had some pretty intense bodywork today that kind of churned up some old emotional tension laying around in my hips and shoulders. yikes. I new it was going to be intense, but I wasn't quite prepared for feeling as angry and tired as I did when I got home. I crawled directly into bed and passed out, woke up and felt like crying for a good hour, and took a nice long shower and now I feel pretty good. I think tomorrow I'm going to be sore muscularly, but I expect this emotional ride to be over by morning. I might have a few weird dreams, in fact I hope I do in order to totally work through this stuff and get it nice and un-stuck from my body and psyche.
Deep tissue treatments working the fascia always seems to do this to me, but I feel like it's a decent idea to do this a few times a year and clean house. I should probably time it better though so I don't have to go to work the next day as I do tomorrow. I guess I wasn't quite expecting that. It's yet another reminder to me to continue to educate my clients about their emotional mind & body connection. I say these things to them all day "you may experience a little grumpiness later as I've done some deep work in your hips and that can open up some emotional stagnancy", and I believe what I say, but even still sometimes it shocks me how intense it can be and how potent an experience it really is.
This is why it's so important for bodyworkers to get bodywork!
