Thanks Beth. I really appreciated what Bessel had to share and I agree with you, those were my thoughts, too. The other things he mentioned are very useful in calming down what I refer to as the peddle-to-the-metal relentless reactivity of the body's alert systems. I haven't found them very useful for containment but more as retraining of sorts for the nervous system, getting and learning to stay grounded in the body and in the present as well as self soothing and self regulation. All of which I personally find useful and so have many of my clients. I use them as side-along to EMDR. I Was just working on the survey during lunch and have a fair bit to say about the need for something more secure for containment/closure. I, too have found that often the brain does not want to stop, close or contain once the reviewing has started. We need to find or developed more strategies for this. Just my opinion.
