In this candid conversation, couples and sex therapist Dr. Nicole Van Ness, LMFT joins Dr. Marianne to explore how developmental trauma shapes attachment styles, body image, sexual desire, and day-to-day intimacy. Nicole explains what developmental trauma is, how it differs from or overlaps with complex PTSD, and why chronic misattunement in childhood can echo through adult relationships, stress responses, and self-regulation. You will hear practical, compassionate strategies to rebuild safety, agency, and connection in your body and with your partner. What You'll Learn Developmental trauma 101: How repeated misattunement and lack of repair in childhood influence trust, safety, and the nervous system in adulthood. Attachment and sex: How anxious and avoidant patterns can create desire pursuer–withdrawer cycles, sensitivity to rejection, and misaligned invitations for sex. Body image and pleasure: Why self-loathing, dissociation, and low interoceptive awareness can shift sex from pleasure to performance and how to return to embodied enjoyment. Masturbation as self-care: Ways self-pleasure can restore agency, support trauma recovery, and improve partnered intimacy through curiosity, consent, and pacing. Desire discrepancy: How to reframe a declined invitation as information rather than personal rejection and how to stay connected when desire levels differ. Pelvic and sexual pain: How chronic stress and hypervigilance can contribute to issues like vaginismus and pelvic floor tension and why relaxation and safety matter. Neurodivergence and RSD: Tools for identifying rejection sensitive dysphoria in the moment and naming it with your partner to reduce spirals and repair faster. Eroticism and aliveness: Gentle, stepwise practices that rebuild embodiment and pleasure, from sensing music and movement to sharing desire with a partner. Key Takeaways Trauma adaptations are creative survival strategies. They deserve respect while you learn new options that fit your current life. Pleasure requires enough safety, agency, and self-worth to receive and enjoy it. These ingredients can be rebuilt. Honest conversations about boundaries, pacing, and permission support intimacy more than duty or performance. Small, consistent body-based practices help restore interoception, reduce hypervigilance, and widen your window of tolerance during sex and affection. Gentle Practices to Try Name your nervous system state: Am I keyed up, shut down, or settled. Choose regulation first. Solo exploration with care: Treat self-pleasure like self-nurture. Slow it down. Focus on sensation, comfort, and curiosity. Low-stakes embodiment: Sway to a favorite song, notice breath, enjoy soft fabrics, or feel grass under your feet. Build from neutral to pleasant sensations. Clear invitations and exits: Ask for what you want. Offer options. Affirm that no is welcome. Agree on easy ways to pause or change course. Rejection reframe: A no is information about timing or capacity, not your worth. Validate disappointment and stay connected.

From Hijacked to Healing: Navigating Triggers, Sobriety, and Repair after Sexual Betrayal Summary Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis break down what “being triggered” actually is—the body's alarm system firing after a stimulus—and how it can hijack thinking and push couples into fight/flight/freeze. They map the reaction sequence (stimulus → thoughts/emotions → chemical surge → flooding) and explain why triggers can surface even years into recovery (Hebbian learning: “neurons that fire together wire together”). You'll learn a practical path to move from reactivity to response: (1) name the trigger (“name it to tame it”), (2) notice where it lives in your body, (3) regulate—timeout, breath, movement, journaling, nature, (4) co-regulate with a sponsor or safe person, (5) practice self-compassion instead of shame, and (6) return for a repair conversation when both are calm. They coach the betraying partner to avoid minimizing or weaponizing the trigger and to offer steady presence and comfort.

Our guest has hosted hundreds of patients on ketamine-assisted psychedelic trips and has gone on a few of his own, yet his experience is that dreamwork can be even more profound. In this show, a replay of a popular show from August 2024 Katherine talks to Dr. Darren Jakubec, an emergency-room anesthetist who runs a pain clinic in northern British Columbia. Jake talks about his history with dreaming and inner work and then gives an example of working a dream with a pain clinic patient. He describes his experience with a ketamine clinic which he ran for several years, describing psychedelics as an inner work accelerant which uses much of the same language as dreaming. After the break we take a dream share from Steve Popp, co-host of the “In the Garden” program which precedes the Dream Journal on Saturday mornings on KSQD. The dream features powerful spiritual themes which leads us into Jake giving his analogy about psychedelics vs dreaming which he summarizes as fire hose vs garden hose. We take a second dream from Elizabeth from Bellingham WA of a chaotic car trip with a problematic loved one. Books mentioned during the show: The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan, and various work by Gabor Mate. He also mentions the Curable app for dealing with chronic pain. BIO: Darren Jakubec, M.D., is trained in family medicine and in anesthesia and lives and practices in northern British Columbia. Darren has been a dreamworker for 12 years and practices dreamwork in his pain clinic, in his ketamine clinic, in the emergency room, and in the hallways and rooms of the hospital where he works.

