Silence is a critical and natural part of SE sessions. And yet sometimes it can go on too long.
The client can sit there in silence while you explain things excessively.You as the clinician can sit there in silence while your client talks and talks endlessly.The two of you can sit in awkward silence not knowing what to say next after you ask "what do you notice now?"Worst yet, sometimes in Freeze/DVC phases the silence can become terminal and reinforce the stuck state.
In this episode I look at some of the dynamics of allowing silence to go on too long: including internal critical dialogue of the practitioner, consequences of allowing too much silence and some solutions to avoid it being problematic.

Continuing on with a mini-series on The Voo Sound. Here we take a deep 2-hour dive at a still incomplete list of values and opportunities in the Voo Sound from introduction to tracking sensation, to stimulating the viscera in titrated fashion, to effecting energy well transitions, utilizing a “reverse engineered intervention” to evoke the ventral vagal complex’s influence on the Vagal Brake and on and on…for those who are still curious or dubious about investing time and attention in the Voo Sound with your SE clients, here is support and encouragement in making that investment.
I’ve been looking forward to returning to SE Reflections for a series of episodes in 2023 and had intended to start by reviewing the many reasons for the Voo that we do (for yourself and with your clients).
These are trying times, and still, there are SO MANY THINGS YOU CAN DO.
An episode dedicated to looking at the challenges, and some of the inherent psychobiological influences of the current pandemic.
