I got used to using my torso to feel what's happening a couple years ago. I found out that I was simply thinking about how I was feeling instead of feeling how I was feeling in my body. It kind of blew my mind when I found out that emotions pretty much always come out somewhere in the body (different for each person and each emotion). Before that I had never even considered that I could reliably assess my feeling that way. I'm a very cognitive person, so I was never really looking past the thinking part of it.
I think there may be a lot of people like I was that simply think about his they're feeling and never really check with their actual body.
For example, previously someone would ask me how I'm feeling in the past and I would likely take a moment to think about whether I recall anything being upsetting recently and answer based on that rather than going to my body to find sensations.
The bodily sensations likely affected me still, but never made it to my conscious mind and always stayed unconscious. It was very mind-blowing that all this was right there the entire time in my body tbh.