Have you ever had a reaction that felt bigger than the situation? Maybe your partner forgot something small, and suddenly you felt worthless. These moments often have roots in our past.In this episode of This Complex Life, I sit down with Tamera Broughton to talk about how our unmet childhood needs show up in adult life, relationships, and emotional reactions. We explore how trauma is more than big, obvious events, it can also be the quiet absence of attunement, delight, or safety when we need it most.Together, we unpack how to recognise when old wounds are being triggered, what healing can look like through therapies like EMDR, and why making the “invisible visible” is key to moving forward.Key Takeaways:Trauma isn't just what happened to you, it's also what was missing.Disproportionate reactions often signal old pain, not just present triggers.Unmet emotional needs can create shaky “scaffolding” that affects self-worth and relationships.Healing involves strengthening internal resources as well as processing past pain.EMDR therapy can help shift old beliefs (“I'm not enough”) into healthier, adaptive ones.Noticing patterns and reactions is the first step toward change.If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend or loved one who's curious about the impact of childhood experiences on adult life.Resources:Tamera's website: https://centreself.com.au/clinicians-item/tamera-broughton-n/ What Happened to You? by Bruce Perry & Oprah WinfreyThe Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der KolkWhat My Bones Know by Stephanie FooConnected Teens https://marievakakis.com.au/connected-teens/Connect with Marie https://thetherapyhub.com.au/ https://marievakakis.com.au/ https://www.instagram.com/marievakakis/Submit a question to the Podcasthttps://forms.gle/nvNQyw9gJXMNnveY6

Breaking Free from Shame: How It Shapes and Strains Our Relationships Summary In this episode, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis, LCSW, dive deep into the destructive cycle of shame and its profound impact on relationships. Shame, often rooted in early childhood experiences, can silently disconnect partners—pulling one inward while leaving the other feeling abandoned and unseen. Together, Kevin and MaryAnn explore: How shame manifests in the body and nervous system as an automatic protective response. The cycle of shame between betrayed partners and those who have acted out, and why both can feel isolated and misunderstood. The difference between guilt ("I made a mistake") and shame ("I am a mistake"). Practical steps to recognize, name, and address shame—such as identifying its origins, noticing its physical cues, and finding safe spaces to share vulnerably. The role of vulnerability, responsibility, and self-compassion in breaking free from shame's grip and restoring intimacy. Listeners will walk away with a clearer understanding of how shame disconnects us from those we love, and with tools to begin shifting toward presence, confidence, and connection.

We've all had bad bosses.We might have even been one. At the very least, we've probably let people down who counted on us.We all carry burdens from our past that show up in how we lead. And we're all confronting systems that foster toxic workplace cultures where overwork and blurred boundaries are the norm, spaces that don't feel safe or generative, and where there is little to no accountability.The question we face is simple, but urgent: How do we want to lead?Our leadership can reinforce toxic systems and norms. Or we can learn to recognize our own burdens and do the work to become more aware, adaptable, and flexible. We can create spaces where people feel seen, heard, and valued, even when systems feel unstable or unfair.Because leading is about deciding, in every moment, whether we respond from our burdens or from our values. And my guest today helps us reflect on those choices and decide how we want to lead through her own lived experiences with bad bosses. Mita Mallick is a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author who is on a mission to fix what's broken in our workplaces.

