When we are first born, before we can speak or use language to
express ourselves, we use our physical sensations, our "body
sense," to guide us toward what makes us feel safe and fulfilled
and away from what makes us feel bad. As we develop into adults, it
becomes easy to lose touch with these crucial mind-body
communication channels, but they are essential to our ability to
navigate social interactions and deal with psychological stress,
physical injury, and trauma. Combining a ground-up explanation of
the anatomical and neurological sources of embodied self-awareness
with practical exercises in touch and movement, Body Sense provides
therapists and their clients with the tools to attain mind-body
equilibrium and cultivate healthy body sense throughout their
lives.
