One paradigm shift I have found in Somatic work over ‘talk-therapy’ is giving more value to my sensations and feelings rather than just the “stories” I tell myself.

It’s true I fall asleep into patterns and reactions based on who I think I am and what’s important—on the demands, beliefs and expectations I have on others and the world.

The truth is that being connected and grounded in yourself, your own feelings, sensations, needs etc. opens presence for others.

Lately, I’ve been sitting with them more. Inviting them in. Telling them “do your worst”.

“Love is letting go” I was told this by my own therapist recently and it sent profound shockwaves into my consciousness.

I’ve spent most of my life avoiding myself.
