Learning to Love the Body We’re in
Learning to love your body can be a journey that takes time, patience, and self-compassion. Here are some tips that can help.
Listening to Your Body
It is important to listen to your body and pay attention to its signals in order to better understand and care for your physical and emotional needs. This can be especially helpful in the process of "reparenting" your inner child, which refers to the process of healing and addressing unresolved emotional issues from childhood.
When we reparent our inner child, we can learn to recognize and meet our own emotional needs in a healthy and supportive way. We become the safe, attentive and nurturing adult we needed when we were little. This is deeply healing and helps to restore your relationship to yourself and your ability to believe and value what you are feeling physically and emotionally.
Understanding Somatic Work
The mind and body are connected, and this connection is particularly important when it comes to healing from trauma. Trauma can have both physical and emotional effects, and addressing both of these aspects can be crucial in the healing process.
One way to address the mind-body connection and work towards healing from trauma is through somatic practices. Somatic practices involve working with the body and its sensations in order to address physical and emotional issues.
The Role of Therapy in Recovery & Healing
The human experience is a difficult one. It is filled with joys and pains, beauty and despair…it is okay to need some help outside of yourself to navigate the very real hardships of life on this side of heaven.
