Sometimes the body registers a change before the mind has words for it.
Stress and emotion can appear through bracing, restlessness, numbness, changes in breathing, tightness, temperature, energy, or the urge to move toward or away from something.
Somatic Experiencing and related body-informed practices can help notice these shifts in manageable amounts and explore what increases steadiness, choice, or connection to the present.
Jordan may ask what you notice physically while discussing an experience, then slow down to observe whether the sensation changes. A session may include posture, movement, orientation to the room, or attention to breathing.
Body awareness is an invitation, not a requirement. It can be shortened, adjusted, or set aside at any time.
Physical symptoms are not automatically interpreted as psychological.
Conversation and reflection remain central parts of therapy.
Medical concerns stay within the care of appropriate healthcare professionals.
