Nice post. I was hoping you would come and say something on this thread.
My therapist in Australia was of this sort of theoretic orientation. John Briere was one therapist he suggested to me.
I find the right brain connection... Emotional resonance... Whatever...
I find it to be almost too much to bear. Invasive? Too intimate? Something...
I'm not sure if it is because of lack of trust that I have because of past trauma... Or if it is more that I've always just been this way... But it is very hard for me.
I think mostly therapy with him was about exposure / desensitisation for me. Mostly it felt... Icky. Thats about the best I can explain it.
I think there is something to it. Especially with respect to learning how to self soothe and regulate emotions / physiological arousal. I'm not sure that that is what is needed for me anymore (perhaps because I got that from him already)... But I think it is something that a lot of people could profit from.
