Episode notes
Start By Noticing Discomfort
- Notice discomfort first because pain and strong sensations are easiest to detect and carry survival information.
- When you feel discomfort, adjust posture or action to follow the body's instruction and reduce the sensation.
Hyperfocus Masks Basic Needs
- Emily described hyperfocus during autistic deep work where she ignored hunger, cold, and the urge to pee for six hours.
- She only noticed basic needs after emerging from the trance, showing how attention modulates bodily awareness.
Use Pleasure As Information
- Turn attention to pleasurable sensations and ask what information they provide about needs or limits.
- Use food (sweet tastes) or other accessible pleasures to practice noticing pleasure without judgment.
