I'd also add that 'inhibition' in Alexander Technique is not about turning off feelings, but in noticing our habitual responses to them (where feelings can be stimuli) and then not doing the habitual response. It's from that place that *other options* become available.
Yeah, that's fair. I don't think what I was doing was literally inhibition applied to the fear, it's a bit more complicated than that. I really should attend your classes because I still don't really understand how AT frames a lot of this, but it's still been useful as a pointer
There's a kind of internal sense of "Oh, there's a lever in my brain I can pull" that I often get and it's somewhere between Focusing and what I *think* you're describing when you talk about inhibition, but I'm not entirely sure of the degree to which it's the same thing.
I think the mechanism you're describing has a lot to do with this TED talk. She speaks about fear/anxiety and its evolutive purpose, and how you can harness its benefits once you come to terms with it. (Sorry if you've already seen it.)https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RcGyVTAoXEU …
I think it's possible to turn down emotions or simply argue around them: "This is silly, stop it" is effective for some people. But yeah I don't want to give the impression that I specifically am advocating for such things as 'stop feeling afraid'.
It's much more along the lines of "feel the fear and do it anyway, just be aware that the 'it' in question might be habitual and unhelpful and you can learn to not do that so that you can do something more constructive instead". Shitty book title though.