Making Sense of and Responding to Tragic and Traumatic Events Special 9/11 & Charlie Kirk Shooting Edition In this special edition of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis, LCSW, reflect on the recent shooting at a university event where Charlie Kirk was injured, alongside the anniversary of 9/11. Together, they explore the rippling effects of tragedy and violence—how fear, anger, sadness, and numbness can show up differently for each person. Kevin shares his personal experience as a parent whose daughter was present on campus during the shooting, describing the fear, violation, and anger that came with the uncertainty of her safety. MaryAnn connects this to past events like Columbine and 9/11, highlighting how communities and families are profoundly changed by trauma. The conversation unpacks: The 10–80–10 rule of human response to crisis: most freeze, some help, and some escalate. How anger often masks deeper grief or fear, and why making sense of emotions is critical. Practical steps for processing trauma—journaling, sitting with your body's sensations, giving emotions language, and seeking safe spaces for group debriefing. The dangers of media overexposure (“alone with media”) and “pain shopping,” which can reinforce trauma instead of fostering healing. The healing power of action, connection, and vulnerability—whether by helping others, checking in on a neighbor, or simply sitting in presence with someone who is hurting. The episode closes with a reminder, inspired by Fred Rogers: in times of tragedy, look for the helpers and be a helper.Healing happens through compassion, community, and connection—not isolation.

Can depression be healed without antidepressants? Josh Trent welcomes Pixie Acia, Spiritual Wellness Coach, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 771, to share how nutraceuticals helped her transition off 15 years of antidepressants, why trauma shows up in our bodies until we face it, and how breathwork, community, and cycle-breaking practices can unlock healing far beyond pharmaceuticals. Nutraceuticals from Altrient (LivOn Labs) In order to repair the structural damage caused by a continual barrage of toxic substances and pathogens, your body requires a constant supply of phospholipids. Whilst humans can synthesise some phospholipid compounds, others are sourced from food. Phospholipids that are obtained from the diet are called ‘essential phospholipids'. The liposomes used in Altrient products are made from essential phospholipids that include a high percentage of Phosphatidylcholine (PC). These liposomes not only provide optimum protection and transport, but they also satisfy the body's need for PC, omega-6 fatty acids, and choline. Now Altrient has taken the power of LET out of the laboratory and put it into your hands. It's why Altrient products are so effective. High-performance nutrients delivering enhanced absorption! Try it for yourself In This Episode, Pixie Acia Uncovers: [01:10] Nutraceuticals: Natural + More Efficient than Anti-Depressants The role of nutraceuticals in treating depression. Why Pixie spent 15 years on depression medications. How liposomal applications help us absorb 80-90% of nutrients from a supplement. Why nutraceuticals provide clarity and allow us to feel our emotions more than antidepressants. How nutraceuticals affect both the brain and the gut. Why depression is a combination of trauma and imbalances in the brain. We can't heal from depression with just one practice. Resources: Pixie Acia LivOn Labs (Altrient) [07:30] Does a Vegan Diet Cause More Harm than Good? How a vegan diet ruined Pixie's health. Why she attached her identity to being vegan and stopped listening to her body. How she switched to a carnivore diet to feel better. Resources: The Effects of Vegan Diet on Fetus and Maternal Health [12:50] The Gift in Traumatic Experiences Why we care about what other people think about us based on evolution. How trauma took Pixie's innocence and childhood. Why tattooing her body was a trauma response. How she channelled her trauma to help others. Why Pixie learned to detach from her body when she was abused. How forgiveness can help us let go. [19:10] Healed People Heal People How healed people heal other people. Why Pixie believes she went through her trauma for a reason. How her traumatic experience has helped her help others move through their trauma. [22:30] The Healing Power of Breathwork How breathwork helps us connect with our body. Why breathwork allowed Pixie to free herself from her traumatic sexual past. How breathwork can open us to new dimensions. Why we can get downloads from breathwork sessions. What led her to change her name from Amber to Pixie. [29:30] Why Do You Chase Dopamine? How the body is always looking for safety. Why Pixie attracted the same type of men until she healed her wounds. How chasing dopamine is a trauma response. Why Pixie created challenges to keep people accountable for their growth and getting healthy dopamine. It takes 62 days to create a new habit.

Why when you let people see us, we become more lovable. [49:35] The Catalyst for Change What happened and why it happened doesn't truly matter.

