Default Re: How to Determine Which Target to Focus On?

This subject hasn't been researched though many of us have opinions on it. we often say it is best to do the earliest first, but sometimes the processing will still get "kidnapped" by something later, so I tend to trust the system.

When I am doing very early work, the later events sometimes pop in and then settle down if we acknowledge the theme that is in common between the two events.

a later event may be so explicit and vivid it requires work before the more subtle, implicitly remembered early work can be addressed, because the latter is so nuanced and symbolic and sometimes somatic.
