An excerpt from Sue's book, Nothing to Fix >

Relying solely on our thoughts and intellect to heal our emotional pain is like trying to move an object by picking up its shadow. That is not where the source is. It is in our body; therefore, we must first interface with the sensations in the body in order to heal. By using tools as simple as breath and movement to put space between our body sensations, thoughts, feelings and actions, we can feel empowered. Change happens because our new sense of empowerment, and new body responses, eventually become part of our implicit memory. Our thoughts and actions follow suit. It took courage for me to get up on the stage when I was in Hawaii. Crying in front of anyone felt like a death sentence. But I can tell you that I have cried on stage in front of people at least a dozen times since then, because that first experience in 2006 gave me the confidence to trust that I would be OK. Not only that, every time the outcome was the same—it helped people. I promise you that one day you will experience something that previously would have sent you into a tailspin of fear or self-loathing, but that feeling won’t be there.
