Happy Satiated Saturday! At twenty-one, when traveling abroad, I was so nervous about what to eat and eating around others that I did not nourish myself well.

CONTENT HEADS UP: Be enriched by a thoughtfully crafted conversation where sensitive topics related to trauma, torture, and self-loathing are gently woven into a narrative that is ultimately about love. There are no graphic descriptions of torture, just some causes and effects, but we nonetheless recommend that sensitive listeners prioritize their well-being and engage at their own discretion/pace. Also, for those intrigued by the idea of swimming with whales, a friendly reminder to follow safety guidelines and never venture alone into such deep waters.SYNOPSIS:Join us in this episode as we connect with Amber Gray, a masterful Human Rights Psychotherapist and Somatic and Dance/Movement Therapist with over 25 years of experience.

Dr. T and Truth Fairy welcome guest Dr. Emily Tunks, Founder of Embody Being and Research Trial Psychedelics Assisted Psychotherapist, to the podcast to explore her work in MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for first responders and her passion for understanding potential somatic implications of psychedelic medicines. Dr. Tunks shares her experience and knowledge regarding therapist support and well-being, and discusses the need for integrating Indigenous wisdom into psychedelic research.   The conversation explores somatic and relational foundations in psychedelic therapy, and Dr. Tonks emphasizes the importance of somatic psychotherapy and relational depth in supporting clients through expanded states of consciousness. She advocates for an approach where nervous system regulation, co-regulation, and attachment repair are key components, especially when working with medicines like MDMA and psilocybin. Dr. Tunks questions the fixation on mystical experiences as therapeutic benchmarks. Instead, she proposes measuring success through the quality of the relational field, the client's safety, and their capacity to experience nourishment and trust.Dr. T and Truth Fairy discuss the therapist's experience with Dr. Tunks, especially in the areas of burnout, well-being, and regulation. They highlight the need for therapist preparation, including their own embodiment practices, peer support, and supervised exposure to non-ordinary states. Dr. Tunks identifies something called the “trough of disillusionment,” which she explains as the time where hype around psychedelics comes face-to-face with the reality of systemic limitations and poor trial design. There is a need to mature the movement and deepen ethics, which Dr. T and Truth Fairy address with Dr. Tunks.“You know you have contact highs, as you said, if you've done a work… if you have some neurodiversion in there. If you've got some, hopefully, some intuition. We are going to feel stuff. We are going to have contact highs and we're going to have trauma lows, and being able to hold relationships, you know, in a way that will also meet regulatory standards. Let's not forget that when we're working above ground, we have to always be able to justify our behavior to sometimes people who have never had a therapy session in their life, like our medical boards, our registration boards. They are in an old paradigm.” - Dr. Emily Tunks About Dr. Emily Tunks:Emily aims to support individuals understand their whole selves, body and mind, so that their health, relationships and life purpose may thrive, in spite of physical set-backs and ongoing challenges.Emily co-majored in Psychology and Psychophysiology at Swinburne University, and after obtaining first class honours, she was awarded a full scholarship to complete a Doctorate of Psychology (Health) at Deakin University. Her doctoral qualitative research investigated Australian specialists' attitudes and practices of end-of-life care and organ donation, which was published in a high impact, international SAGE scientific journal: Journal of Health Psychology (under previous name: E. Macvean). Emily is a member of the Australian Association of Psychologists Inc. and is endorsed in Health Psychology (AHPRA). She maintains a commitment to excellence through researching best-practice techniques and her strong understanding of health psychology, clinical psychology, attachment, physiology, somatic (body) psychotherapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, ecotherapy and psychoneuroimmunology. Both in session and outside, Emily draws on her modern practice of Eastern contemplation traditions and is a graduate of Hakomi Somatic Psychotherapy professional training.Emily is honoured to be a co-therapist in several local and international clinical research trials for Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy (psilocybin with depression at Swinburne University and MDMA with PTSD at Monash University, collaborating with MAPS). In preparation for this humbling work, Emily continues to train extensively with several leading international PAP and trauma experts, local PAP integration and somatic psychotherapists. She deeply respects the healing potential of “non-ordinary” states of consciousness but most importantly, their safe, ethical, and practical integration.In addition to private clinical work, Emily has over a decade of multidisciplinary team experience in world-leading pain management and chronic illness hospital units, rehabilitation units, community health settings and university lecturing.Contact Dr. Emily Tunks:Website: EmbodyBeing.com.auLinkedIn: DrEmilyTunks__Resources discussed in this episode:Ram Dass“Becoming Somebody Before Becoming Nobody: Somatic and Relational Approaches to MDMA-assisted Psychotherapy”__Contact Punk Therapy:Patreon: Patreon.com/PunkTherapyWebsite: PunkTherapy.comEmail: info@punktherapy.com Contact Truth Fairy: Email: Truth@PunkTherapy.com

