Amazing how much the body can tell us when we think of it as an ally..
my therapist said to me: If you feel it in your chest it's fear. If you feel it in your stomach it's intuition. If you feel it in your head it's anger. If you feel it in your muscles it's anxiety. If you feel it in your face, it's shame. If you feel it in your mouth, it's disgust. If you feel it in your throat, it's sadness If you feel it throughout your body, it's happiness.
Wow, that's a powerful way to tune into your emotions. Given you're a trauma therapist yourself, do you think this framework helps you or your clients identify emotions more clearly? What's one way you've found it useful in understanding yourself or others?
Given you're working on becoming a calm woman and you're an overthinker, do you think paying attention to these physical cues helps you manage your emotions or make decisions?
