At some point, I should correct the ideas that some people in the Feldenkrais community have about Milton Erickson and his work. Practitioners seem to have gotten the idea that psychological change or “mental” change is not generative or not as powerful as Feldenkrais-ian ideas. And that is not accurate. There are changes that one can make with Ericksonian strategies that one cannot make with the Feldenkraisian strategies. And vice-versa. As always, one must consider context and which strategy to use with what client at what time. I will consider writing a longer exposition of this idea in a future blog post. The mis-application of some of Feldenkrais’ ideas are actually causing a great deal of unnecessary suffering in the community. In fact, some of Moshe’s statements are being used as dogmatic statements of truth, rather than being used a principles that might be useful for certain people at certain times and not others. Again, more to come.
