To me, it sounds like what my T is trying to do with the somatic experiencing. It fits her viewpoint almost totally. Talk therapy is usually "in your head", analyzing things, talking about them, worrying about them. Instead, it is better to feel them in your body, which means to cry, to identify where it hurts in our body, enabling us to feel the hurt instead of trying to understand it.

I agree with ECHOES though. We need to do BOTH; understand, analyze our wounds in our head, then feel them through our tears and let them get into our heart where the healing can talk place.
