@Malcolm_Ocean & @QiaochuYuan - I don't know whether Tiago has read Unlocking the Emotional Brain, and he describes an experience that maps so well onto the emotional reconsolidation process: https://t.co/Rxs8nbMvHz
@Malcolm_Ocean @QiaochuYuan Becoming aware of a "symptom" - I don't feel any anger. Getting into emotional activation & bringing a schema into awareness - If I express anger, I'll die. Holding that active schema, simultaneously with a disconfirming experience - I can express anger and be supported.
@Malcolm_Ocean @QiaochuYuan He describes how this experience, along with other emotional / somatic / meditative practice, has changed his experience of a throat/voice blockage. Not only can he relax his throat, he's also able to relate to the tension as an indicator rather than a problem.
@Malcolm_Ocean @QiaochuYuan Summary of Unlocking the Emotional Brain, for reference re: this thread: https://t.co/qTOmblIgpq
@Malcolm_Ocean @QiaochuYuan And Malcolm's recent blog post that talks about UtEB / Emotional Coherence: https://t.co/nSHoVKNrUI Includes a template with examples of layers of emotional schemas, from the Coherence Therapy manual (also highly recommended)
@SarahAMcManus @QiaochuYuan Wow! @fortelabs' "because I'll die" response in particular resonates very precisely with a section I just read this morning from Already Free by Bruce Tift. Really cool book—connecting therapy & dharma! Excerpt below: "If I have to feel this feeling, I will cease to exist." https://t.co/ekizoopJDe
