\u201cI think we need each other. I say this all the time, there are some things that are too big to feel in one body. You need a collective body to move them through. And I think that's what we need. We need to come together in spaces to heal, not just to consume together or to watch a movie together, but to feel together and to have human emotion in real life, in public and act from the place of a feeling body, to choose action from a feeling body and not just a reactive or a numb body, but a body that feels, a body that can connect. What kind of actions do you take in the world from that kind of body? I think it's different.\u201d\nSo says Prentis Hemphill, therapist, embodiment facilitator, and author of the just-released, What it Takes to Heal: How Transforming Ourselves Can Change the World. In today\u2019s conversation\u2014the final in a four-part series\u2014we explore a path to putting ourselves, and the collective, back together, and how this begins with a visioning\u2026but a visioning born from getting back in touch with how we actually feel. I loved their book\u2014just by reading along with Prentis\u2019s own path to re-embodiment, I found myself finding similar sensations in my chest, back and heart. In today\u2019s conversation, we talk about somatics, yes, but also about conflict\u2014and what it looks like to become more adept with our emotions in hard times. This is one of my favorite conversations I\u2019ve had to date on Pulling the Thread\u2014I hope you enjoy it too.\n\nMORE FROM PRENTIS HEMPHILL:\nWhat it Takes to Heal: How Transforming Ourselves Can Change the World\nPrentis\u2019s Website\nThe Embodiment Institute\nFollow Prentis on Instagram\n\nRELATED EPISODES:\nPART 1: James Gordon, M.D., \u201cA Toolkit for Working with Trauma\u201d\nPART 2: Peter Levine, Ph.D, \u201cWhere Trauma Lives in the Body\u201d\nPART 3: Resmaa Menakem, \u201cFinding Fear in the Body (TRAUMA)\u201d\nThomas Hubl: \u201cFeeling into the Collective Presence\u201d\nGabor Mat\xe9, M.D.: \u201cWhen Stress Becomes Illness\u201d\nGalit Atlas, PhD: \u201cUnderstanding Emotional Inheritance\u201d\nThomas Hubl: \u201cProcessing Our Collective Past\u201d\nRichard Schwartz, PhD: \u201cRecovering Every Part of Ourselves\u201d\n \nTo learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy\n \n Learn more about your ad choices.
