As a body-oriented psychotherapist, I guide my clients to check in with their bodies to help them make confident decisions. For example, a client recently struggled with whether to go on the second interview for a potential new job. Many aspects of her current job caused her unhappiness. In contrast, the new job offered higher pay, better working conditions, and a more supportive environment. It seemed a natural move. However, as we talked, she realized that her current job provided stability and flexibility, which reduced stress in her family responsibilities. She struggled with uncertainty about whether she needed to put her family's needs first in this situation. Or, instead, if this was a situation to prioritize her needs which is not her habit. On the surface, it appeared that this might be a time to put herself first.
