Julia Sunderland | Somatic Therapist

1 - Peeing when you need to pee builds your intuition - Listening to your body’s mundane signals (big or small) builds your ability to hear and respond to more subtle signals (e.g. your intuition!)

2 - Your body hears everything your mind thinks - those negative thoughts you have about your body seep into and get stored in your body. Shifting how you think about your body shifts how you feel in your body.

3 - Safety is built in both directions - your body needs to (re)learn that your mind is safe to be with and your mind needs to (re)learn that your body is safe to be with.

4 - the mind holds onto out of date images of the body - this is called the allocentric lock, where the body changes (e.g. gets stronger, changes shape) but the mind is literally locked in the old, out of date body image

5 - updating your body image requires being IN the body - the allocentric lock is broken when we experience the body from the inside (e.g. sensations, feelings, movement) rather than from the external image

if you are healing your relationship with your body, my page is for you!
