Quote by John Fowels

“It's just I haven't roots anywhere anymore. I don't belong anywhere. They're just places I fly to or from. Or over. I just have people I like. Or love. They are the only homeland I have left.”

“The redirection of orientation and attention can be as simple as asking clients to become aware of a "good" or "safe" feeling in the body instead of focusing on their physical pain or elevated heart rate. Or the therapist can ask clients to experiment with focusing attention away from the traumatic activation in their body and toward thoughts or images related to their positive experiences and competencies, such as success in their job. This shift is often difficult for clients who have habituated to feeling pulled back repetitively into the most negative somatic reminders of their traumatic experiences. However, if the therapist guides them to practice deeply immersing themselves in a positive somatic experience (i.e., noting the changes in posture, breath, and muscular tone that emerge as they remember their competence), clients will gain the ability to reorient toward their competencies. They experience their ability to choose to what they pay attention and discover that it really is possible to resist the somatic claims of the past.”

“There is a soul weariness that comes with caring. From daily doing business with the handiwork of fear. Sometimes it lives at the edges of one's life, brushing against hope and barely making its presence known. At other times, it comes crashing in, overtaking one with its vivid images of another's terror with its profound demands for attention; nightmares, strange fears, and generalized hopelessness.”

“Tracking is noticing all the little things that go on while someone is talking, especially the things that aren't being talked about. It is knowing how to read these as clue's to the speaker's present experience and meanings. . . The therapist has this two-fold task: to be in the world of the client, in all the usual ways, and at the same time, to be outside that world, able to see it from a wider perspective.”
