I guess my T has actually asked me before where I feel things in my body. So maybe she uses some of that herself.
I read the book. I thought it was kind of lame honestly. The man was very self absorbed. And the techniques did not work so.well.for me.

However my T and I do somatic/mindfulness work.that I find very helpful. This includes breathing work, identifying emotions as far as how they feel.inside me, and learning to identify feelings like being cold, hungry, etc ( I tend to not notice things like that until.I am hypothermic, starving, etc). My somatic work also.includes touch but I suspect you may shy away fr.yjst
