I got rolfed years ago. I like deep massage but I had one negative outcome. When she massaged my nose, I remembered a trauma from my childhood that I hadn't thought about for years. It reactivated that trauma and made certain related present situations traumatic for me again and again. It has subsided some over the years, but this was not a good outcome.
Julie, it sounds like you had a meaningful albeit negative reaction to the work. These scenarios can and do arise, especially in classic seventh-hour mouth and nose work. I hope the effects continue to subside and that you can derive value from the experience
We're happy to share this excerpt on Annette's channel in the hopes that it reaches more people who could use this information. 🙂🙂

Interesting. Thank you for sharing, Julie.
