welcome....

no I did not go to the Waldorf School System. but my children at the moment do attend one. my children and I love it.

for those who do not know this kind of school system does not rely on students memorizing facts. the focus is on learning through experiencing. (instead of memorizing 2 plus 2 equals 4 the children participate in counting activities, instead of learning how to read music by memorizing they actually participate in making music, instead of memorizing poetry, and stories to learn poetry styles, parts of speech and parts of writing the students actually write poetry, stories using all the different elements of writing. instead of learning about painting from textbooks the students are actually painting using the different styles.)

the students are expected to using coping tools like breathing, relaxing, leaving stressful thoughts and focus their thoughts more on their gut feelings, clear their minds and use their imaginations. the sky is the limits not the school, not the teachers, the only limitations is whats in ones own mind.

so now back to your post are you asking us how you stop doing all this during therapy, how do you stop clearing your mind and doing what used to be expected of you during school... how to stay conscious instead of blanking your mind?

if this is what you are asking.... it takes hard work, but the same tools you learned in school is how you do it. instead of using your imagination breath, relax and focus on something outside yourself....then when you are fully grounded with a not blank mind tell your therapist what you are thinking.
