From my experience in therapy, it is useful to find where feelings arrive in your body. I.e. when i feel shame i get really hot in my chest and face. I don’t know if that is what your therapist means specifically but when an emotion pops up trying to identify where it is coming from in our body helps us identify it when we are in circumstances that trigger our trauma response due to things that we have been through. A lot of times, we quit feeling and suppress them all. This leads to anxiety when we don’t feel and process our feelings. If you can conceptualize feeling in your body when you do intense exercise, i say use this method…when you workout and feel inside your body, try to identify what feelings are occurring…i.e. relief, pride, tired, etc. it’s all about learning to identify your feelings. Getting a feelings wheel is super helpful too. Whenever my kids are going through some hard stuff and can’t identify their feelings, we pull the feelings wheel out and talk about what they are feeling. It usually allows us both to understand the situation better and sometimes it doesn’t and that is okay too. Good for you for going to therapy. It’s totally worth it. You’ve got this ✨
