I jokingly shit on #sobsquad and and but I also genuinely like them and think they're on to something important. Now I LIEK to understand things so here's what I think is going on with that/crying/'s Bioemotive framework

So -- you know that Doug was a student of Gendlin's and that Gendlin was all about focusing.

Gendlin in 1 tweet: The received language is made from the concepts which those that came before you needed to make sense of their experiencing. Your experiencing will, necessarily because it takes theirs as given, go beyond theirs. Thus you need new concepts and a new languaging

I've talked about Focusing a bunch but basically it's a way to talk about what you're REALLY experiencing, what's REALLY going on, under the hood.

Now I've been using it for idk like 8 years? And STILL I think that the bioemotive framework gave me a thing I didn't have.

My focusing sessions were all pretty formulaic: I felt something was off, I triangulated to the precise feeling using analogies, introspection, metaphors, and so on, and from there to the thing originating the feeling.

However, recently, using the Bioemotive Framework I've had much more *precise* experiences: I'm triggered, I find the relevant memory in a shocking moment, I burst into tears. Happened twice now.

It has a very specific feeling and that's the referent I got the referent of finding a previously hidden, previously locked memory.

yes! bio-emotive is aiming for a much more specific experience than focusing for sure

For me its the original memory coming. It brings the original feeling and then BAM

this hasn't always been necessary for me, i think a lot of my stuff comes from a history of repeated similar interactions rather than single events (e.g. a history of a certain kind of emotional neglect from parents) but yeah when the single events do show up they're powerful
