Somatic Experiencing reveals what is written in your body
Who is feeling fearful? Who is angry, irritated, happy? There is a body and there are thoughts, sensations, emotions that arise by the nature of this living body. The thoughts come and go, feelings come and go, there is no person that is affected here - there is a body that reacts to thoughts and feelings and retains impressions by holding reactions in the cells, muscles, tendons, bones - there is this record written in my body of what I have felt - what I feel most often, what I practice, the thoughts I entertain habitually. These practices are recorded in my body but there is no person there to be influenced, there is just the practice of thinking thoughts, feeling feelings, over and over and over, refreshing the thoughts and feelings and keeping them alive so that the illusion of a troubled person is kept alive with the practice of thinking, feeling thoughts and emotions.
