Your Body Is the Speech of Your Body

When I started out as a therapist I focused hard on catching everything my clients said but there was often a mismatch between what they said and what they experienced. Our bodies are always telling us through things like our heart rate, things like how tingly our fingers feel through tension especially in certain areas of our bodies across our chests or shoulders all over how safe we are. This is really like process of interior reception. Your nervous system is a stealth surveillance system. It's like your nervous system is always scanning for how safe you are. That is the speech that I'm talking about. The tales our bodies tell through our sensations reveal our deepest wounds, truths and hopes.
