Kristin emphasizes the importance of connecting with the body to experience self-compassion, as emotions are felt both cognitively and physically. She shares her personal journey of managing tension without needing to analyze its origins, advocating for a practice that focuses on providing love and kindness to oneself in moments of pain. This approach highlights that while understanding the narrative can be beneficial, the true healing often lies in the physical sensations and emotional support we give ourselves.In this clip

How does body awareness help in healing emotional trauma?
Does this make sense or align with what Andrew Huberman discussed about erasing fear and trauma and the process required to do that? Can you explain to me the similarities and why meditation seems to work, even though people aren't actually retelling the narrative of the trauma over and over? It seems more like they are watching it and trying to keep their body calm to not engage with it physiologically.
