What I feel can become overwhelming. There are warning signs. They're subtle, but they're there. The more I ignore them, the more intense they become, until nothing can be controlled. I used to not be able to sense why I was getting so angry or upset. As I began to realise how much I have been used to and taught to ignore the sensations and warning signs, (if you can call them that) and as I remained aware in the body, the ,,volcanoes" are not so though. I've got to listen to my body, eat when I'm hungry, drink water before I get a headache. I couldn't do this on my own at first, I was guided and I'm grateful to have heard of dance therapy. It is not easy, but the discomfort is there. It's something I observe with, something I empathise with. I haven't resorted to unhealthy habits for a long time, and this has given me more freedom.
