Re:body sensations and emdr

You stated,

"In fact, I have a large, highly organized system of parts and projecting fragmentation where there was none, was not at all useful. Besides, my therapist, in her zeal to use this technique, often overlooked the "actual" parts -- distinct mannerisms, thought patterns and beliefs -- as they emerged. They did not pop up on her radar, as she was consumed with addressing every detail of self as a "part". She missed the forest for the trees, so to speak."

Unfortunately, this causes me to wonder, how do you know that your therapist "overlooked" distinct mannerisms, thought patterns, etc., if "parts" were forward and you were not?

I can certainly understand why a client may think/believe their therapist is focusing on "anything" other than what the client believes should be focused on. But can't quite understand your comment if "parts" were forward and they have certain mannerisms, patterns, etc., how do you know what your therapist is seeing/recognizing, if you weren't there, per se?

Appreciate your insight.
