interoception

If you've been stuck in your head—thinking about your emotions, analyzing them, understanding them, but never quite feeling different—this might be what's missing. Not more insight. Not more understanding. More feeling. More body. More permission to actually be with what's there. It's uncomfortable at first. Unfamiliar. Maybe even scary. But on the other side of avoiding your feelings is something you've been searching for: the actual experience of being alive.

Somatic therapy is learning to hear what your body has been saying - before your brain rushes in with a ten-page explanation.

Because anxiety isn’t a flaw in your logic. And depression isn’t just a lack of motivation.
