting to predict and avoid all forms of danger, or turning down sensation so I won’t feel it when danger arrives, I could learn to understand, perceive, and intentionally guide my experience, trusting myself to adapt to whatever comes.

Unusual or difficult

The practical element to all of this is still very challenging to me. My body feels so inflexible, cumbersome, and mysterious.

Movement habits

I am noticing a little more awareness, and a lot more curiosity. I suddenly have this sense of an alternative intelligence operating in my body that I am trying to form a relationship with.

Additional comments

I feel like we need more time to cover the material between in person sessions (the sessions should be more spaced out). I keep feeling rushed and overwhelmed trying to get it done.
