The real truth is, if we let ourselves show our “whole self”, it is beneficial for everyone. "Expressing Yourself” read by Carol Normandi, page 158....

Inhabit means to live in our bodies, not in our heads. When we learn to be present in our bodies, to move out of the obsessive thinking and into our feelings, we can learn to identify and meet our physical, emotional and spiritual needs. First, we must be aware that we are in the obsession, in the thinking, in the head. Then we cause our breath to being our awareness into our body and explore what...

When we start to trust our bodies, we can listen and understand what they need.  Jenny Sederholm, LCSW  While I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker...
