Nervous system regulation. Polyvagal theory. Somatic frameworks. The information is everywhere — and don’t get me wrong, I love all of it.
But somewhere along the way, we started teaching people that they have to understand their bodies before they’re allowed to trust them.
That’s the problem I couldn’t stop thinking about this week.
In this episode, I turned on the mic and followed my own advice — felt my way forward, let it be messy, and said the thing that’s been sitting in my chest. Because the intellectualization of embodiment isn’t just a trend. It’s one of the biggest blocks I see in this industry.
We talk about:
Why leading with information first reinforces the very disconnection people come to this work to heal
What actually happens when a client skips sensation and goes straight to the label
The difference between knowledge supporting felt experience vs. replacing it
And why “any feeling fully felt is bliss” might be the most important thing I’ve said on this podcast
This one came from a car ride home from Cleveland, a conversation with my very analytical dad, and something that just needed to land.
Go listen. Then come back and tell me what you noticed.
As always, your presence is the gift the world needs. Thank you for being here and exploring this work together.
Always,
Laura
