Claire explains how somatic work can bring attention to physical sensation alongside thoughts and emotions. She discusses chronic holding and tension, the role of supportive touch in Rosen Method Bodywork, and why patterns that once helped us cope do not necessarily need to be treated as something wrong with us. They also explore the balance between ignoring bodily sensations and becoming overwhelmed by them, the fear and tension that can develop around an injury, and how small, manageable movements can help people explore what feels possible. The conversation closes with Claire\u2019s ideas about aliveness, warmth, presence, connection, and change without force.