They help not just build the foundational blocks in the brain, but also in the gut, affecting the serotonin and giving you the essential support that it needs to not be depressed." — Pixie Acia "Your nervous system is looking for familiar situations to identify whether it's safe or not. When we're used to repressing it, we aren't listening to the body to know if we're safe or not. And then we'll end up finding ourselves in similar situations again." — Pixie Acia

In Episode 5, Karrie named the first step to healing involves connection with our own story. This week, Karrie is joined by Cathy Loerzel, one of the co-founders of the Allender Center, as well as an author, speaker, and story work coach, to continue the discussion of using story work as a tool for healing and how reconnecting to our story can lead us back to our true self . When do we know we need to look at places in our stories? When behaviors and patterns keep arising that prevent us from being who God wanted us to be. Why can't we just know something happened? Why do we need to go through a story at a granular level? Cathy explains that when trauma becomes embedded, we sometimes need to feel it again with an empathetic witness in order to process out what has been stored in the body. Kathy and Karrie share more about the consequences of stored trauma and how maladaptive behavior is created.

And the work lies in identifying all of the ways in which we don't trust in ourselves or trust in life and then bring courageous curiosity towards those areas" — Jonny Miller "Any conflict is a potential edge to grow from. There's always going to be rupture in relationships. It's about how lovingly can you repair? How quickly can you go from conflict back to connection?" — Jonny Miller "We are in a world which worships self development. But there's a great distinction in self-development and self-unfoldment. When you're approaching inner work through the lens of self-developemnt, it often has this premise of part of me is broken and I need to fix it. Self-unfoldment, ot the other hand, starts with the premise of I am already whole and worthy of love." — Jonny Miller

As we head into Labor Day weekend, I'm flexing one of my superpowers: organizing information.   In this episode of The Pharmacist's Voice Podcast, I share the story behind my book binder — a simple but powerful system that helps me keep track of dozens of book recommendations and the 20–30 books I read each year. You'll hear how I went from barely finding time to read as a busy mom to becoming an audiobook enthusiast with a binder full of possibilities.   I'll also share 26 books currently on my “to be read” list (plus the Spy School series I'm enjoying with my son Kraig). Maybe you'll discover your next great read from this podcast episode!   Even if books aren't your thing, you'll walk away with this takeaway: what makes you weird might actually be your superpower. For me, it's organizing information. For you, it could be something else entirely — and when you embrace it, life gets easier, less stressful, and more fun. You just might help other people too!

La teoria de la mente
El Apego Emocional y John Lennon

La teoria de la mente

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 28, 2025 13:47


¡Bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de La Teoría de la Mente! Hoy nos embarcamos en una profunda reflexión sobre los vínculos afectivos, la desconexión, y nuestra constante búsqueda de amor y pertenencia. Inspirándonos en la conmovedora canción "Mother" de John Lennon, exploramos los lazos que nos unen a nuestras figuras de apego, aquellos que nos trajeron al mundo y que dejan una huella indeleble en nuestra vida emocional. John Lennon nos habla del dolor de la pérdida, de su madre, Julia, y de su padre, Alfred, que lo abandonó en la infancia. A través de su desgarradora experiencia, John Lennon nos invita a reflexionar sobre los vínculos rotos, la infancia y la necesidad de afecto. Este tema nos lleva a una exploración más amplia sobre cómo estas primeras relaciones con nuestros cuidadores influyen en nuestra vida adulta. Hacemos un recorrido por la teoría del apego de John Bowlby, que explica cómo los diferentes tipos de apego —seguro, evitativo, ambivalente y desorganizado— moldean la manera en que nos relacionamos con los demás. Esta teoría, aplicada por expertos como Cindy Hazan y Phillip Shaver a las relaciones amorosas adultas, sigue siendo un marco de referencia clave para comprender nuestros patrones emocionales y conductuales en las relaciones. Además, reflexionamos sobre cómo, en momentos de vulnerabilidad extrema, muchas personas regresan a esos lazos primarios, buscando consuelo en figuras de apego, como lo sugiere el trabajo del psiquiatra Bessel van der Kolk sobre el trauma. A medida que avanza el episodio, me pregunto sobre el sentido de pertenencia y seguridad que quizás todos anhelamos volver a sentir, como cuando estábamos en el útero materno. ¿Podría este deseo ser la raíz de muchas de nuestras frustraciones y ansiedades actuales? Por último, comparto mis propias reflexiones sobre cómo, a medida que envejecemos, nuestras conexiones con nuestros padres y con las generaciones más jóvenes cobran un nuevo significado. Como padre, es inevitable plantearse la complejidad de los vínculos, sin caer en el intento de etiquetar nuestras relaciones bajo una única teoría. Este episodio es una invitación a abrazar la imperfección, a aceptar que los vínculos que formamos pueden evolucionar, y a seguir explorando nuestras conexiones emocionales, buscando siempre ese "wifi" que nos une a los que amamos.

