Try to rearrange your day so that you don't have much to do.

When things happen I try and dig my hands into the muscles to get control. At other times I ask the part inside what to they need or what do they want. Sometimes they say nothing. At other times they will tell me what they want or dont want and I can say something to them to comfort or reassure and amazingly the tension goes.

I so wish I could bring comfort to you.

Take care
Thank you for the advice. My body memories are exactly that. My body is acting out something that happened to us. I do not have a memory that accompanies the body memory. It is just my body acting out a bad experience. I did tell my body that we were safe, that we were not little any more and the place where we were in was safe. That seemed to help. I let the body memory happen until I thought I might get physically hurt. Than I had to forcibly stop myself while letting my body know we were safe and not little. At one point it came to mind that this is what hell must be like. My body was able to stop the memory with help from my mind. (if that makes any sense) I am not sure if that memory will return or if it is satisfied that we are safe now. I don't know if that experience processed the memory into being something of the past or not. It was a very difficult experience but part of me thinks it had to happen to address the memory and move forward. I don't know. Thanks again
