EPISODE DESCRIPTION
In this first episode of Body As Witness, we begin at the harbour.

This episode is an invitation to arrive — just as you are — and to explore what it means for the nervous system to settle through being met, rather than fixed.

Through a gentle, imaginal journey from harbour to island, into the jungle and finally to the fire, Joe introduces the core approach of Body As Witness: presence, choice, and companionship.

At the fire, Joe shares a personal story about meeting family after a long time apart, and discovering that simply being present — without fixing or managing — can bring a quiet sense of relief.

This episode explores:

• what it means to be “met” in relationship
• why safety doesn’t always feel familiar
• how the nervous system learns through small moments, not force
• the experience of coming back home to yourself

There’s nothing to get right here.
Just a place to begin — and to return to.
