Somatic Seasons The Podcast

Hey there! This little ep is a tiny window into some of my Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) Journey. I cover the main things I noticed immediately after starting the SSP - and I mention a huge realization I had one day whilst sitting at the Murray River and feeling so different in my body (in the best way). What is the SSP? - The SSP is a short-course you can do at home, listening to curated music, that will help you better manage stress, relax, and be calmer, by training your vagus nerve in a relaxing way. - The SSP is a total of 5 hours of listening to specially designed music that has been filtered to change how you perceive and hear sound. - It trains the Inner Ear to pick up on “safer” sounds, such as the human voice. - All this means is you then have a more foundational level of Safe and Sound feeling within your nervous system and body. - The SSP is created by Dr Steven Porges, who wrote The Polyvagal Theory - and is heavily based around Polyvagal Theory and Nervous System Balance and Healing. - If you'd like to be guided and supported by me to complete the SSP - please get in touch and I can help you with it, or any questions you may have. Here are some links to videos, resources, and of course - all the links on how to book in with me or chat with me regarding the SSP or my Somatic Wellness Coaching services: If you'd like some more information via email - contact 'Abbey Stanbrook' via email or dm me in Socials: abbeystanbrook@gmail.com Instagram; https://www.instagram.com/abbeyheartlove/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abbey.elliott.58/ https://www.facebook.com/heartfeltcompassionatetransformations/ Abbey's website and online calendar coming soon!

Today I had the pleasure of chatting with Tessa Marnane. Tessa is a mother of two, of Irish origin. She worked in the care industry since she was 18, has done a variety of work with vulnerable people. Since becoming a mother Tess's oath has changed, and her own experience with homebirth led her to the passion of supporting Women in birth - especially the postpartum period. Living abroad without direct family support has shown Tess that women need a village along with essential care, and unconditional love. She wants to nurture other women so they don't feel isolated when they are most vulnerable during pregnancy and post partum.

You can connect with Arti and her Platforms via Instagram: artishah10 Human chapters on Instagram: huma.nchapters Arti's Art & Poetry on Instagram: arts_by_arti Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/humanbookclub Quote by Dr Maryanne Wolf: “While reading, we can leave our own consciousness, and pass over into the consciousness of another person, another age, another culture. "Passing over," a term used by the theologian John Dunne, describes the process through which reading enables us to try on, identify with, and ultimately enter for a brief time the wholly different perspective of another person's consciousness. When we pass over into how a knight thinks, how a slave feels, how a heroine behaves, and how an evildoer can regret or deny wrongdoing, we never come back quite the same; sometimes we're inspired, sometimes saddened, but we are always enriched. Through this exposure we learn both the commonality and the uniqueness of our own thoughts -- that we are individuals, but not alone.” ― Maryanne Wolf The Reading Brain - Maryanne Wolf with Brian Miller https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1zaCyZ7dPw Podcast Episode we discussed: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/185-the-art-of-talking-to-children-with-rebecca-rolland-ed-d/id1212571693?i=1000575715749 Listen to Arti's beautiful Herstory (history), and chat on the Coffee, Tea, and 3SLPs Podcast: https://anchor.fm/coffee-tea-3-slps/episodes/Episode-8---Interview-with-Arti-Shah-e1oluna (or listen via Apple Podcasts or your Podcast Platform of Choice).

Welcome back to the Podcast! As we wave Goodbye to The Wise Body Poddy, the Body theme is never far from our hearts; so Somatic Seasons The Podcast was born as a re-naming. Here at Somatic Seasons The Podcast We love to honor ALL of our Seasons and Cycles within our Bodies and within our Ecosystems and Environments. You might be experiencing Seasons of Freeze, Flight, Fight, Fawn or a combination of these. Honoring these Seasons and learning about Nervous System Dynamics changed my life and allowed for so much Healing - and a way to Thrive no matter what situation (and to experience the depths of Joy and Pleasure too, Woo!).

If you loved watching Disney's Frozen movie- you may or may not have thought about the various Nervous System states us Humans flow in and (hopefully) out of every day. In this episode Abbey discusses how Elsa and Anna may represent something surprising- the Vagus Nerve.

With reference to Dr Steven Porges and his PolyVagal Theory, see his website for more info https://www.stephenporges.com/ Also reference to Dr Peter Levine's Somatic Experiencing http://www.seaustralia.com.au/

Abbey takes a few minutes to capture a moment of time where she was noticing FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). Body Wisdom can come in many shapes and forms- and Abbey explores what FOMO can sometimes feel like for her, and she also comes back to give tangible examples of how to notice when the opposite of FOMO is occurring, and how to build it into life to thrive.

While watching the repair between parent and child on the animation Bluey (ABC kids, see link below). Abbey realised the importance of practicing various responses in life for children and adults.

Aware Parenting is a well researched Parenting Philosophy; founded by Swiss/American Developmental Psychologist Dr Aletha Solter. Aware Parenting consists of Attachment-style Parenting, Non-Punitive Discipline, and Healing from Stress and Trauma. It's based on deep connection with babies and children and their caregivers- and is a very fun and compassionate way to parent, and way to live. It's also based on how when expressions of emotions are heard and held, how babies and children (and adults) can heal from stress, stimulation, and even trauma. The Wisdom of the Human Body becomes clearer once this information is realised. Abbey enjoys chatting about Aware Parenting in this episode riff, with some simple explanations and examples of what Aware Parenting is - and how she found it. If you Love Aware Parenting, or if you're called to find out more - contact Abbey via IG or FB and find out what she is offering via her Aware Parenting Coaching service.
