I'm joined by my teacher Jay Moon Fields to discuss the transformative journey of embodied self-care. Jay shares insights from over 20 years working somatically to help people develop mindfulness of the mind-body connection. We explore how trauma and suppression impact sensitivity, and how developing skills for feeling feelings can help overcome addiction and conditioning. Learn practical tools Jay has shared with me for setting boundaries, applying knowledge with our whole being, and choosing ourselves each day.Episode Highlights:  Understand how trauma and suppression impact the mind-body connection Recognise signs of highly sensitive people and develop coping skills beyond numbing Start with acknowledging feelings you're resisting rather than avoiding them Develop embodied tools to apply what you intellectually understand Challenge binary thinking and the idea that there is only one reality Learn how somatic coaching can help rebuild self-worth infrastructure Episode links & Resources: Find out more about Jay at https://jaymoonfields.com/  Follow Jay on Insta at https://www.instagram.com/fieldsofjay/  Learn more about Emma Gilmour at: www.hoperisingcoaching.com Follow Emma Gilmour on insta @hoperisingcoaching My Upcoming Coached Events & Programs: Join Emma's VIP ELITE experience here: https://www.hoperisingcoaching.com/offers/k7AXMNPG  Join Emma's Be The Lighthouse membership here: https://www.hoperisingcoaching.com/bethelighthouse  Get Emma's NEW Visualisation audio download at https://www.hoperisingcoaching.com/northstarvisualisation  Emma's Awareness worksheets for people wanting to prepare prior to taking a break from drinking or reduce their drinking by being more mindful about what and why they drink https://www.hoperisingcoaching.com/awareness-worksheets-opt-in  Emma's 5 Day Alcohol Reset for people looking to take a quick reset https://www.hoperisingcoaching.com/fivedayreset  Join The Self-Paced Great Aussie Alcohol Experiment at https://www.hoperisingcoaching.com/aae  Loved this episode?
