Alpha is omega, last is first

 

I wrote this once before,* at the start of the TPS blog: The more radical, intense, and some­times life-shift­ing a session is (after a long chain of sessions), the less I want to say or can find to say or write about it. This remains true. Why? It’s not that the client has “left every­thing on the field,” that all’s been said and done. It’s that the most power­ful expression or “primal scream” is the most natural. Feeling, that is to say life no longer buried, is what should happen. Last epiphany is the first tears or rage against injustice that should have happened in childhood. The act is everything, as it would have been then.

When that happens, I’ve noticed that we are both the client.

Comments are welcome, but I'd suggest you first read "Feeling-centered therapy" and "Ocean and boat" for a basic introduction to my kind of theory and therapy.
