Insights from the treatment room #1

This week I worked with someone for the first time who came in open to doing some real work. His system seemed to be carrying an old, unconscious instruction: “Make me suffer.” Investigating further, the sentence he came up with that solidified it for himself was: “I will suffer for you so you can be well.” It seems to have been an important point of recognition for him, and a chance to consciously choose a different way of wearing his body.
This gave me a chance to reflect for myself as I suspect I may carry something similar: a willingness to suffer as proof of dedication and love… and how can that ever be love? A moment to consciously choose how I am wearing my body.
