Re: [ET2] Treating the NOW??? (was ET and Tachyon)

Hi Silvia

I know this sounds awfully Californian, but still: Thank you for sharing more of your experience.
I want to zoom in a bit on:

<<I look back upon this and am a little amazed that I managed to do all of that, managed all of that, did what I had to do - and simply it would not have been possible at all if I'd started to feel sorry for myself, resentful at any of it or worried or overwhelmed - all of which was avoided by *not thinking about it*.>>

Yes.
When I look around, I see many heroes and heroines. Who accomplish a whole lot, even though they feel miserable (for very plausible reasons).
Which makes me believe that there are times that it might be good to eg tap on: "Even though I don't want to know what I feel and why I feel this way, I still do what needs to be done, most of the time".

I'm now working with one heroic woman, who suddenly lost her most lovely daughter when she was three. I treated her husband for the trauma, she decided not to come at the time. With hindsight, and Silvia's story in the back of my mind, she may have been very right in this. She plowed on as best as she could, and did not crack.

It's only now, three years later, that she's ready to "work on her issues", after her youngest child was hospitalized for meningitis (which turned out not to be of the virulent kind, thank god).
And is doing this well. She's the most motivated and honest client I have seen in many years. And she has never been in therapy before.
