As a retired somatic psychotherapist, I agree wholeheartedly with Dr. Wilson. The entrance to befriending our body's experience is learning to pause with a breath that gives us space to notice what is there. It's akin to hearing a knock on the door and taking the time to open it. We need to learn to greet the feeling with some friendliness and that is an important skill along the path of healing. We need guides along the way to help us recognize what's at the door and how to greet and feel fully so that what visits us also passes through. Thanks Dr. Wilson.
