Thanks for this article Stopdog. I particularly hate the way ts use the somatic therapy on clients without asking them first. My first t and some of my tutors do this quite a lot. They call it focussing- where you scan your body for feelings, bloody hell...I was having a nervous breakdown when I went to see t1, the last thing I needed or wanted was for her to keep asking where I felt it in my body- EVERYWHERE. I needed to talk about what lead to my breakdown or how to stop it.
I think a lot of ts aren't trained properly enough and draw from a lot of different theories that they knew very little about and instead of just blind spots they are just blind to what the client needs and just charge in like a bull thinking they know how to cure everyone.
