Listen now | My Muse woke me up at 4am and she had a message for me that she wanted me to share. So here goes it. Warning: May be catalyzing, (the word I use instead of triggering) and I could be completely wrong
Love this, as an Art Therapist, I like to work with what shows up for the client that day. As you said what arises. I had a lecturer who shared how this is what he would do, he never kept copies of the creative expression and never took notes as he always just wanted to be present with what they showed up with. So that is how I like to work. Core wound work I think would make me feel like I am constantly broken. Thanks for your voice Shilo
I couldn’t agree with you more Shiloh! People don’t have to retell the story to heal through it. Besides, trauma doesn’t have a language. Talk therapy isn’t gonna transmute trauma into triumph. We have to access the brain, the heart, the nervous system, the gut… all the tissues through movement and somatic healing arts. I’ve never heard of the core wound and I’m a therapist. I’m glad I’m aware of what I know and glad I don’t know lotsa popular myths. That’s why I hang out and vibe with you ~ we seem to dance on the same wavelengths 💖🌈🧶
Shiloh, I think this idea has a lot of merit. For me the core wound method feels very aggressive. Your approach is softer and more resonant to me. I know that within EMDR there is the idea that core wounds can be healed through the ‘tendrils’ which could be a related and maybe more present and milder version of the core wounding. As they say, ‘what’s wired together, fires together’ and that should go both ways with regards to triggers and healing. On that note too, we may always be triggered, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t done the healing work. Here again we must be gentle with ourselves, acknowledge that we may have been triggered then move on. I think we often don’t give our healed self credit, sometimes fully healed parts still have tender places.
I have long questioned the need to continually “peel the onion” or to “dig deep into the core wound” Over and Over and Over and Over again….. it seems akin to picking the scab off a nearly healed wound…. You re-injure yourself and rob the body of its wisdom to heal naturally over time in a slow and organic way. Through various different teachings, I came to my own conclusion that “if I can name it, I can move it”. I don’t need to dwell on it or re-image it. Thank you for this very important challenge. I always love how your mind and heart work together 💗
Thank you, for this sharing of substance from your years of exploration - meaningful, inspiring, and healing!
So so glad it resonated.
