Embodied Intersubjectivity: Vitality Affects and Somatic Relational Rhythms (2024 )
This paper, and the case of Tom, demonstrates how embodiment, movement, and vitality affects are central to self-experience and relational healing. Through tracking intersubjective rhythms, I try to illustrate an expanded way of working within psychoanalysis/psychotherapy —one that acknowledges the body as an active participant in meaning-making. Tom’s journey highlights that deep change often begins in the body before it can be put into words. The paper argues that self-psychology does not require the ‘addition’ of a somatic or body theory, as it already contains an implicit somatic dimension, which, when consciously integrated, can enhance therapeutic attunement and responsiveness.
