Sensory Sensitization Exercise
In this video, I take you step by step through a playful sensory sensitization exercise! This is another great way to use our external world to increase our internal awareness.
It's also important in getting us thinking about the ways we have become desensitized as a result of trauma and what "waking up the senses" really means.
I also share about how a client of mine recently used interoception to decide whether or not a relationship was working for her!

Releasing the Stress of Negative Events
In today's practice, we explore how incorporating a pose, intentional relaxation, and some tiny movement can help us create a new emotional experience around a negative event.
We will particularly focus on relaxing the psoas muscles, which tense when an upsetting event occurs.
So get comfy - this is a good one!

I take you step by step through an easy and repeatable exercise that will help you use your senses to boost your interoception.
