Have you asked your T how it's going to help you now? What does she say?

In the book "Molecules of Emotion" by Candace B. Pert, Ph.D, she explains that our emotions live in our molecules. That's why we need to feel in our bodies, not just in our minds.

She writes, "If our emotions are blocked due to denial, repression, or trauma, then blood flow can become chronically constricted, depriving the frontal cortex, as well as other organs, of vital nourishment.

"This can leave you foggy and less alert, limited in you awareness and thus your ability to intervene into the conversation of your bodymind, to make decisions that change physiology or behavior.

"As a result, you may become stuck - unable to respond freshly to the world around you, repeating old patterns of behavior and feeling that are responses to an outdated knowledge base.

"By learning to bring your awareness to past experiences and conditioning - memories stored in the very receptors of your cells- you can release yourself from these blocks, this 'stuckness'."
