Q: What are the risks and benefits of doing Radix work?

A: There are two primary risks involved in undertaking Radix (or any other personal growth) work. The first is usually experienced in the short term by many people: fears about what will happen if they let go of blocks that have served them well for so long. Radix Practitioners pay a great deal of attention to tailoring the work to the individual and not pushing anyone into anything. The second is a longer term consequence and is really more realistic: having begun to deepen in their feeling life, persons often find they are not satisfied with important aspects of their life situation, like work, relationships, etc. At the same time they may not have yet developed new directions to go in. This can be very unsettling.

Radix work, like all personal growth work, works well for some people and doesn't do much for others. Each person has to find the right kind of work for them. But when it does work, people tend to experience a deeper capacity for feeling and expression of feeling, more clarity of thought, and more congruence of thought and feeling and behaviour.
