Scenario

When couples doing somatic healing work struggle with simultaneous attunement

My wife and I started doing breathwork together to help with her anxiety and my chronic pain, but something intense came up for her in our last session and I realized I have no idea how to hold space for her experience while also staying present with what's happening in my own body — I either abandon myself to focus on her or I get so self-focused that I can't attune to her at all.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Partners are discovering that healing together requires a capacity for dual awareness that neither has developed.