The Trauma Therapist | Podcast with Guy Macpherson, PhD | Inspiring interviews with thought-leaders in the field of trauma.

Roberto Diaz Herrera Jr. was born into the rigid confines of macho Latin American culture, where strength, sex, and violence were the defining traits of manhood. Raised in Panama under the shadow of his father—Colonel Roberto Diaz Herrera, the former Chief of Staff and close ally to dictator Manuel Noriega—he was expected to embody the same ideals of dominance and aggression. In a world where compassion and vulnerability were seen as weakness, he was constantly reminded, “You are the son of a tiger.” For him, Noriega wasn't just a political figure—he was Uncle Tony. You can learn more about what I do here:The Trauma Therapist Newsletter: celebrates the people and voices in the mental health profession. And it's free! Check it out here: https://bit.ly/4jGBeSaThe Trauma Therapist Podcast:  I interview thought-leaders in the fields of trauma, mindfulness, addiction and yoga such as Peter Levine, Pat Ogden, Bessel van der Kolk and Bruce Perry. https://bit.ly/3VRNy8zBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-trauma-therapist--5739761/support.

Trigger Warning: This episode includes open and honest discussions about suicide attempts, mental illness, emotional abuse, and childhood trauma. Please listen with care.   In this Part 2 of a 2-part series, we reconnect with Emily as she shares what life has looked like since her last suicide attempt—unpacking what real recovery feels like when it's layered with parenting, relationship trauma, childhood emotional neglect, and navigating the pressure to “look okay” on the outside. This is a story about fighting to stay, even when your brain tries to convince you otherwise.     Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads is the 2024 People's Choice Podcast Award Winner for Health and the 2024 Women In Podcasting Award Winner for Best Mental Health Podcast, with over 2 million downloads across more than 100 countries.

But I'm proud I'm still here.” — Emily   What This Episode is About Emily opens up about what came next after the suicide attempts, what healing looks like on the ground level, and the daily work it takes to quiet the internalized voices of shame. She talks about masking, being in survival mode, and the confusion of being a high-functioning person with severe depression. You'll also hear about her struggles in romantic relationships, what it felt like to have emotional abuse reinforced in adulthood, and how becoming a parent inspired her to change the narrative in her family line.   SEO Keywords: Suicide attempt recovery, high-functioning depression, emotional abuse, trauma-informed parenting, mental health support, post-attempt healing, invisible pain, self-worth, generational trauma, PTSD recovery, inner child work, coping with shame, childhood emotional neglect   Meet Our Guest: Emily Emily is a trauma survivor, a nurse, a mother, and a woman doing the hard work to heal while still showing up for everyone else. In Part 1, she shared her early struggles with mental illness, beginning with cutting at age 11 and two suicide attempts before she turned 21. In this episode, she takes us deeper into the “after”—into the quiet, messy, nonlinear work of recovery. She explains how her trauma carried into her adult relationships, how she learned to identify emotional abuse in real-time, and how she's slowly starting to believe she is worthy of being loved without condition. Emily's story is not tied up in a neat little bow—and that's precisely why it matters. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmiewillyy/   3 Key Takeaways You can look “fine” and still be in survival mode. High-functioning depression is real. Unresolved childhood trauma can impact every adult relationship. But awareness is power. Recovery is daily work. It's not a one-time decision; it's a commitment to stay.   Actionable Items Use grounding tools when shame kicks in—like naming your feeling out loud or writing it down. Audit your relationships for emotional safety: Do they help you grow or keep you in patterns? If you're struggling, reach out to someone. You don't have to wait until you're in crisis to ask for help.   Chapters & Time Stamps [00:01:22] Living With the Aftermath Emily reflects on what life looked like after her second attempt and why she thought she had to act “fine.” [00:04:45] The Masking We Learn The dangers of pretending everything is okay, even when it's not—and how people missed the signs. [00:09:12] Surviving Toxic Love Emily shares her experience with emotionally abusive relationships and how it mirrored her childhood. [00:21:30] Parenting as a Cycle Breaker What she's doing differently to raise her daughter with emotional honesty and safety.

