The unfinished story, completed slowly
Somatic Experiencing
A freeze is a story that didn't get to finish. Sensation, a little at a time, until the body remembers it can complete.
A first walk
- 1
Sit. Feel the chair holding you. That holding is already a resource.
- 2
Let your attention visit the loud place for one breath. Then visit a quiet place — a foot, a hand, a patch of light.
- 3
Go back and forth, slowly. The body likes a door that opens and closes.
- 4
Stop while you still have ground. Completion happens in sips.
