Report on discussion group session 20th Feb. 2020

A lively discussion among the seven who attended.

After some of the key elements of the book (see link above) were aired, the discussion brought up the issue of past trauma and how it was often "locked" in the body, physiologically, below conscious awareness, and that the past trauma could be subconsciously driving present behaviour. It was said that the subconscious nature (of past trauma, etc), needed therapy sessions in order to uncover, or bring to light, those subconscious patters.
