Hi BrianC !! First of all, thank you so much for posting, can't imagine how helpfull is for me. Now i feel a little bit more confident when the sensations arise. Last night fear got me pretty good lol. I felt it all over the body and also very painfull sensations in stomach area. All sort of mental stories too (You won't be able to sleep ever again, You Will die, blablabla) and then i tried to let go the story by compassionately saying things mentally like 'is just fear' , 'you are fine, i'm with you', 'is just a sensation'. After a while i was able to feel that sensations without going into panic. Honestly i felt so good, even in pain. Should i sit with the fear until 'dissolves' for that session?
As You said, for people who has never dealt with a Lot of fear , it can get overwhelming, and funny enough, fear is the emotion that i avoided all My life, i imagined that something was going on there.. i always had trouble with social situations , extremely shy at partys, school,work, trips with people that i don't know very well, having sex, playing sports.
Thank god that exists something like PP!! It changes so much your perception of everything. So excited to continue this :)

Great!

I was always avoiding fear when I could, even though I faced it a lot and stuffed the emotions. So when I felt it and let it process for the first time, I realized I had been afraid for no reason and that it actually felt really good to feel it with the right perspective. I really loved that revelation. It's a game changer. Like you said, it's just a feeling so it's not going to kill you. :)

When I felt fear or other uncomfortable emotions, I would let them work their way out during that session, then I'd end. But I had the time to do it. Not everyone has the time, so each person has to figure out what's best for their situation. It will vary from day to day with some people's schedules. There's no set rule for it. I just always did my best to do at least the minimum of 30 minutes a day (two 15-minute sessions), and then I'd sit and feel my emotions for a little bit right after I was done in order to see what comes up for processing.
 
Hi everyone the TPP
thread seems to end here. Any news where BrianC is nowadays. Did he write his book ? I learnt a lot about tpp through his feedbacks and of course gleaned something from others. Anand.
