Radix is process oriented, which means that the practitioner starts
from what is happening for the client at that moment and facilitates
an unfolding of discovery from this. The client may come to an appointment
with a particular issue or wanting to get more understanding about
something. Clients may attend because of their feelings or something
that is occuring in their body. There is no special way to get started;
nothing you have to know about yourself to begin. With the use of
talking, movement, posture, breath, sound, vision and touch in all
sorts of combinations, the client is guided through a process that
aims to give insight, self discovery and resolution, through facilitating
the flow of the life force or radix. The therapist is constantly
tracking the interrelationship between what the client is talking
about, their emotional expression and what is occurring in their
body. Each session has many possibilities.
For example,
when a client starts talking of an issue, while listening the therapist
will be observing what is taking place in the body. The therapist
may notice that the client spaces out in their eyes. With an attitude
of openness and curiosity, the therapist may point this out. This
may lead to an exploration of how the person disconnects, whether
they are aware of it and what the benefits have been. Childhood
issues could then become the focus of the session. Alternatively,
the client may be encouraged to feel just how they use their eyes
and perhaps how they use their breathing pattern support this expression
in their eyes. Further vision work might then assist them to connect
with present emotions or lead them into feelings connected with
their childhood, or it might simply assist them to be present and
empowered in the moment.
Simply being
aware of these connections, can provide material to work on for
the whole session or for several sessions.
