Name It To Tame It: Identify Your Feelings For Emotional Clarity And Relief

“Name it to tame it” isn’t just a phrase; it’s neuroscience. Research shows that when we put our feelings into words, we activate the part of the brain that helps us feel calmer, clearer, and more in control.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I guide you through a gentle, somatic exercise to help you name what you’re feeling in a way that brings emotional clarity and relief. And we won’t just be using words—we’ll also be using Self-Havening, a simple but powerful technique that uses soothing touch to support your nervous system and deepen your healing.

By combining mindful awareness with gentle touch, we create the perfect conditions for emotional release, self-regulation, and deep self-compassion.

If you’ve been feeling tangled up in emotions or just want a compassionate way to reconnect with yourself, this episode is for you. Let this Name It To Tame It practice be a gift to yourself—a moment to name what’s here, to soften into it, and to discover what happens when you meet yourself with curiosity and care.
