What is Somatic Emotional Awareness?

Emotional awareness is our ability to know and understand what emotional process we are experiencing. Adding a somatic piece to this allows us to include understanding and experiencing this emotion in the body and not just at a cognitive level. Our emotions are considered “feelings” because they carry a sensation in the body. Becoming aware of these sensations and feelings in the body is a very important tool to support us in navigating our interactions, exposing what our core values are and facilitating the interpretation of what is safe and unsafe.

In this 6-week workshop, we are going to navigate the spectrum of human emotion in the body and learn the unique languages of our bodies. Every body has a unique sensory experience that is based on our own history and experiences and during our time together, you will learn your own language unique to your body.
