I've been quite low. I had a couple of really bad weeks
which made me really feel I'm not post-anything at all.
There's a Primal centre here I just found out
about, and I'm going to try it out. I was in tears at
the intial interview - and that's before the therapy even starts.

Don't forget the post- flood I speak of is post -intense anger.
The muddy basin with some anger and a lot of sadness and
grief lasted for me a good year. When most of the anger is gone
there is intense grief. (it's the parasympathetic system detoxing) .
Janov makes it clear that post-primal doesn't always mean happy.
The primal therapy sounds good--it might help you get
through the grief period faster--but I'll be very surprised
if you have much more anger to detox. The
problem with primal therapy for detoxing the repressed anger
is that not all the therapists understand the need to redirect
anger during a primal. And his means that during primal therapy one
can experience more emotional pain than is necessary. But
it might be very helpful going through the grief
period. I'll be very interested in how it goes for you.
