Reply To: Exercise 2: Doing Reps Evoking Emotion, Creating Meaning
Always learning!
I love your curiosity and humility when it comes to learning, Ivette! Having been led through several memories this week, it’s not easy to describe the emotions (even when I know what’s coming!). I find that tapping into the sensory experiences helps a lot. It sounds like you did a good job leading your friend Tiana to get to her emotions by asking her to sort of bring you to the beach with her. As we discussed in class, take your time (and let them take their time) getting to the emotions.
As for Santosh, I bet he left your conversation feeling better and more calm, even if it felt somewhat frustrating for you. I’m sure Josh and Evelyn can speak more about navigating similar conversations as they have more experience than me 🙂
