Sensory Grounded Experience is a person’s or group’s actual subjective experience of an event. In Process Oriented symptom work, for example, we unfold the sensory grounded aspect of the disturbance to discover it’s meaning. For example, if a person has a headache, the sensory grounded aspect of the experience might be a pounding sensation. Because “pounding” is in the movement channel, the practitioner might ask the client to make a pounding movement, and can further unfold this movement to discover the deeper meaning of the headache. Similarly, when we see a person’s foot tapping, we might project impatience onto it, but by following the sensory grounded experience of the person, we might find excitement or anger.
