The Activate Change Podcast

In this episode, Gabrielli has a session with Evyan, a sensitive, deeply loving mother navigating the unraveling of an old identity — the one who rescues, saves, feels, and fixes for everyone else. Raised in an alcoholic family where her body became the emotional alert system, Evyan explores what it means to let go of rescuing as a way of being. Listen as she reconnects with her own innocence, releases the old mission, and remembers that her presence is enough.This is Evyan's first session with Gabrielli and she is completely new to The LaChiara Method.And make sure to listen through to the end where Chloë shares some reflections on the save/rescue identity and offers ways to start working with it differently, with more compassion and choice.---------------------Doors are now open for Radically YOU: The Ultimate Roadmap to a More Rooted, Resilient, and Radiant YOU! It's our BRAND NEW self-paced course designed to help you feel like you can be yourself—your real self.

Some conversations don't just shift your perspective—they rearrange you. This is one of them.In this episode of The Activate Change Podcast, I (Chloë) sit down with Dr. Rae Johnson—one of the most brilliant minds in somatics and social justice, a leading voice in embodied activism, and one of my own beloved coaches and mentors. Rae has held me through some of the most pivotal moments of my life: caring for my father through terminal cancer, grieving his loss, stepping into my own power as a healer, teacher, and leader.What I've come to realize is that this deep personal somatic work isn't just personal—it's political. And really important. In this conversation, we dive into: ✨ How oppression lives inside our bodies—not just “out there” in the world ✨ Why mind-body disconnect isn't accidental (hint: systems of power depend on it) ✨ The sneaky, internalized rules we follow without even realizing it (hello, introjects) ✨ How embodiment isn't just about feeling better—it's about reclaiming what was stolenRae's book, Embodied Activism, puts words to things you've felt your entire life but never had language for.You'll not leave this conversation the same and maybe a step closer to being even more yourself than you have in a long, long time.A little bit more about Dr. Rae Johnson:Rae Johnson, PhD, RSW, RSMT, BCC is a social worker, somatic movement therapist, and scholar/activist working at the intersections of embodiment and social justice. Rae's approach to their work has been shaped by decades of frontline engagement with street youth, women in addiction recovery, psychiatric survivors, and members of the queer community. Since completing their doctoral studies at the University of Toronto, Rae has held academic positions in several somatic psychology programs, including at Naropa University and Pacifica Graduate Institute. They currently teach somatic psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies and co-direct an online certificate program in embodied social justice.Rae's research on the everyday embodied experiences of oppression has been articulated in numerous publications, including their books Embodied Social Justice and Embodied Activism. Committed to making their research both accessible and impactful, Rae also designs and produces collaborative community performances that engage non-academic audiences in the issues that affect members of marginalized communities. Anchored in a form of embodied narrative ethnography called ‘body stories', these performances are designed to elicit a visceral (not just intellectual) response to the material.For more info on Dr. Rae Johnson, go to: https://raejohnsonsomatic.com/Claim your FREE GIFT "The Ultimate Self Care Bundle to Clear Your Energy, Boost Your Vitality & Feed Your Soul" Here: https://lachiaramethod.com/podcast-bundleExperience or learn more about the method: https://lachiaramethod.comFollow us on Tiktok: @lachiara_methodFollow us on Instagram: @lachiara_methodMusic by Aly Halpert: https://www.alyhalpert.com/

What does it take to truly thrive after experiencing trauma? And how does trauma shape us in ways we might not even realize?These are questions that hit close to home for me, especially as someone who has walked the incredibly challenging healing road after sexual trauma. That's why I'm especially excited to share this conversation with you.In this episode I am so honored to share with you an interview I did in 2019 with Dr. Thema Bryant, who's such an inspiring and powerful voice in the field of trauma recovery. Her approach is a unique blend of psychology, spirituality, and embodied healing practices.In the conversation, we explore the nuances of interpersonal trauma and why it often impacts survivors differently than other types of trauma. Dr. Thema also emphasizes the importance of understanding cultural context and how oppression plays a significant role in trauma, and the healing process. Her insights on reclaiming sexuality and reconnecting with the body after trauma were especially meaningful to me, and I believe they'll resonate with many of you who are survivors of sexual trauma. And if you're not a survivor, but are close to someone that is, especially if you're in a romantic partnership with them, my hope is that this will help bring more awareness as to how to support your partner and navigate your shared intimacy with greater understanding.Here's a sneak peak into the conversation:Why interpersonal trauma hits so differently—how it feels like it steals a piece of you and what it takes to heal from that.How culture, oppression, and our environments impact healing. (This one is so so important!) What it means to truly reclaim your body and sexuality, step by tender step, and how to come home to yourselfA surprising twist on forgivenessHow sharing our trauma stories can be a profound and powerful step towards healing and whyHow important it is to address embodied healing as survivors, not just talk therapyA little bit more about Dr. Thema Bryant: Dr. Thema Bryant completed her doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Duke University and her post-doctoral training at Harvard Medical Center's Victims of Violence Program. Upon graduating, she became the Coordinator of the Princeton University SHARE Program, which provides intervention and prevention programming to combat sexual assault, sexual harassment, and harassment based on sexual orientation. She is currently a tenured professor of psychology in the Graduate School of Education and Psychology at Pepperdine University, where she directs the Culture and Trauma Research Laboratory. Her clinical and research interests center on interpersonal trauma and the societal trauma of oppression. She is a past president of the Society for the Psychology of Women and a past APA representative to the United Nations. Dr. Thema also served on the APA Committee on International Relations in Psychology and the Committee on Women in Psychology.Having earned a master's of divinity, Dr. Thema is an ordained elder in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. She directs the mental health ministry at First AME Church in South Los Angeles. Dr. Thema also utilizes sacred dance and spoken word in therapy, community forums, and faith communities.

Welcome back to this two part episode of our deep dive with Brenna! In our previous episode, we heard Brenna work through her doubts and fears about her relationship, as she navigated through the terrain of family history, codependency, and finding self-responsibility.Today, we pick back up with a session they did just a week and a half after the first session you heard last week. After that first session, Brenna hit a significant wall of discomfort and some pretty intense feelings came up. She faced moments of wanting to sabotage her progress and she got caught up in her partner's patterns, losing her center and clarity about her own choices and actions.So, they decided to do a follow up session where Brenna navigated through the muckiness, and regained her sense of self, and reset into a much more grounded, generative space. It's a really special session to listen to.   And at the end, Chloë speaks into an all too familiar pattern. Have you ever fallen in love with someone's essence? You know, that magnetic, fire-in-your-belly, swoon-worthy attraction that makes you think, “This is my person!” only to find out that maybe, just maybe, you were more in love with the idea of them, more than the reality?Well, stay tuned until after their session, and get ready to laugh, cringe, and (hopefully) relate, because Chloë shares all about this challenging conundrum and some thoughts that might help you navigate what the blend of chemistry AND safe, human to human connection can look like in relationships of all kinds. Claim your FREE GIFT "8 Days to a Clearer, Happier YOU in 3 Minutes a Day or Less" Here: https://lachiaramethod.com/podcast-giftExperience or learn more about the method: https://lachiaramethod.comFollow us on Instagram: @lachiara_methodMusic by Aly Halpert: https://www.alyhalpert.com/
