+ On treating yourself. - November 07

.........As to why that is I can only include it with all my other experiences of trying to treat myself.  Never with much success.  
   It could be just me but I suspect it's the same for everyone.  A classic example is in the release process, which as you know, involves the practitioner holding as the patient's system encounters its restrictions. 
   The patient needs to let go, the therapist needs to hold.  It doesn't make sense to me that you can do both at the same time.  None the less, never being one to allow good sense to get in the way of having a go, I tried it anyway,
....a few times. 
Always the same result. 
   Just when I was about to release, one of two things would happen.  The part of me that was releasing would take over and my whole system would go into letting go, including the part that was supposed to be holding. 
   End result = No release. 
   Or the part of me that was holding would stay in charge so my system would never let go. 
   End result = No release.
