Eugene Gendlin (2000) demonstrates with two volunteers. The first is guided through feelings of tension in her shoulders and shakiness in her stomach. Gendlin conducts a second demonstration.

James Hillman (2009) Hillman reveals how to bring “soul talk” back into modern psychotherapy. The case history of a client is the diagnosis, present complaint, family history, employment history, but nothing of the “soul” of the person. Dr. Hillman assures us that we can almost ignore the case history. Using “soul” talk (Longings, dreams, secrets, how a client accepts joy and sorrow) takes the session out of the box and returns a resonance to psychotherapy that it has lost.
This demonstration illustrates how clients can be taught to regulate persistent or chronic pain using simple strategies such as circular breathing, work with pendulum rhythms, voluntary and involuntary movement, and prosodic toning. Discussion will emphasize how these and other tools can activate or modulate specific aspects of polyvagal functioning to restore balance and bring relief.
