In this interview we connect with Dr. Liz Letchford, an expert in biomechanics, kinesiology, and athletic training, as she talks about her unique approach to guiding people to reconnect with their bodies and heal from trauma. She unpacks the concept of proprioceptive awareness, or body's ability to sense itself (the sixth sense), and shares how an increased awareness of the body can lead to many benefits like less injury, greater control, and stronger emotional resilience. From her personal experience and training as a dominatrix as well, she has developed techniques for taking individuals on a journey of exploring their emotions and pushing their physical boundaries. She stresses on the importance of learning to feel, surrendering control, and understanding the role society plays in suppressing these important aspects of our health and humanity. She teaches in her weekly sessions, called Body Church, to guide people to truly understand their physical selves and ultimately become more sovereign in their bodies.
