procrastination (single issues, not category) i've been able to one-shot through 5-20mins conversations via the processes of 'guided feeling' https://t.co/uXkRlkrrIo
@heynibras in a few words: retracing from the narrative about the situation, making a factual sentence (it's just sight-sound-sensation) out of it and then feeling it fully, realizing there's no mechanism to change the now-sensations. process i go thru below too: https://t.co/O8jvDHswuy
@nosilverv @heynibras tbh i would advise against that actively and i find it deeply unproductive, it would seem as further reification. if someone calls sensations a certain way, i ask them if those sensations 100% deterministically are that label/emotion, which helps :D
@Plus3Happiness @heynibras yes, this is what i'm trying to tease out. maybe he doesn't mean sensations but smth else, more precise, that is easy to confuse with sensations. what he calls the felt sense. which you CAN call further reification but DOES seems to be the place theory comes from. useful
@nosilverv @Plus3Happiness @heynibras Maybe a couple stages? Stage 1, which Michael is talking about, gets to a much better calibration of reactions and feeling, getting closer to letting the silt settle. Stage 2, months or years later, to be making use of what remains, and Gendlin-feeling the now regulated feeling
@Plus3Happiness It is quite interesting like craving and aversion, largely comes down to sensation and the sensation's stories? For example, people spend a lifetime addicted to nicotine, but freedom from it comes down to a few weeks of seeing through the unpleasant sensations and the narrative
@0xPendi oh yea, that def works! i used to have really bad sugar cravings before breaking it too (tbf was thinking of starting to offer this as a standalone way of helping folks, just addiction stuff, nicotine, sugar, the not so dangerous ones, for those that want just that)
@Plus3Happiness I wonder if this might fit Chris’ criteria https://t.co/s3Vpq93w0j
Help me find coaches: $200 Bounty I'm looking for referrals to coaches who have, at least occasionally, led someone to resolve lifelong procrastination: - in approximate one session or intervention - even though the client had already tried all of the standard procrastination advice - with effects lasting 6+ months - such that the client became MORE aligned and less numb This referral will be valuable for the coach: I’m looking to refer them bounties from my backlog or at least learn from them I will pay $200 each when I feel satisfied with the above *DM me the referrals - I have questions to ask you* When DMing, please share the best evidence you know that they meet the criteria above
@workflowsauce @Plus3Happiness ty for thinking of me! *by “lifelong procrastination” i mean fully general procrastination of anything/everything (as opposed to just specific “procrastinating a difficult conversation with x”)
@ChrisChipMonk @Plus3Happiness Makes sense I think most people who struggle with procrastination have built a personality around it, so he might be able to scale this technique to more completely address the underlying issue
