EmoTrance & Abuse Surviors Question

Someone just mailed me and asked about ET & the abuse survivor issue.

They can't really remember what went on, but have the symptoms and this
horrible feeling of "something lurking" that you must never touch; and
those amongst us who know what that is, will know what that is.

They asked if ET would be good for that and I said yes, BUT.

And advised to do ET for something else for practice first, before we
get into "THAT".

Which is what I would also advise to people who are ET practitioners and
have no experience of or with "that" on the personal level; sure, it's
only an energy (now) but it really would help to demonstrate how ET
works so the person has an experience of it BEFORE they have to go into
"that".

As a practice run.

To get familiar with the system. To build up confidence.

For the practitioner, to really and powerfully establish our safety
anchor of, IT IS ONLY AN ENERGY, so it's there when we get into a real
Cape Horn storm scenario.

I think that's important, and I really don't think abuse survivors mind
AT ALL if you take a little longer with them, be a bit more gentle and
careful, rather than having to do the whole thing in a single session.

My full reply is appended below,

Best,

Silvia

Yeah, I think that EmoTrance could well be the way forward.

I too have the problem that I don't remember, not like I remember things
since I've been an adult, but I *have feelings*.

Like recently, I was at the dentist's and I was very aware of these
sensations swooping up, pressure in my head, cold hands, heartbeat in my
ears and had a job not to freak out completely when the guy sort of
grabbed my head to position it to his liking.

But.

There's a but there.

I've been working with the sensations since we've discovered ET, not as
a priority but when they turn up, since about 2002. Bear in mind that is
NOT three years in therapy, but just here and there, when I feel
*something* and I'm in a place where I can do something about it. My
life is organised so I DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE these feelings, from the
ground up and for years; it's actually rare that I get such a direct
reminder because of course I wouldn't ever go to a dentist, not unless I
was in screaming agony.

So, I've just been doing a few bits here and there, and then out of the
blue, this memory turned up. From when I was about four years old.

I reckon that working with the direct sensations is UNLOCKING THE
MEMORIES but not in a floody kind of way, more like ... a storm that has
receded and you can hear a far away voice again, if that makes any sense?

I don't know if I'll EVER know what exactly went on, and how that's been
skewed by me thinking about it and imagining things over the years, but
I've come to the standpoint that it doesn't matter as long as I can
function well and I feel happy within myself.

I would suggest to try EmoTrance with something else first - an
unrequited love as an adult, or some form of other type of heartache,
bereavement, pet bereavement. Those are strong, clear emotions, often
extremely painful but we know what they are and where they came from.

In the process of healing those things, you get to learn about yourself
and how EmoTrance works, so you have confidence in it and you're not
scared to try them on these "weird, scary" feelings that are related to
child abuse and that we've been doing our best to avoid ever having to
have again for God alone knows how many years.

Does that make sense?

Green gardens to you,

Silvia
