Sensations in the Body
This free guide helps you understand what’s actually happening in your body when you feel overwhelmed, anxious, shut down, or activated. Instead of jumping straight to “emotions,” it shows how to identify the raw physical sensations underneath — things like pressure, buzzing, tingling, tightness, warmth, heaviness, shaking, or constriction.
It includes visuals, a full list of body sensations, prompts, the S.E.P.I.C. framework (sensations → emotions → perceptions → interpretations → core beliefs), and a real conversation example that shows how to walk someone through what they’re feeling in their body.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
• The difference between what your mind needs vs what your body needs (pages 2–4 visuals)
• How to identify raw sensations rather than labeling emotions too fast
• A full list of body sensations (burning, buzzing, pressure, heaviness, tightness, etc.)
• How to ask your body what it’s trying to say
• Why sensations come before emotions
• How sensations turn into emotions → perceptions → stories → beliefs (S.E.P.I.C.)
• A real example of guiding someone through body awareness step-by-step
WHO THIS IS FOR
• Anyone who struggles to identify what they’re feeling
• People who jump straight to “I’m sad” or “I’m mad” without knowing their body cues
• Adults who get overwhelmed or shut down quickly
• Parents wanting to help their kids name sensations
• Couples working on self-regulation during conflict
• Coaches/guides who support emotional or somatic work
THE PROBLEM THIS SOLVES
Most people don’t know how to track what’s happening in their body — they skip straight to a big emotion or a story. That keeps them stuck, confused, or reactive.
This guide helps you:
• slow down
• identify sensations accurately
• understand what your body is signaling
• move out of overwhelm
• build better emotional awareness
• stay more regulated in hard moments
It teaches the foundation of all somatic work:
you can’t change what you can’t feel.
