Yes! Because, in noticing my body in different situations, I began to realize that connecting felt scary to me. I then understood why I kept my friends at a “safe” distance and why I was never really interested in long term relationships. Understanding the “why”, allowed me to notice the sensations while with friends and others and “invite” my left brain in to help remind me that I was safe and did not need to keep everyone at arms length. I believe this exercise help build new neuronal connections rewiring my brain. Socializing feels much more comfortable and rewarding!
