Beneath every behavior is a feeling. Beneath every feeling is a need. And beneath every need is the longing to be seen, heard, valued, and loved.. When these needs are unmet, the body and psyche create behaviors designed to protect us, help us survive, or attempt to get those needs met in whatever ways we have learned.
Healing begins when we ask, “What am I feeling?“and “What do I need?” The breath can help guide us into this deeper inquiry. As we breathe gently and consciously, we soften the defenses held in the body and create space to listen inwardly. Beneath the tension, beneath the stories, beneath the patterns, there is often a vulnerable human being longing simply to feel safe enough to be authentic.
