Therapeutic hangover

So, I am part of a life restoration group therapy. A couple of times a year we get together for a weekend and have an intense weekend of therapy. Well this weekend was it. In fact, we could only schedule a one day this time and yesterday was it. I am not going to go into the details about what I uncovered but suffice it to say it was a long term belief that is a core belief that I have carried all my life. This group therapy is very gestalt like and does a lot of rage work and practical work. What that means is that we get very demonstrative in our work. We get physical in our work and do hands on, re-enactments, role playing, and scene re-creation. Now in that it was deep seated root work, it was very intense. And to be honest, I don't yet believe that this subject is complete. In fact, I can see me visiting this theme for quite some time.

So today. I slept tons last night and yet today still did not feel rested. In fact, I was extremely tired and groggy.  I couldn't focus on things, I drove mechanically on a path that seemed vaguely familiar to me. And it was familiar, it just was not where I intended to go.The aftermath of my 8 hours of therapy felt similar to a hangover. The same things as you feel with a hangover is what I felt today. It was the oddest thing. To me, if it affected me to that degree, then it is some pretty intense deep stuff. I found that today for most of the day, I have been living in something akin to a bubble.

Lets hope that as I continue to work through this theme the effects become less and less.
