My t3 does Somatic Experiencing with me. She says that it is letting the body speak up about where there is harm. I find it a lot more comfortable than trying to sort out the inner mess, and I don't leave there hurting and all messed up. We worked on abandonment a couple of weeks, not talking about it hardly at all, and after that I was able to call an ex-t and do some processing and reality checking without freaking out. Definite progress there!
