What Is Embodiment and Why Does it Matter?

Welcome to a new season of Therapy and Theology, where we explore relevant topics related to faith, feelings, and spiritual formation. This season we are diving into exploring the term embodiment and its importance in our lives emotionally, relationally, and spiritually. 

Today’s episode seeks to provide a definition for the exploration of Embodiment as the interactive perspective of personhood that seeks to reclaim the body as a central aspect of humanity. In this introduction to the season, we ask some initial questions:

Why does it Matter? 

What makes it difficult? 

What are we to do? 

My prayer for this season is that we would seek to attune to our bodies and remind our bodies that healthy attachments with others and God are built on authenticity and communication. I hope this episode invites you to join me on this journey of what it means to connect to our bodies and learn from it again.
