In this episode, Kyle interviews Peter A. Levine, Ph.D.: developer of Somatic Experiencing®, educator, and author of several best-selling books on trauma. His most recent book, An Autobiography of Trauma: A Healing Journey, is exactly that: a change from more scholarly writing into an extremely vulnerable telling of his early childhood trauma and how he has healed over the years. He talks about how his unconscious convinced him to write the book, how trauma can move into the body, and how he needed a student to identify how his trauma was affecting him. He believes that we all have wounding, but it's how we carry these wounds and tell our truth that matters.  He discusses:  The need to allow space for both Indigenous traditions and evidence-based Western frameworks The power of having even just one distinct moment of feeling cared for and loved How Colin Turnbull saw healing differently after living with an African tribe for three years Why he suggests 15-20 sober experiences with non-ordinary states for each drug experience Why not having a community or empathetic other makes us more vulnerable to trauma and more!

In An Autobiography of Trauma: A Healing Journey (Park Street Press, 2024), renowned developer of Somatic Experiencing Peter A. Levine shares his personal journey to heal his own severe childhood trauma offering profound insights into the evolution of his innovative trauma healing method. Casting himself as a modern-day Chiron, the wounded healer of Greek mythology, Dr. Levine describes, in graphic detail, the violence of his childhood juxtaposed with specific happy and exuberant memories, which helped him prepare for coming to terms with his horrifying experiences. He shares his inner experience of being guided through Somatic Experiencing (SE) to illuminate and untangle his traumatic wounds and describes the mysterious and unexpected dreams and visions that have guided him through his life's work. Exploring his dream visitations from Albert Einstein in depth, he explains how he came to view Einstein as his personal spirit guide and mentor and how he later discovered his own personal and profound real-life connection to him through his mother. Describing his breakthroughs in developing Somatic Experiencing, the author details how he helped thousands of others before resolving his own trauma years later with the support of his method. He explains how the SE method is derived from his studies of wild animals in their natural environments, neurobiology, and more than 50 years of clinical observations. He describes his education and career as well as his encounters with noteworthy figures such as somaticists Charlotte Selver and Ida Rolf, ethological zoologist Nikolaas Tinbergen, and autism pioneer Mira Rothenberg. Unveiling the inner story of the man who changed the way psychologists, doctors, and healers understand and treat the wounds of trauma and abuse, this autobiography reveals how anyone suffering from trauma has a valuable story to tell. And by telling our stories, we can catalyze the return of hope, dignity, and wholeness. Peter A. Levine, Ph.D., holds a doctorate in Medical and Biological Physics from the University of California at Berkeley and a doctorate in Psychology from International University. The recipient of four lifetime achievement awards, he is the author of several books, including An Autobiography of Trauma and Waking the Tiger, which has now been printed in 33 countries and has sold over a million copies.

En este episodio de "Read to Lead", tenemos como invitado a Andrés Bilbao, co-fundador de Rappi, inversor y empresario destacado. Andrés comparte su experiencia personal y profesional, abordando cómo el trauma puede afectar a los emprendedores y la importancia de la curación colectiva y el apoyo entre fundadores y equipos de startups. El libro "Waking the Tiger" de Peter A. Levine ofrece una visión innovadora y esperanzadora sobre el trauma, considerando al ser humano como un animal único con una capacidad instintiva para sanar. Levine plantea preguntas intrigantes sobre por qué los animales salvajes rara vez se traumatizan, a pesar de estar rutinariamente amenazados. El libro normaliza los síntomas del trauma y guía al lector a través de ejercicios que enfocan las sensaciones corporales para curar el trauma. Durante esta gran conversación, pudimos abrir debate sobre cómo los síntomas del trauma se manifiestan en la vida diaria y la tensión entre ser pesimista y optimista en el trabajo emprendedor. Andrés nos comparte cómo ha cambiado su actitud y ha aprendido a mantener la dignidad en situaciones difíciles, subrayando la importancia de cuidar la salud mental y desarrollar hábitos saludables. También reflexionamos sobre los desafíos de ser un emprendedor, la necesidad de pensar estratégicamente y romper el paradigma de estar disponibles 24/7.  No olvides suscribirte dándole click al botón de seguir para que no te pierdas ningún episodio.

