# Sensing Before Naming

### Somatic Tools for Alexithymia

What if the challenge isn’t that you “don’t have feelings”…
but that you were never taught how to sense them? 🌿

Alexithymia is often described as difficulty identifying or describing emotions.
But beneath that label is something deeply human:

A nervous system that learned to move forward without pausing long enough to feel.

In this gathering, we explore:

• The difference between sensation and story
• Why thinking harder doesn’t unlock emotion
• How the body signals before the mind can name
• How relational safety expands emotional access ✨
• Simple somatic practices that build emotional granularity

This is not about forcing feelings.
It is about learning to notice. 🔥

Through guided exercises and discussion, we’ll practice:

• Tracking internal sensations
• Pausing before labeling
• Expanding interoceptive awareness
• Staying with subtle signals
• Translating body cues into emotional language

If the contents of your mind shape the quality of your life…
what happens when you begin sensing before naming? 💜
