A hand holding something familiar can trigger a cascade of subtle physical responses; warmth spreads through the skin as emotional resonances surface with remembered experiences. These aren’t passive recollections, however, but active constructions—each sensation subtly altering the past as it is re-experienced.

Perhaps these patterned symmetries within somatics resistance offer a pathway to deeper understanding.
