What do I do? I’m going to orient, and I just have all of these thoughts coming in, and I feel distracted, and I can’t pay attention. I want to do this thing.

What are some of the most effective ways to deal with invasive suppressed memories of sexual abuse?” To stabilize and get out of the terror. So again, we’re talking about terror and fear. “I started to retrieve such memories and practice such as orienting helps a bit. However, I can’t sleep from fear of being attacked again.” So again, I could have put these two together, I suppose, I’m realizing. “How do I work with terror at the time It flares up, that does not suppress it, but helps digest it instead?” Any specific exercises for the time the experience is at its most intense

When Irene says we shouldn’t really give into resistance, what I hear her say is that we should do something even if we don’t want to. Is this correct? And if so, how does this fit in with following your impulse framework? I feel like not listening to my internal voices is what got me to this unhealthy state in the first place.

When you’ve been in some phase of freeze to a degree for your entire life, and start to come out of it a little bit, how do you resist the temptation to use all the energy and become an empty tank again? I accidentally did this after my first round. Both you and Irene had warned us, but I didn’t realize I was doing it, and now I’m running on empty again. I felt alive and awake for the first time in a decade, and it was so exhilarating to use my newfound energy.

My kidneys feel stress and pain whenever I have deep feelings like anger and grief. Can you explain this? I tried to do the kidney adrenal exercise, but it doesn’t seem to help much. Any comment?
