Just now my daughter was scared by her mother’s intervening behavior because she almost accidentally touched the confirmation key of shopping website on Mom’s mobile phone. When my wife reminded me that our daughter’s shock had to be coped with first , I began slowly applying the somatic experiencing technique, escorting her to experience her physiology with that shock in her body. In the beginning, I invited her to recognize where is the shock? How big is that shock? What color is it? also letting my daughter to hold my hand to feel the warmth and temperature of my hand. Through my guidance, my daughter gradually felt that the shock become smaller, and the scare also moved from the chest to the thigh, to the calf and finally disappeared; it was nice to see my daughter regain her sweet smile again.
