Video Q&A: “How can I connect to my body?”

Lucy Newport • Apr 23, 2024
Reading / watching time: 21 mins 


This month's Q&A video is around the topic of connection (which is one of my favourites!) and comes from Aga with the question “I’ve been binge eating for over 20 years and at this point feel like I’m completely disconnected from my body all of the time. How can I start connecting to it?”. 

In this video, we get into: 
  • Understanding the ways you’ve disconnected from your body
  • The underlying reasons for this disconnection
  • The question you can ask yourself in any moment to begin reconnecting
  • Four simple practices to help bring you back into your body

I’m sorry that parts of the video go in and out of focus - I think I was moving a bit too enthusiastically!

Naming your feelings
If you’re intrigued as to why naming your feelings (Affect Labeling) can help not only connect you to what you’re feeling within your body, but also reduce the intensity of uncomfortable emotions, this paper published in 2018 titled
“Putting Feelings Into Words: Affect Labeling as Implicit Emotion Regulation” goes into it in lots of detail.
