Eve,

I am going to make an intuitive suggestion that may be of value.
It can be very tricky to stick with something when you are trying to
get a whole system in mind, and work it at the same time, with concerns
about getting it right ... and wondering if it is working or not.

I suggest that you approach the healing work with a little bit more
focus on learning from the experiences in your practice and adjusting
based on that a bit more than
on just what the books are telling you.

I can't tell you anything else specifically about how to work these systems
correctly, but I can offer this small suggestion as a means to
bypass the concerns over figuring out right or wrong
and start focusing more on experiencing what is working and what is
not and going with your instincts and feedback as you progress....

if anyone else here can offer some more direct comment on the nature of those
works I hope they'll chime in.
Good luck and all best,
RR.

RE: I wonder if it's because I am afraid or just a hidden neurosis....I would really like to get over this and get better. "

The mere fact that you made the effort, even if only for a fre weeks, says that you are interested in working on yourself. Could it be a hidden neurosis, self-defeating behavior, that induces you to stop after a few weeks? That could be but I wouldn't get hung up over it at this point.

I would recommend taking it easier on youself and just get back into a schedule but DON'T OVERDO IT! Trying to do too much too quickly can set you up for failure. Go slowly on this path. I'd also highly recommend a good body-based therapist if you can afford it.

>Anyone else with this problem?

Hi Eve. :-) Yes. It took me over a year to finally make a habit of taking the time to do the undoing exercises once a week. Jack Willis pdf is a superb resource for Recihian exercises, but if you are more of a beginner (as I am) you might want to consider starting with the warm ups and essential movements in Hyatt's 'Secrets of Western Tantra'.

Sorry for taking long to respond, but I have a super busy schedule sooooo

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who responded. I found your advice very helpful. The thing is that I tend towards left-brain thinking which makes me try to rush through things, become results oriented, and perfectionistic...which is going to make me fail.

I need to slow down and try to stop being so hard on myself. I've known this for about a week now, but you three and my husband (who is also into Reichian Therapy and the one that got me into it) reminded me.

Thank you for reminding me of that fact. I shall now make haste slow-ly.
