Tonight's session was earlier than usual. Even though we started at 7:30 p.m. Brendan wanted to have his session in his bedroom (early sessions tend to be in the living room while he watches tv). Prior to starting he spent some time showing me pictures on the computer he has taken of his various adventures: the circus, merry-go-round, etc. I learned Brendan can download pictures onto his computer - something I do not know how to do!
Started with his right leg again. He did very well until we got to the calf and ankle. He pulled away; but did get a few more releases in prior to moving on. From there his left leg was done and then we headed up his spine. While I worked on his upper lumbar/lower thoracic areas his mom placed her hand on his lower intestines. There is a distinct pull from the right side of his head, down through his throat, along the spine protuding at the lower thoracics/upper lumbars; landing in the front at his intestines. The interesting thing is this pull is similar as it has turned up in numerous autistic children. Releasing this pull could have profound implications. We will continue working this.
At one point Brendan's mom had one hand across his forehead and the other under the right side of his head; while my hands were on the lumbar/thoracic areas and the intestines. The pressure being generated got to be to much for Brendan so he asked us to stop. He then agreed to let me put one hand on his throat while leaving my other on his lumbar/thoracic area and Brendan placed his fingers on the intestines (mom still had her hands on his forehead/right side). Brendan tolerated this longer as he could remove his hand at any time and diminish the pressure.
When he had enough he jumped right up and went to the bathroom. He did a very healthy poop and then went on his swing. It was clear he had enough and stated he was done. He went downstairs with us and worked on his computer as his mom, dad and I talked. When I left he was happily working on the computer.
Good night! Look forward to seeing him in a couple of days.
