Reply to comment by LucilleAaronWayne in Hi, I'm Lucille Aaron-Wayne, MA - Certified IFS therapist (Internal Family Systems therapy). Ask me anything! by LucilleAaronWayne

Sometimes there’s kicking, backing up, pushing to expel energy. Or sometimes gentle hand movements, head movements with pleasant energy moving. I just haven’t seen videos where IFS involves much movement. There might be sounds but the client is just sitting there. I experience it more somatically. I see colors and images with my eyes closed too.

Gotcha, u/Wrapworks. I don't know of video recorded demos where such somatic expression is visible. I'm curious, what do you imagine it would do for you if you did find some demos like that?

u/Wrapworks you might look into Irene Lyon. Her focus is on the autonomic nervous system, and how it can be impacted by trauma. I’ve learned from her that spontaneous movements can be the body releasing trauma.
