Keep physical concerns and memory claims clear · S15.15

Keep a memory and a movement interpretation separate

A body-focused exercise invites you to link a sensation to a past event.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Write only what you actually know or remember, leaving uncertain details uncertain.
2. Keep sensations, images, and interpretations separate from evidence about past events.
3. Ask an appropriately qualified professional about the exercise and alternatives before pursuing memory-focused work.

An example

A sensation is present; I do not know its cause and will not treat an image as proof of an event.

Reflect

Are facts, memories, and guesses clearly distinguished?
