New Program Day 11: Pain Reprocessing
Hi Nicole,
What a great question.

With somatic tracking, you're not doing anything other than following along wherever and whatever you happen to feel in your body. One of the most important parts of somatic tracking is that you're simply attending free of fear.

But what if you're tracking your body, and your attention happens to go to your pain? It can be hard to attend to that free of fear.

Systematic desensitization is simply an exercise that can help you learn to attend to your pain with less fear, so that if your attention happens to take you there organically, you're able to attend to it more objectively.
