Last week we had a look at how emotions may become lodged in the body, this week we'll consider what you should do if your client has an emotional release while you're working with them.
It's good to see there's been some work done on Feelings and their physical expression. Please continue to work on this. I have not been able to find any quality information on this, so what we're doing here is creating a resource which all of us can use in the future. It's good to realise that there is not a correct answer here. Different people are likely to experience emotions somewhat differently.
Hopefully you've completed the exercise in Box 6.2 from the second reading for last week, and you now have some level of self-awareness around how you are likely to cope with clients who present with different types of emotions. If you haven't please make this a priority for the week ahead.
Tasks for the week
Complete reading Emotional release from The psychology of the body, Greene & Goodrich-Dunn. I emailed you the files for this last week.
Mid-block tutorial - In the mid-block tutorial this week we'll talk about dealing with emotional release.
More reading - Sometime early this week I'll email you some reading material relating to the psycho-social management of stress. This is to give you an idea of some of the methods which counsellors and psychotherapists use, and will inform next week's work.
