Thank you for your answer (English is not a native language for me, so I apologize for any error).<br /><br />Regards,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420173096635836108.post-10985529561732741762011-08-27T15:02:16.721-07:002011-08-27T15:02:16.721-07:00David: EVOLUTION!!

A professor of psychology should today be knowledgeable about primal therapy's existence and therefore willing to attend to what primal therapy science shows.

It's a disorder of REM sleep. It's very common to have episodes a couple of times in one's lifetime. Some people, like me, get sleep paralysis often. <br /><br />Sleep paralysis is, in my opinion, a very "primal" pathology, with strong 1st-line connections. There's also hereditary influence at work. I suspect that the causes of a lot of major problems will turn out to be some mix of primal + genetic + infectious + related to toxic exposure. <br /><br />A common trick us sleep paralysis experiencers have is to struggle to blink our eyes. The cranial nerves are not usually as badly affected, and the sensation of blinking can rouse the dreamer. And here's a big Primal clue: the very struggle to wake up is also helpful.<br /><br />For those with sleep paralysis that interferes with their lives, REM suppressing drugs can be prescribed, which means pretty much any sedative or antidepressant. <br /><br />I'm not sure how proper Primal Therapy handles this, but its cause is probably not the kind of pain you're going to jump right into. If you're in therapy, ask your therapist, or Art himself, for guidance, though I know he doesn't do diagnoses in this (blog) environment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420173096635836108.post-79372948671221213742011-08-24T20:40:04.096-07:002011-08-24T20:40:04.096-07:00Hi

With this inner 'compass' we could become better navigators in the 'Territory of our Psyche'. <br /><br />Still this 'aspect' of self reflection/ knowledge will not do more than make us well educated (about ourselves) unless we link with the natural process. In a way, therefore, I feel this is what Jack might be warning us about mere thinking.<br /><br />So, how to see inwardly without the distortions caused by our own pain?<br /><br />I am not a Primal Therapist but Art is.<br /><br />Paul G.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02006514330039884557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420173096635836108.post-79965067823908939902011-08-24T01:24:46.388-07:002011-08-24T01:24:46.388-07:00It's amazing how something as feelings can be ...It's amazing how something as feelings can be subordinate for further life “only” a mother neglects her child. But perhaps it is not so… but only so that we are unable to listen to the signals ... tones that would make us aware of the signals saying. <br />The symptoms ... the confusion that occurs because of the emotions are just tied to the intensity of pain as we were a child and it is the one we have to listen to. The intensity keeps feeling we can cope with… but if we let ignorance continue to be our escort… we will remain in our infancy of suffering and with symptoms as a “professor” of the content.<br /><br />FrankFrankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242354226308728116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420173096635836108.post-83427878937631245802011-08-23T22:27:06.061-07:002011-08-23T22:27:06.061-07:00Art there have been many times when i have slipped...Art there have been many times when i have slipped into a state of paralysis, when i was very close to falling asleep, and during the paralysis i would feel a creepy kind of anxiety but i wouldn't call it outright terror, and in this state i would hear rumbling in my ears and a feeling like my body was moving very quickly. i don't think this experience has ever lasted more than about a couple of minutes.<br />i always dismissed those experiences as just some kind of rogue piece of 1st line information which was not being processed properly - something like psychosis. i assumed it couldn't be a primal because it didn't feel bad enough. but i have no idea how bad it should feel.<br />if those experiences are not primals, are they at least a sign that i might be able to get into 1st line primals early in therapy? or is it quite common for people to have 1st line-ish experiences which are not primals and are no indication of a person's readiness to go that far?<br />btw, i am starting to get a persistent dull ache in my heart which seems to linger for much longer than it did about a year ago. it's got me worried a bit. it's very faint - not really painful. could this be a sign of heart damage? i forgot to mention it in my intake interview. i wasn't really concerned about it back then. one of your old posts mentions cold hands and a hurting heart, so i thought it must be quite common.Richard Atkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13587935146938446604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420173096635836108.post-34697957949168942412011-08-23T15:12:34.029-07:002011-08-23T15:12:34.029-07:00Tony: I think you are continuing the good work. g...Tony: I think you are continuing the good work. great! artArthur Janovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18009571728800026496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420173096635836108.post-7669768259010226362011-08-23T13:13:03.266-07:002011-08-23T13:13:03.266-07:00Art - Regarding your comment that you'd given ...Art - Regarding your comment that you'd given up trying (to persuade medical professionals), a few weeks ago I read your JPPPH article, that I thought was fantastically clear, and ended up lending it to a retired nurse friend of mine, very bright woman, along with Leboyer's book. 10 years ago when I showed it to her, she'd doubted some of his claims regarding L/R handedness. She gave them back to me today and we talked. She felt a there was a lack of information re. impramine binding, but had realised that much of Leboyer's and your opinion was now standard practice in the UK NHS in just those 10 yrs. Also, Last night on Ch 4 here there was a good quality documentary on life in the womb referring to much of the same research as yourself. She left with your Imprints and Primal Healing! So don't give up mate, your work is having an effect. I plan to work on my wife's doctor next, who says there is no real evidence that what happens earlier in life is related to later illness!<br /><br />I also had an idea. I've found it good to paint my feelings and memories (scenes). For me they can get under intellect/words and lead to other things (resonate I guess), and I wondered if contributors could send them to your blog along with general comment, i.e. not just about me?Tony Rileynoreply@blogger.com
