Just wondering who has used the Non Focused Awareness techniques during transition and how it helped them (or did not...). Thank you!

I really tried to use this during my transition, but I was literally out of my mind. I have no idea what happened in that 20 minutes ( was it even 20 minutes? ), what I thought, did, or said. But dh did not read BFW with me, and he was talking me through that period, so if he had, he may have been able to jog my memory a bit and help me re-non-focus!

My doula had me count backwards by 3's....then after a while i was like this is no working can we do something else. And honestly i dont remember what i was doing during transition. I think i was in another plane as far as where my mind was. So many mama's dont rememeber certain times of there labor. So i think we automatically go to a non focused place by instict. No triggers. I hope this make sense.
