Somatic Tracking For Difficult Emotions: Finding Safety
This practice is inspired by Alan Gordon and Mandy Mercuri. It's an invitation to become more familiar with difficult emotions through the body. Rather than trying to get rid of an emotion, we’ll gently explore its physical sensations with curiosity, kindness and most of all, a sense of safety. You’ll be invited to observe the emotion like watching fish in a tank — without needing to control or change what is happening. We’ll also practise moving between the difficult experience and sensations that feel neutral, comfortable or supportive. The invitation is simply to discover that an emotion can be uncomfortable without necessarily being dangerous, and that we can learn to be with difficult feelings in a different way.
