Episode Details

What if our emotions are communicating through far more of the body than we ever imagined?

In this episode, Joanne considers things she learned through the groundbreaking work of Dr. Candace Pert. Dr Pert is the neuroscientist whose scientific discoveries helped transform our understanding of the relationship between mind, body and emotion.

Through her research into neuropeptides and their receptors, and her influential book Molecules of Emotion, Pert revealed a remarkable body-wide communication network, challenging the long-held, classical idea that our physical and emotional lives are separate.

Joanne reflects on how Pert’s work influenced her own understanding of fascia, psychosomatic intelligence and the living body, and why it helped give her the confidence to develop the concept of biomotional intelligence.

Along the way, she questions the mechanical language we still use to describe human movement. Joanne explores the essential relevance of soft matter physics and the continuous architecture of fascia. How are our feelings, movement and physical form so intimately connected?

It's a celebration of a remarkable scientist whose work continues to inspire us to reconsider what it means to be a thinking, feeling, living human being.
