That makes sense.
T really tries to get me to change my position when I get too lost in trauma. I always sit on the couch with my shoes off and my knees pulled up...but when I start slipping away, he'll have me sit up straighter, or put my feet on the floor, or some other change (I'm not always able to do this).
Once, I was going to a really bad, useless place in my head (getting into the "T doesn't really like me" spiral) and he had us both stand up and switch places on the couch, so he was sitting where I started out and I was sitting where he started out. It worked!!!! Totally snapped me out of the spiral and back into reality.
Ah, isn't it wonderful, the tricks T's have up their sleeves??
