My T tries to get me to be aware of the sensations in my body, to pinpoint the location, describe it somehow....to help me be in touch with those feelings. Ultimately, the goal is to be able to allow my body to communicate. Most of the time, I am only aware of intense physical sensations - like anxiety - and my brain decides what it's about, not allowing my body to have a voice. From what I've learned, feelings are stored in the body - but our brains, which has a role of protector, rationalizes, judges, justifies, etc. Being in touch with our bodies is a step towards being able to finally allow our bodies to tell us what it needs without our brains getting in the way.
