Have you ever felt like your body is trying to send you a message, but you just can’t quite understand what it’s saying?
In this episode of From Both Sides of the Couch, Dr. Laurie Bruce explores three simple yet powerful mindfulness strategies you can start practicing today to slow down, tune in, and truly hear what your body is saying.
Dr. Bruce guides listeners in understanding the “love language” of the body—the subtle signals it sends to guide, protect, and heal. She also shares fascinating, research-backed insights from neuroscience on how stress and pain manifest physically, and what you can do to respond with care.
“Our bodies are lifelong companions,” Dr. Bruce reminds us. “They’re always on our side, always working to protect us.” This episode invites listeners to pause, listen deeply, and treat their bodies like the trusted friends they are.
