Dislocations

A dislocation throws a joint out of place, and the pattern is a forced, trapped feeling one is straining against - wanting to free oneself from an obligation while feeling boxed in, so the body, taking the emotional backlash, springs out of joint. One tradition adds that such an injury is not random: stress is read as drawing the trauma to the very spot it has been straining, so the joint that gives way names the bind one is in. The location refines it - a shoulder, for instance, asks who one longs to draw near. The short explanation's "resistance to life" is that fight against a situation one feels trapped in. Relief is described as finding one's place and freeing oneself honestly from what binds, rather than wrenching against it until the body gives way.

Example from the findings: the dislocation is read as the body springing out of joint where one's own stress drew the trauma, against a bind one feels forced to bear.
