In this episode of the Narcissism Recovery Podcast, Yitz Epstein takes you on a journey through the powerful method of somatic healing. Yitz, a seasoned narcissistic abuse and relationship life coach, explains how tuning into our bodily sensations can help us understand and heal from our traumas. Drawing inspiration from Peter A.
Levine's book, 'Waking the Tiger', Yitz breaks down the concept of the felt sense—a term coined by Eugene Gendlin—to illustrate how our bodies can guide us towards emotional and psychological recovery. The felt sense is described as a bodily awareness that provides real-time feedback about our experiences and emotions. By paying attention to these subtle signals, we can gain deeper insights into our traumas and the ways they affect us.
Yitz also touches on the importance of interoception, the body's internal sensory system, in regulating our emotional responses and helping us stay grounded in the present moment. Through engaging anecdotes and practical advice, Yitz encourages you to explore somatic healing techniques such as body scans and mindful breathing exercises. These practices can help you become more aware of your physical sensations and use them as tools for healing.
Yitz emphasises that understanding and working with the felt sense can lead to profound personal growth and emotional resilience. Whether you're dealing with narcissistic abuse, childhood trauma, or any other form of emotional pain, this episode offers valuable insights and practical steps to help you on your healing journey.
