Moving with Metaphor - Keeping your Trap Shut

A Painful Experience not being able to enjoy food.

I did a demonstration with a cleint who was having pain in his jaw. Now I had never work with pain using the Metaphors of Movement work. So I said to myself... Why not... let's see what happens.

Note: Before I started, I did ask the  client if this issue seemed to be due to a real physical medical problem. He confirmed that he didn't think it was and believed it to be psychophomatic.