Therese er en erfaren SE terapeut, som ble frelst av metoden etter at hun så hvor stor endring det gjorde i hennes eget liv. I dag hjelper hun andre mennesker som sliter etter eller under ulike typer traumer. Alt fra komplekse barndomstraumer, til reaksjoner etter enkle bilulykker og krigsofre. Therese brenner for faget og for å hjelpe andre. Somatic Experiencing (SE), skapt av Dr. Peter A. Levine, er en terapeutisk tilnærming rettet mot å løse traumer ved å fokusere på kroppens naturlige responsmekanismer. SE hjelper til med å gjenopprette kroppens evne til selvregulering ved å bearbeide fastlåste kamp-, flukt- eller frysresponsene, som kan oppstå etter traumatiske hendelser​​.Nevroplastiske lidelser involverer endringer i hjernens strukturer eller funksjoner som leder til dysfunksjon, ofte utløst av langvarig stress eller traumer. Disse lidelsene og traumetilstander som SE adresserer, deler et felles grunnlag i et dysregulert nervesystem.

SAND co-founders Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo join Euphrasia “Efu” Nyaki for a community conversation on holistic healing from trauma. Efu has developed a method that integrates ancestral wisdom from her Snail Clan in Tanzania, somatic therapy, and family constellations. Her approach helps resolve PTSD, depression, addiction, chronic illness, and more by releasing trauma at the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Euphrasia (Efu) Nyaki was born and raised on the slopes of mountain Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, where she gained the essence and vital healing energy from her ancestors. The strength of her ancestors lead her to earn a Bachelor of Science degree, train as a science teacher, and later to train as a healer using holistic methods. Efu enjoys helping others and for this reason joined an International Catholic Missionary community called Maryknoll sisters of Saint Dominick. Having arrived in Brazil as a missionary in 1993, Efu worked for 5 years with women who suffered from violence using mental health programs in the periphery of the city of João Pessoa, Brazil. In the year 2000 she co- founded two NGOs, and in the past 20 years, Efu has offered bodyworker and herbal medicine trainings for community leaders. For the past 10 years Efu has been teaching Family Constellation (trans-generational trauma healing) and Somatic Experiencing® (SE™) for trauma resolution in Brazil and other parts of the world. Efu was also asked by Dr. Peter A Levine, the developer of SE™, to join his Legacy Faculty to assist him and teach his Master Classes.

It's that ability to stop yourself from shoving somebody's face into a urinal. That is actually more strength than actually doing. There's another level of strength above being able to be the guy that does that that makes you the guy who has the ability to do it but doesn't." - Moha Bensofia Prefrontal Cortex Blood Flow "There's a study that's been done in Sweden on violent defenders. The one thing they all have in common is that they have a lack of oxygenated blood flow to the prefrontal cortex. Being able to control that, being able to tap into these things at will is a powerful skill to have. It's life-changing. The person that can turn that off and walk away from a problem and the person that can't, have very different outcomes and very different lives. That's the difference between being awarded and celebrated for achievements vs ending up in prison." - Moha Bensofia How To Be A Good CEO "To be a good CEO you need three things: You need to listen and you need to learn. Don't make this about you and your ego. Surround yourself with smart people and learn from them. You need to care. Part of your job is to care about your team, the users, and the investors. Just care. You need to communicate. You know how to talk. It's so simple to be a CEO." - Moha Bensofia Nothing Is A Coincidence "In life, there are no coincidences.

In this conversation, I interview my former teacher, Betsy Polatin who taught me Alexander Technique at Boston University as part of my theater studies. Those teachings had a profound impact on my life, helping me to recognize where I was making unuseful efforts both with my body and in my life. I began to understand personal responsibility in a new way and my relationships shifted. Twenty years later those lessons are still with me and resonate strongly as I prepare to release my first book. Here we talk about the mind-body connection and Betsy's expanded model for releasing trauma with her clients. Internationally recognized breathing/movement specialist and best-selling author, Betsy Polatin, MFA, SEP, has been teaching for more than forty-five years.

