T has been finishing up a new certification in somatic psychotherapy. It's a therapy rooted in the mind/body connection.

Did you ever play the game Whack a Mole at a fair or carnival? Well, yesterday I used a small padded bat and whacked a padded table in T's office. It was an amazing experience because on the second go round I actually felt the energy move up through my body. I was moving some of the anger I held toward him from our rupture last week.

T believes that there is also energy stuck in my body from when I was a young teen and it is she who cuts. It's an interesting theory and I believe he is right.

When I finished whacking, I stretched out by bending over and sort of hanging my arms and head down while I was standing as if you were going to touch your toes. Then I sat down and we began to talk about some trauma I experienced when I was 12/13/14. We tried to reach that part of me but I told T she was mute. He asked if I wanted to draw it and I said yes so he gave me a large pad and a box of colored pencils. I wound up drawing a diagram of the apartment my family lived in during that time. Then I was able to talk through some of the stuff. It was a truly amazing session.

OMG I love my T.
