Somatics isn't just about what happens inside our bodies. It's also about what happens between us.
It's also about what happens between us.
Can I stay connected to myself when you disagree with me?
Can I listen to your pain without rushing to fix it?
Can I express a boundary without believing I've done something wrong?
Can we make room for each other's experiences without taking responsibility for changing them?
This is why I believe Authentic Relating belongs in somatic work.
Not because we'll always get it right. But because we can practise noticing, listening, checking our assumptions and making different choices.
We don't have to abandon ourselves to belong π€
