It's always good to have a journal handy to write down whatever came up for you. So it's an opportunity to write a new story. It's an opportunity to resolve some old trauma, bring it to the surface and release it and let it go. And it's an opportunity to open the door inwards and kind of go on a self reflective journey as well. So it'll give you exactly what you need whenever you need it is the experience that I found using it.
Yeah, it's kind of interesting because I'm thinking about a couple of my patients who have significant trauma and when I talk to them about it, every time they do this they have a different memory and some of them are remembering things they didn't, they've forgotten. It's almost like what memory, what experience, what are you ready to get rid of right now? And that's what comes through and they don't and they move on. So it's really kind of interesting to see how it's almost like a cleansing process.