  It Didn't Start With You: Breaking Generational Patterns and Healing the Past Summary: In this episode of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis explore the powerful concept of generational patterns and how our family history shapes our lives. Drawing on insights from Mark Wolynn's book It Didn't Start With You, they discuss the science of epigenetics, the influence of cellular memories, and how unresolved trauma, behaviors, and strengths can be passed down for generations. Through personal stories and client experiences, they show how mapping a genogram can reveal inherited patterns in health, relationships, addictions, and emotional responses. Most importantly, they share practical ways to break unhealthy cycles, embrace healthy habits, and become the “chain breaker” for future generations. Listeners will come away with tools for self-discovery, compassion toward their family history, and actionable steps to transform inherited patterns into a healthier legacy.

Hey Team! This week I'm talking with Britt Piper, a somatic experiencing practitioner, trauma educator, and author of Body First Healing. Britt's work focuses on understanding how trauma impacts the nervous system and brings both professional expertise and a deeply personal understanding of what it means to heal. In our conversation, we start with Britt's story and then we dive into what somatic therapy actually looks like, how trauma can live in the body long after the mind “knows” we're safe, and why the nervous system often gets stuck in survival mode. We also get into the science behind stress responses, intergenerational trauma, and practical ways to start listening to your body's signals instead of fighting against them. Also, just as a quick note before we get into it, today's episode includes discussion of trauma, including mentions of sexual violence, substance abuse, and suicidal thoughts. If these topics are sensitive for you, please take care while listening - feel free to skip ahead or pause when needed.

Somatic practices are body-based approaches to healing that focus on how trauma and stress are held in the nervous system rather than just the mind. They employ gentle techniques, such as tracking body sensations, subtle movements, and breath, to help the body complete its stress response cycles. 2. SI-BAM is a tool from Somatic Experiencing that helps track your internal state when emotions feel vague or difficult to name. It stands for Sensation, Image, Behavior, Affect (emotion), and Meaning. It begins by noticing physical sensations (such as tightness, warmth, or buzzing), and then observing if any mental images arise. It is followed by observing your body's behavior or impulses (fidgeting, leaning forward) and from there checking for any identifiable emotions, and noticing what meaning or story you attach to the experience. 3. If you feel stuck in the same emotional patterns and if stress, anxiety, or trauma seem to “live” in your body, showing up as chronic tension, pain, or fatigue, somatic therapy could be an option for you. Somatic work can give you tools to gently release that “stuck” survival energy and restore a sense of calm. 4. When dealing with trauma, you don't have to go it alone, but it is also important to work with a practitioner who understands what they are doing. And understand that somatic therapy is just one of many options that you can use to help you get the help you need.

My passion for exploring how our bodies can facilitate a return to calm and peace takes center stage. I emphasize the importance of integrating bodily sensations into our healing processes rather than merely relying on cognitive techniques, which is a perspective that is gradually gaining traction in the psychological community.I discuss the foundational concepts of somatic psychology and trauma healing, including principles from the polyvagal theory created by Dr. Stephen Porges. This theory is essential in understanding how our nervous systems respond to stimuli and how we can leverage body-focused techniques to signal safety and calm to our brains. By recognizing that our bodies can inform our mental states, we can build resilience and enhance our emotional regulation skills.I refer to key figures in this field, such as Deb Dana, who translates the complexities of polyvagal theory into practical strategies, and Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, whose book "The Body Keeps the Score" highlights how trauma is stored physically and the importance of incorporating movement and breathwork in recovery. Additionally, I touch upon the work of Peter Levine with Somatic Experiencing, illustrating how all these methodologies advocate for engaging the body as a pathway to emotional healing.#AnxietyCoachesPodcast #BottomUpHealing #NervousSystemRegulation #SomaticExperiencing #PolyvagalTheoryApplied #TraumaInformed #MindBodyConnection #CalmYourBody #SelfRegulationSkills #StressManagement #EmotionalFreedom #ResilienceBuilding #DiscomfortTolerance #AngerAsEnergy #BreathworkBenefits #ColdExposureTherapy #MovementAsMedicine #HealingJourney #InnerPeace #GinaRyanPodcast #StephenPorges #DebDana #BesselVanDerKolk #PeterLevine #GaborMate #TheBodyKeepsTheScore #WakingTheTiger #WhenTheBodySaysNo #MythOfNormal #AntiFragility #GinaRyan #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
