Thank you, Lindsey for holding down the blog for these last months. I'm happy to sit by your side now, and start blogging again. I love telling stories from the EBT groups I facilitate. I worry about posting them, because the most important part of EBT is safety. So want you to know that anything you read here about a group member has all identifying information removed, and my best effort to be true to the spirit of the moment.
Here's one of my favorites from this week:
Nancy had rewired a "I get my safety from food" Survival Circuit in Kit 2: Authenticity. We start telegroups with News and Needs, so that any participant who wants to share news of the week (breakthroughs, Joy Points, anything!) and needs for coaching during the session (to nail a Cycle in the session, help with a Survival Circuit, and such). Sometimes participants speak up that their 2-year-old is sick and crying a bit so that they might come and go, and definitely will have the phone on mute, or that they are really tired, and just want to stay on the line, soak in the work of others, without overtly participating much.

There are day to day cycles you do to break stress circuits, but there is another kind of stress wire, the survival circuit. It is encoded during a time of Brain State 5, and because of that, it is rewiring it take a more elegant and prolonged use of the tools. We'll be talking about survival circuits over the next months, but briefly, they appear as the backbone of external solutions. Formed during a full-blown stress response, the unreasonable expectation is: I get my survival (safety, nurturing, protection, reward, love) from ___________ (a thought, a mood, a behavior).

Hi,
This afternoon, I coached several participants though The Cycle Tool or gave a consultation on where they were in the training and their next step. When I began giving support for the skills it was with coaching, that precious time to talk about whatever the individual wanted to talk about, whether that involves Cycles or other support.
