b'Ostrolenk speaks with Serge Prengel, LMHC and author of Inspirational Fables: Bedtime Stories for Your Inner Child. Prengel details his experience guiding clients away from operating with a reactive mind, which is a primitive way of responding to stimuli. His view is that the mind can respond in a more positive and constructive way, and the body is involved in the process of response. Prengel discusses examples of relationship dynamics, in which one person plays the role of a pursuer and the other person plays the role of the distancer, which intrinsically involves fear and reactivity. Not only is the mind responding in these situations, but the body is as well. Prengel also details how he supports clients to see these reactive patterns and the steps towards change, which must involve an environment of safety.
