Granite.... something just came to my mind when reading your reply to sunrise.
There are times in session when we clients are being asked questions that only the young child part of us can answer.

As I watched myself in session during the bulk of the trauma work this year, I would find that there were times when the wounded child part of me would answer but never say a word. The answer was in the change of my body and my face. If the emotion I felt was anger, I could feel the child part get an upset face and crossing of the arms or even stamping my feet. T would take that as a valid answer and would say "I see." The same answer he gives when I say things.

I asked T about this as it was interesting for me as to why I did it this way. He told me that the answers were comming from the "pre-verbal" part of my brain that held the trauma. Because that part of me was too young for feeling words and expression, the only thing that I could use to communicate with was my body language.

Maybe if you relax your body a little and allow yourself to just FEEL the answer, your body can show T your reply without a word?
