Completioncompletion

Completion is the finishing of a protective response that was left half-done. In somatic work, it is thought that a movement that could not be completed in a moment of danger is held in the body; completion makes room for this movement to come to its end safely. This is like the body finally finishing a sentence it had left unfinished. Completion can allow the held energy to release. A movement coming to its end often brings a relief.
