Who you are isn't just in your head, it's in your shoulders, your jaw, your breath pattern, your posture. This episode makes the case that identity is somatic: built and held in the body long before it's built in thought. Verity introduces interoception, the sense that lets you actually feel what's happening inside your body and explains why most people who've lived through stress or trauma have it turned down. Then she gets specific about what somatic work and breathwork actually do: not manage feelings, but rebuild the physical blueprint of who you believe yourself to be.