Angela talks to Stuart Sandeman about the profound impact of breath on our emotional and physical well-being. They explore how trauma and life experiences can manifest in our bodies, particularly through breathing patterns, and discuss the importance of breathwork in releasing stored tension and emotions. Stuart also shares his personal journey of grief following the loss of his girlfriend and how breathwork helped him process his emotions. KEY TAKEAWAYS Breath and Emotion Connection: The way we breathe is closely linked to our emotional state. Short, shallow breathing often correlates with feelings of anxiety or fear, while deeper, more expansive breathing is associated with feelings of calm and joy. Breathing Archetypes: Individuals have different breathing patterns or archetypes that reflect their emotional and psychological states.  Impact of Trauma on Breath: Traumatic experiences can lead to physical tension and altered breathing patterns. This tension is often held in specific areas of the body Breathwork for Emotional Release: Engaging in breathwork can facilitate the release of stored emotions and trauma TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS [00:02:01] Breath and emotional release.

Otto Maier is a retreat leader with Tandava Retreats and the Head of Integration at FIVE.  Through his private practice, _Soul & Psyche_, he supports individuals in navigating both ecstatic and traumatic states of consciousness by blending Depth Psychology, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic work, Non-Pathologizing frameworks, and the ongoing decolonization of the modern psyche. Otto's integrative approach to healing and psychedelic work has been translated into educational programs for fellow therapists and guides, adapted into training curricula across the psychedelic field, and is currently being applied in research on 5-MeO-DMT.  ⁠His work centers on honoring the full range of human experience—not as something to fix, but something to be in a deep and reverent relationship with. --- Enrol in the Visionary Medicines Program: https://www.caiyudakiora.com/visionary-medicines Join the Newsletter & Access the Free 21 Page eBook: https://www.caiyudakiora.com/newsletter --- TOPICS WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE:

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! Today, I'm joined by a special guest, Sarah Lovell—an executive function and ADHD coach who brings so much value for both our work with students and our own professional and personal lives. Sarah Lovell (she/her) is an executive function & ADHD coach for college students, ambitious professionals, overthinkers, and recovering perfectionists who are tired of feeling stuck and are ready to work with their brains, not against them.  With 11 years of experience, Sarah helps clients who try tool after tool… only to burn out or blame themselves when nothing sticks. She helps you understand why it's so hard to get started (even on things you want to do!) and make sustainable changes in a way that feels good.  Sarah's background in social work grounds her work in compassionate practices, believing self-talk and self-care are the foundations for executive functioning. Along with 1:1 coaching, she runs a membership, Stuck to Started, that gives you extra support and accountability. She also hosts From Stuck to Started podcast, where she shares realistic, actionable strategies in 20 minutes or less.  When Sarah isn't coaching, she enjoys trail walks with her dogs, snuggling up with tea and a good book, and paddleboarding.  Summer Summit Replay Access Did you miss Summer Summit? It's not too late! When you join IMPACT, my monthly membership for school counselors, you'll get access to all of the Summer Summit session recordings, along with PD hours. Sarah's session is one you don't want to miss. She shares how nervous system regulation supports executive functioning and practical tools to apply these strategies in your life and with students. Sneak Peek: Sarah's Summer Summit Session In her session, From Overwhelmed to Organized, Sarah discusses the connection between executive functioning and nervous system regulation: When our nervous system is dysregulated, it becomes hard to access our executive functioning tools. Self-talk is a foundation for executive function, but regulation must come first. She walks through tools for both hyperarousal (anxiety, fight/flight) and hypoarousal (low energy, disconnection), including: Breathing and grounding exercises Somatic movement, like balance or tapping Separating planning from action to reduce overwhelm A Day in Sarah's Life Sarah supports a wide range of adults: college students, women with ADHD, entrepreneurs, and business owners. She holds 1:1 coaching calls, runs a supportive membership, produces podcast content, and handles the daily marketing and admin needs of her business. Advice for Counselors “Self-talk is the foundation!” Whether you're feeling stuck, procrastinating, or overwhelmed, it starts with self-awareness. Understand the difference between procrastination and being stuck. Take a pause, name what you're experiencing, and give yourself credit along the way, not just when you meet the goal. Bonus: Free Live Training This July! School is starting soon, and I'm offering a free live training on how to use a Meet-the-Counselor lesson to connect with students and advocate for your role!

