So they shift, and sometimes “cannot” b/c … y’all know
From an #embodied lens, these “projections” and “identifications” are much much more subtle than traditional #psychodynamics
b/c they refer to subtle changes in embodied self structure
Gross example: hysteric projects chaos into field, needs “containment”
Subtle example: charming man-about-town speaks Latin and cooks amazing dinners
#romantic disposed people (the less contained of us) feel
- open
- happy
- joyful
- ready to boogie
This is a micro dose of chaos that brings enough risk, uncertainty and new that it is #goodstuff
Anyway … these are just notes for the writing I’ll do. Is this making sense to people? I know the concepts jump large chasms in places probably. Will try to clarify and fill in the blanks.
"A felt sense is an embodied experience of a whole situation (or other attended-to “object” such as a work of art, a theory, a relationship) that exists before words or other symbols."
- Ann Weiser Cornell & Barbara McGavin
"A felt sense is a fresh, immediate, here-and-now experience that is actually the organism forming its next step in a person’s lived situation. A felt sense is experiencing forming itself, and it can be sensed."
- Ann Weiser Cornell & Barbara McGavin
"Images, emotions, moods, even many thoughts are experienced in and from the body, where “body” is not separate from mind. In this experienced body, we can touch directly what is preconceptual—not already divided into formed concepts."
world famous experts can totally miss the point & unintentionally use their status to proliferate pseudo-correct info as they assume their frameworks are 💯 correct
or
“The value of writing things down we hear or read CAN BE overstated”
example and 🧵👇🏼
As I understand their point:
The motor aspects of writing, when coupled with the real-time granular activity of listening and while “trying to understand” alchemizes learning in powerful ways
Me:
Yes absolutely true

Also me:
would you recommend this method to “write what you hear” b/c “the value cannot be overstated” to
- a opera singer
- a juggler
- person w no arms
- person who can’t write
No? must be out of luck then b/c of this magical “writing” that humans invented recently
