Every emotion tells the story of a system in your client’s body that wants to keep them safe. Inside each feeling, their body’s chemistry changes. Some signals heighten awareness, others help them connect with others. All signals work to provide your client with balance given their current knowledge and circumstance. What you see here isn’t good or bad chemistry, just like there are no good or bad feelings. It’s simply the body’s language of adaptation.
