That's ridiculous, isn't it? Aren't I already in my body? But, she tells me I live in my head too much - that I don't pay attention to my body nor to my surroundings much. She says this is the way to get grounded, to get connected.

I mostly have viewed my body as something I drag around just so my mind can be active and engaged and connected. But learning that I may be emotionally disabled in some way may give credence to her suggestions that I get back into my body.

One thing she does a lot during session is ask me what I'm feeling in my body. At first, that question irritated the hell out of me. I was thinking "who cares about my body? I have thoughts I want to share and whatever feelings are coming forth." So, I barely turned my attention to body and gave her a perfunctory answer. "yeah yeah, my body feels nervous.' and then I'd jump back into my discursive and analytical discussion of 'whatever'.
