The Gap Between Known and Unknown
I write about this all the time, and it bears repeating. As a somatic therapist my role is to connect people with their body from the inside of their experience. I help people become more aware of their sensations, patterns, emotions, images, and stories. Often we also explore how this internal experience integrates with the objective reality of anatomy. We experiment together through movement and awareness, opening up the gap between what is known and unknown. This is a powerful spot—a place of mystery: It is here that new solutions to common problems and patterns emerge. In this video Kelly and I find that her ribs have been held tight, use touch to help them move, and explore implications for her and all of us.
