🧘‍♀️Mind-body connection

The mind & the body are not two separate entities, although they are often treated that way.

Chemistry & biology 🔁 mood, emotions, behaviour, thoughts & beliefs.
➡️Communication happens via chemical & physical messengers, such as hormones & neurotransmitters

🏵️If you’ve ever felt your stomach tighten up when you were anxious, you’ve experienced the mind-body connection

💛Befriending the body💛

Physical self-awareness is often the first step in mental health treatments.
in therapy, one way of exploring emotions is by noticing sensations in the body such as pressure, heat, breathing, tension, tingling, pain, hollowness, etc.

🏵️Have you ever noticed a gnawing pain in the stomach when thinking about a negative event.

✳️Our body reproduces the mental content of events✳️

⚠️When these events are traumatic, noticing the physical sensations can be very distressing. This process needs professional guidance.
