You might have already realized that talk therapy almost never works & self-help stuff are mostly useless.
If you arrived at this place, you're ready to dive into the world of the body & nervous system. Real emotions & really feeling stuff. There's no other way out.
I find the Reich-Lowen-Pierrakos lineage to be highly, criminally underrated. First pic below is a good intro (getting denser from top to bottom) and the second pic is more experiential/actual stuff you can do. Theoria & praxis.
The main risk is going too fast or alone, which could actually cause real problems. I myself have always been not so cautious about these types of warnings, and went too fast, too deep & can honestly say, there's literally zero need to go too hard, too fast. It's just not smart. Don't do it. Take it easy. These are overpowered anyways, take your time & listen to your body.
Worst thing you could do would be to read/research these and not apply anything (or overindex on types/theory in general) - the whole point is to get out of your head & into the body! Terrifying, I know. Take it easy & focus on max enjoyment.
The internet constantly tells women that men are terrible listeners because the second a woman starts venting about her day, the man immediately interrupts to offer a logical solution. We are taught to view this as him being dismissive, emotionally unintelligent, or invalidating our feelings.
The strict, unpopular truth is that to a man, fixing the problem is his absolute highest, most desperate form of empathy.
Women vent to connect; we want our partner to just sit in the dark with us and validate the emotion. But men are hardwired to view the woman they love being in distress as an active threat. When he immediately offers a spreadsheet, a strategy, or a solution to your problem, he isn't trying to silence you. His brain has recognized that something in the world is hurting his partner, and his immediate, visceral instinct is to assassinate the thing causing you pain.
We constantly shame men for "not just listening," completely ignoring the fact that his attempt to fix your life is his most profound declaration of love.
