Description
Yuichi Shimohara and five co-authors study two inner states in people with addiction: body awareness and trouble naming feelings. Both have been tied to addiction, yet their link to each other is less clear. The team gave three short surveys to ninety-four patients in care for addiction. One survey gauged body awareness, one gauged trouble with naming feelings, and one gauged distress.
Body awareness rose and fell with the feelings score, and the tie held after age, sex, and distress were taken into account. Distress alone showed only a weak tie. The link did not vary by type of addiction. The paper ties body sense more to feeling skills than to present strain.
