If you have trouble finding the sensations, no need to worry. That’s happened with about a quarter of the people that I’ve taught body communication to. It may take a little more time, but you can get it working. Your body may have found, at some point in your life, that these default responses were ineffective at getting you to take care of your body the way your body wanted you to. As a result, your body may have completely abandoned activating these behavior-directing sensations. In some cases, your body may have switched to providing alternative responses, such as aches or pains. In other cases, there is no noticeable, reliable alternative communication method being employed. Either way, it’s not hard to get it working again. | If you have trouble finding the sensations, no need to worry.

In addition, since internal attempts at getting our attention and directing our behavior are often experienced as negative symptoms, there can be interference from medications or other substances, such as alcohol or marijuana. So far, I do have some evidence that marijuana causes interference with getting body communication to work, but I am unaware of what other substances and medications may also have this effect. | |||
