    those last few suds :)

    Hi,

    I'm looking for some input on the fact that I very often seem to get "stuck" on a SUDS of 2 or 3, and lack the desire or motivation to work any further on an issue.

    While I can trace this to (possibly) fears of healing or becoming "unstuck" I am wondering is this common? Do clients sometimes, "habitually" get to a certain point in processing, then it "stops"? This has become rather tediously predictable in my work, and it doesn't seem to matter what the orginal target is, trauma or non...

    I also am wondering how to address a "part of self" that would rather not heal or be "released" from the past. While "it is safe to heal" or "I want to heal" are nice thoughts, I don't know how to (incrementally?) navigate toward them.

    Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks :)
