Phase 6: Body Scan

The focus shifts to grounding and consolidating the progress, ensuring the client leaves the session feeling stable and secure. This phase is characterized by conducting a body scan, a technique that helps identify any physical manifestations of distress connected to the processed memories.

The client is asked to mentally scan their body from head to toe and observe sensations without trying to change them. The purpose here is not just to relax — though relaxation is often a welcome benefit — but to detect residual physical responses that might indicate areas needing further attention.