I'm joined once again by Laurie James for a conversation that bridges nervous system healing, somatic experiencing, and attachment work. If you've ever felt overwhelmed or disconnected in relationships, this episode will help you understand why and what to do about it. Laurie isn't just a coach and author, she's someone who's done the deep work to regulate her nervous system after divorce and heartbreak. In this episode, she shares how her body responded completely differently to a recent breakup, not with panic, but with presence. That's what nervous system healing looks like in real time. We also dig into attachment styles: how to identify your own, how they show up in anxious or avoidant behaviors, and how somatic work can support real change. Most importantly, we talk about how to stop trying to fix or override your system and start building safety within it. This is about meeting yourself where you are and knowing that real healing is possible. Here's what else we discuss in this episode: What somatic experiencing actually is and how it supports healing (7:31) How your autonomic nervous system operates and what shifts when you engage it intentionally (9:42) The connection between nervous system regulation, somatic work, and attachment styles (16:52) How Laurie's recent breakup differed from her divorce (and why it matters) (40:44) Practical strategies for working with an avoidant or anxious attachment style (46:45) Learn more about Laurie James: Laurie James is a mother, divorcée, recovering caregiver turned author, somatic relationship coach, and podcaster. Laurie's podcast, Confessions of a Freebird, was inspired by her youngest of four children leaving the nest and is the sequel to her book, Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting Go. Laurie's book is about her journey from loneliness to finding belonging during a time when she was raising four teenage daughters, her mother had a heart attack and needed care, all while her marriage began to crumble. Now Laurie helps women divorce, heal, and date differently in midlife. She blends her coaching and somatic training to help her clients develop a better relationship with their bodies and nervous system. Doing so allows them to find the inner freedom to experience more happiness, joy and create the life they desire.

In this week's episode of the Solo 2.0 Podcast, Jess & Rye are getting super real about something that impacts literally all of us: your nervous system. They break down what it actually means to be in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn, share raw personal stories (like Ryan's insane Doberman scare), and give practical tips for how to calm your body when you're stuck in stress mode. If you've ever wondered why you can't slow down, avoid tough convos, or feel totally wiped from anxiety — this is for you.

What if your deepest pain held the keys to your greatest healing? What if you're not broken—but simply remembering who you really are? This week on Interviews with Innocence, I sit down with Martina Drassl, a somatic trauma therapist and plant medicine facilitator whose path has taken her from the depths of suffering to the heart of sacred healing. In this raw and illuminating conversation, Martina shares:

Avigail Steinharter is a Torah teacher, yoga instructor, breathwork facilitator, and somatic practitioner. After decades of teaching and mentoring, and her own physical health journey, Avigail realized how many people are carrying unspoken pain, living disconnected from their truth, and just trying to get by. She found her own way to healing through Holotropic Breathwork, Somatic Regulation Training, and yoga and now helps others do the same.---Please rate and review the Empowered Jewish Living podcast on whatever platform you stream it.

