Introduction to Somatics & Emotional Processing

It’s time for an Emotional Revolution.

Few were taught how to properly feel their emotions as children. Certainly no one I grew up with was taught how to do that. And as adults, it does not get easier to learn something that society and work culture teaches shouldn’t even be necessary.

Instead, we’re taught to bottle up our feelings; rub some dirt on it; walk it off; buck up; and more. As women, we get labeled “emotional” anytime we show an emotion that makes others uncomfortable. Showing emotions is viewed as a weakness rather than a strength, so even showing emotions to ourselves in private becomes deeply uncomfortable and taboo.

We’re not going to let anyone else tell us how or what or when we should feel anymore. Instead, we’re going to become responsible stewards of our own bodies and emotions by learning how to live embodied—from within our bodies—instead of disconnected. We’re going to learn how to recognize what our bodies are telling us and how to discern what they truly need from us, then we’re going to give our bodies what they need.

We’re going to learn how to actually feel our emotions in a way that doesn’t explode them onto others or fester in ourselves. We’re going to learn how to transform our lives by allowing emotions to move through us and then out of us again, they way they were meant to do. We are going to reclaim our power.
