We learned about how work on the physical body can help the mind and spirit. We were partnered up and asked to study a therapy. My partner and I chose Trager. I am still fascinated by it, and think it has a lot of merrit. A Trager therapist was kind enough to donate some time to help us understand Trager, which I was confused by because I couldn't see videos or pictures and understand it. One thing we discovered when she was working with me was that it is incredibly hard for me to relax my body and just let her work. That's not uncommon for any of us, but we theorized that I'm more ready to try to react because my sense of feel, or what the doctors refer to as proprioception is how I stay oriented and safe. And ofcourse pain will throw that off. I really like your poem! One of the things that was discussed in my holistic therapies course was the mindbody, and how they are one.
