Hi Fred, Sounds like the missing link here might be their understanding of somatization-- how to diagnose when that is the problem, (using metaphor language is one way,) and what to do about it. I taught a 1/2 day workshop for PTs a few years ago and as per a show of hands, NONE of them knew when unresolved emotional trauma was holding the patient's physical pain or dysfunction in place. The healing component that I taught the PT class and which is also in a 90-minute video of a CE class on my website, ("Beyond Reason") is EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique, aka "tapping" which in my experience (20 years) is the safest, simplest, non-drug, non-retraumatizing trauma healing technique on the planet.