Happy December everyone! We're practically at the end of the year and I am looking forward to ending on a high note! We're talking Post Traumatic Stress Disorder on this episode, specifically within the context of the book Healing Trauma by Peter A. Levine. From what I've read so far, I recommend! You can find this book and other trauma related titles in this YouTube video published by the channel Therapy in a Nutshell. Along with discussing points of the book I thought important to highlight, I also share a couple of personal experiences involving traumatic events and the aftermath. They were certainly a learning experience. I have one more episode coming your way this year! I'll be taking a short break after the December 15th episode, and returning after the New Year with our January 15th episode. Also, if this podcast landed on your top 5 of Spotify Wrapped podcasts, let me know! Email me, DM/tag me on Instagram, and I will repost. I am in awe of the support I received this year and it is all thanks to this community we're building one listener at a time, all over the world.

Dedeker Winston is a relationship coach, writer, podcast host, and advocate for polyamory. She is a somatic-practitioner-in-training, and joins us to introduce another therapeutic intervention method for you to consider on your recovery journey. Somatic experiencing is all about bodily sensations. It ties together both our physical and psychological experiences to guide our nervous system through its trauma response and into healing. Not all practitioners come from psychiatry, with some having backgrounds in physical therapy, dance, or being a chiropractor. One of the things that draws people — including myself — to this method of intervention is that you do not have to talk about your trauma. Instead, its main focus is understanding what it means to feel things in our bodies, and to stop the feedback loop of body sensations triggering trauma responses that then trigger body sensations. Topics/Triggers: What somatic experiencing is based on, as per its creator Peter A. Levine, PhD How Dedeker's experience with PTSD led her to somatic experiencing + why "talk therapy" wasn't the solution for her A breakdown of Dedeker's 1st session of somatic experiencing, including how she finally started to feel good in her body again Why embodiment leads us back into being a whole being connected to nature in a way that psychotherapy does not What capitalism's influence on therapy has done + the reason it keeps us from knowing ourselves Christianity/Catholicism's influence on our western cultural ideology that being in tune with our flesh is bad A step-by-step of what somatic experiencing is, why it could work for you, personal experiences from our own sessions, and what you can expect from a session of your own Dedeker's personal word of advice for survivors, especially those that are LGBTQ+ and/or in nontraditional relationships Multiamory Podcast Dedeker's book: The Smart Girl's Guide to Polyamory Peter A.

Psychology, embodiment and toxic relationships... What a subtitle, eh? Let me begin with a little appreciation for your patience. It's been a minute between podcasts as they draw the short straw when I'm elbow deep in projects. I can assure you, this is worth it.  Laura Corcoran is a Holistic Psychologist. Her 10 years of experience in the field range from forensic, mental health, and addictions primarily. She's also an incredibly honest, raw, intelligent, kind woman and a Mum of "two light beams", as she puts it.   This episode is vast in its topic and while it began with the contradictions around some of the principles of psychology, we weave in and out of rabbit holes that most people can relate to including repressed trauma emerging in the *stressful* now of life and toxic bonds in passion relationships.  Including: Trauma that we might not realise is trauma (it's not always how it seems). All of us have in our life experienced a time where what we were feeling was too much. Toxic bonded relationships we think are filled with passion but are bound together by pain. An embodied approach to healing and the basis  The basics that psychology can forget that make all the difference to long term change Sensory experiences, breath and movement for regulation and healing A ton more... This little quote is from one of Laura's influences, Peter Levine, and somewhat encompasses the point Laura unpacks around the dire need for embodied practices within psychology treatments.  "If frightening sensations are not given the time and attention they need to move through the body and resolve or dissolve, the individual will continue to be gripped by fear." - Peter A.
