Clinical psychologist Dr Susan Sands believes that we should stop focusing on the image of what our bodies look like on the outside and instead cultivate a more pleasurable experience of what our internal world feels like. Dr Sands is known for her trailblazing work in female development and body-based disorders and brings in body-focused practises from Buddhist techniques in her work with patients.
She has studied thoroughly, research on #interoception which we touch on in this conversation and we practiced a reflective somatic exercise. There’s a link below for her excellent new book The Inside Story which covers these topics.
