Louise’s story feels familiar to me. I love hearing how her state of being and experience shifted.

I’m an Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping) practitioner, and I’m so interested in learning more about where these modalities are similar and where they’re different. The somatic/emotional connection is such an amazing thing, and working with it brings me so much joy.

Ah yes, I remember EFT from the days when I was exploring all sorts of modalities. EMDR too. I always wanted to understand more about what was happening under the surface. How do these methods work? Using fieldwork, I believe it might be possible to observe people's actual feeling experiences more closely while employing various more somatic modalities, to learn more about the connection between the body and our conscious experience. I see fieldwork not just as a modality in and of itself, but one that has the potential to support further development and understanding of other methods as well.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Faith!

I appreciated this post, reading and sensing Louises' experience gave me context. This work is new to me. It is learning to feel within. This new use of language-ing into feeling speaks to me. Yet I feel apprehension, too, am I willing to open myself to new expression(s) of my being-ness.

Good way to put it, Linda, "learning to feel within." And do welcome your apprehension. In fieldwork, everything that shows up is a welcome participant in the whole of your experience. Every new state that makes its way into your awareness is an invitation to reacquaint yourself with another facet of your brilliance.
