Yeah, now that I've reflect on this new piece of info about crying it makes perfect sense. If touch can cause buried disconnected, long forgotten emotions to surface, then it makes sense sounds, smells, and other stimuli from the environment can do trigger this too. It also makes sense that in an environment that is perceive as safe, we tend to relax our grip and lower the threat level out of the hypervigilant, constriction, or freezing state and the old energy is released in some physical way. It kind of makes sense to me intellectually.
As I've thought about this all week, I've begun to see that I can say, "Yes" to my Ts question last session. She asked me, 'Haven't you ever been moved to spontaneous tears by something beautiful and not have any reason?' I have had this happen a lot only the tears don't make it all the way out.
Its been comforting for me to realize that I actually HAVE or experience these deep ocean currents. I AM HUMAN! Maybe it is good that the tsunami never reaches land. At least I feel it.
