The Somatic Ghost (Why the Body Remembers)

Have you ever felt a 'shiver' go down your spine for no reason, only to realise it’s the anniversary of a loss? Or perhaps you’ve developed a persistent pain that no doctor can explain? Today, we are investigating the Biology of the Burden. We’re looking at how grief 'lodges' itself in our muscles, our fascia, and our gut.We’re looking at Maurice Merleau-Ponty and the philosophy of The Lived Body. We’re asking: Are you 'In' your body, or are you Your Body? We’re investigating why 'Thinking' our way out of grief often fails because the body hasn't been 'Consulted' yet. If your bones feel heavier than they used to, stay with us. We’re going to look at 'The Somatic Ghost.'Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-grief-lab--6886563/support.
