While the Sensitivity Cycle equally acknowledges four areas, Insight is one where I find myself often starting with clients. Insight is about making space for clarity, and serves as the necessary information-gathering phase in the cycle.

I hate it when I feel like I’m making solid progress toward a goal when suddenly the bottom seems to drop out and I feel like I’ve stumbled all the way back to square one. In these moments I have to remind myself of the same thing I remind my clients:  your system does not forget your progress. It’s all still in there.

The Sensitivity Cycle should be required learning for any human trying to understand themselves, and the world around them, more fully. Developed by Ron Kurtz, the Sensitivity Cycle is an aspect of the Hakomi Method that explores how a person’s experiences are perceived, processed and carried out.
