Have you ever felt a knot in your stomach because you fear you've upset someone?

In this episode of Speak Honest, I have a heartfelt conversation with Jo, a long-time client, about her ongoing struggle with the fear of upsetting others. Despite doing extensive work on her self-worth and understanding her core wounds, Jo still finds herself trapped in cycles of overthinking and anxiety. We delve into the importance of somatic processing—getting out of our heads and into our bodies. Jo shares her vivid experience of feeling a fluttering bird with a sharp beak in her stomach, a metaphor for her anxiety. Together, we explore how recognizing and giving compassion to these bodily sensations can lead to deeper healing. Tune in to discover practical steps to shift from overanalyzing to somatic awareness and learn how to give yourself the compassion you deserve.
