What if your emotions don't just pass through you – but actually stay stored in your body?

In this episode, Chrissie dives into Emotional Body Awareness – the somatic and energetic layer of your being where unprocessed emotions live.  You'll learn why suppressing feelings often leads to physical symptoms, how to begin naming what you feel without fear, and why awareness is the first step in healing.

Whether you're carrying grief, anxiety, or a constant hum of emotional tension, this episode will help you begin listening to what your body has been trying to tell you.

You'll Learn:

• What the Emotional Body actually is – and how emotions are stored physically
• Why the body expresses emotional pain as tension, fatigue, or illness
• How cultural conditioning leads us to suppress what we feel
• The "pendulum theory" of emotion – and why numbing pain also numbs joy
• 3 simple awareness tools to begin reconnecting with your body today

Key Takeaways:

• Unfelt emotions don't disappear – they live in the body
• Emotional awareness doesn't mean you're broken – it means you're present
• You don't need to fix what you feel.  You just need to feel it
• Healing begins not with doing – but with noticing
