Working note — this session only

Regenerated after every post · custom to somatic work

1Frame every intervention as a suggestion she can decline. She engages when asked, goes quiet when told. — S3, S4 posts

2Anchor body work in observable fact — sensation, location, temperature — before any meaning-making. Feeling-first openings stalled twice. — S3 post

3If freeze appears in-session, that is the material. Slow down and stay with it — don't push through it or reframe it as resistance. — the read, S4 post

Compiled by the system from all four posts and the read. Session 6's practitioner gets a different note.

History

Nine-session sequence from one diagnostic reading; four practitioners across three modalities.
Sessions 1–2: narrative work — grief, work identity. Sessions 3–4: somatic — body awareness.
Presenting pattern: freeze response under interpersonal conflict.

Already tried

Inner child visualization — twice, landed both times.
Challenging her story against evidence — landed.
Open feeling-led inquiry — stalled.
Body scan and orienting — landed; now routine for her.

Constraints

Do not repeat

Inner child visualization — done twice, landed both times. Don't return to it. — from S2 post, Kiper

Do not assume

She has not discussed her father's death with anyone here yet. Ask before going near it. — from S4 post, Lamb

Grounded. Avoid energetic or spiritual framing. — from the read

Contraindication

No activating breathwork. — from the read

Two prior impressions are waiting

They unlock after you log your own. You form your read of M. first, so no one else's can shape it — that's what makes this record safe to share.

Prior impressions

Interpretation, not fact. Newest first. Each read carries its evidence and what would disconfirm it.

First read — unweighted

Session 4 · Gaia Lamb · Somatic

3 of 4 sessions suggest this

"Responds much better to being asked than told. When I framed something as a suggestion she engaged; when I framed it as an observation she went quiet."

Disconfirmed if — she initiates a topic unprompted.

Session 3 · Gaia Lamb · Somatic

2 of 4 sessions suggest this

"Facts matter to her. Challenging her story against evidence worked where feeling-based approaches stalled."

Disconfirmed if — a strong response to purely somatic work.
