4th AT Lesson with Michelle

I had my last (in a series of 4) lesson with Michelle yesterday. It didn't feel like dragging crashed car called Jacek to be repaired on this ocassion. My last lesson was 2 days ago and I felt in pretty good shape, actually. Thanks to this I began from a different station and was able to arrive at another, new location.

I requested her to work with Inhibition at one point. She moves my arm(s) while I work on refraining from 'helping her'. We discovered that my right arm (dominant) is more prone to do moving. Such exploration is something I really enjoyed doing during my early lessons in Harrogate in 2006. I still enjoy it, it's fascinating to observe how deep-seated our habits of doing are.

There was a moment during table work when I started to daydream. I recalled a moment last year when I brought my guitar to school. Soon after this M asked me if I play any musical instrument. Interesting ... coincidence? can she read my mind? I don't think so, but I'm pretty sure that thinking about playing the guitar triggered habitual muscle reactions, and perhaps she recognized them as something common amongst people who play musical instruments?

At the end of the session I noticed that after standing up from sitting on the chair I have a tendency to fix into standing.

I'm going to have some lesson-free time again, we'll see how things develop. If I see that my job is having a negative impact on my use, I'll have few more lessons, but that's after half-term in 3 weeks time.

Good news: only 8 weeks of work at school to go, and I'm going to begin the Training. Hoooray!
