This therapy involves recognizing how your emotions feel in your body and how it feels in your body when you're relating to another person. Even though it seems counterintuitive, this is a good therapy for someone who is uncomfortable with their feelings or who doesn’t really know how to feel them. Sometimes not feeling one’s feelings is less about whether or not someone can get really angry, or anxious, or sad and more about whether or not it’s easy to share the depths of yourself with another person.
When we can share more of the depths of ourselves and feel shafe sharing our feelings with others who we consider to be safe people we begin to get more satisfaction out of our relationships.
