After your session

The session may be over. The work doesn’t necessarily end there.

Some things may feel different immediately. Other changes may become more noticeable once you’re back in your actual life—making decisions, having conversations, encountering familiar situations, and seeing what feels different.

Give yourself a little room to notice.

PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT CHANGES

This part matters.

Notice what happens when you return to your life.

Something that normally gets a reaction out of you may hit differently. You may feel clearer about a decision. Something may suddenly feel easier—or no longer feel right at all. You may notice a change in your energy, emotions, behavior, boundaries, desires, or the way you respond to a familiar situation.

You don’t have to analyze everything.

Just notice.

A NOTE ON INTEGRATION

Everyone responds differently.

You may feel relaxed, tired, emotional, energized, clear, quiet, or very little at all. Some people notice changes immediately; others recognize them over the next several days.

A dramatic experience is not required for meaningful work to have taken place.

Give yourself time before deciding what the session did or didn’t do.

If something about your experience concerns you or you have questions afterward, you’re welcome to reach out.