One of the most powerful things you can do on your healing journey is get good at knowing and trusting what you need — not what you were told to need, not what you think you should need, but what your body and heart are truly craving.

And once I do… how can I meet them on my own?”Together, we explore:Neediness versus NeedsWhen to meet your own needs and when to ask for your needs to be met Discovering your deeper emotional or relational needsHow to reconnect to your needs through your bodyCore needs in the realms of intimacy, sex, safety, self-expression, and relationshipsThe connection between your needs and your valuesThis episode also includes a somatic practice to help you tune in and feel your needs rather than just think about them. You'll walk away with clarity, direction, and a deeper sense of connection to your inner world.Resources Mentioned: Quiz - Which Anxious Attachment Type Are You?Becoming Secure Community - Course + Community + Coaching

What does it take to hold space for both structure and sensitivity in modern yoga practice? In this warm and wide-ranging episode, Harmony and Russell talk with Leo Castro and Samira Eidi, co-founders of Coletivo Mysore, a thriving Ashtanga yoga community in downtown São Paulo, Brazil. Together, they explore how somatic intelligence and bioenergetic therapy can be integrated with traditional yoga practice to create more inclusive, emotionally aware spaces. Sami and Leo share their personal stories—how Leo transitioned from a life in aviation to becoming an Ashtanga teacher, and how Sami's deep dive into bioenergetics has transformed her understanding of embodiment and healing. This episode is a thoughtful examination of tradition, adaptation, and the courage it takes to meet people where they are — whether they're seeking strength, softness, or something in between. Harmony also shares exciting news: she'll be teaching a Mysore intensive at Coletivo Mysore this October! Details below.

From trauma to transformation, Dr. Natalie Green shatters the myth that healing happens only in our heads. Drawing from her harrowing personal survival story and 30+ years as a trauma expert, the bestselling author and Growing Tall Poppies podcast host reveals why so many high-achievers remain stuck despite years of talk therapy.Dr. Green illuminates how trauma fractures our internal communication system, disconnecting our thinking brain from our feeling heart and intuitive gut. Through her pioneering ABS Method® and Trauma Release Exercises, she demonstrates how allowing the body to physically "shake out" stored trauma can accomplish what endless analysis cannot.The episode unveils Dr. Green's fascinating seven Archetypes of Transformation©, from Phoenix Risers who rebuild from ashes to Liberated Voyagers breaking generational cycles, giving listeners a revolutionary framework for understanding their own healing journey. Particularly compelling is her insight into high-performers who intellectualize everything while their bodies silently scream through mysterious symptoms and chronic tension.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:How disconnection between our head, heart, and gut brains occurs during trauma and impacts decision-making.Why body scanning and allowing natural tremoring can release trauma stored in the nervous system.How high achievers often avoid somatic practices despite needing them most.The seven trauma archetypes and how they manifest in different personality types.Why talk therapy alone often keeps trauma "stuck" rather than resolving it.How physical symptoms like rashes, tension, and breathing issues signal unprocessed emotions.The path from simply surviving trauma to experiencing post-traumatic growth.And while you're here, follow us on Instagram @creativelyowned for more daily inspiration on effortlessly attracting the most aligned clients without spending hours marketing your business or chasing clients.

Genetic factors play a critical role in prostate cancer treatment planning, with both germline and somatic mutations guiding therapeutic decisions. The Association of Cancer Care Centers (ACCC) remains committed to improving prostate cancer care and has developed the Metastatic Prostate Cancer Handbook: A Guide to Optimizing Outcomes with Germline and Somatic Testing. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Andrea Murphy, FNP-C, ACGN, CGRA, genetics nurse practitioner at Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center and Amy D. Smith, FNP-BC, director at Meredith & Jeannie Ray Cancer Center, about the impact this handbook has had on patient care delivery, measuring success during the pilot program, and recommendations for sustaining germline and somatic mutation testing in clinical practice.   “I think a lot of people were surprised, definitely with germline testing, that all metastatic patients met the criteria [for testing]…”– Andrea (Ani) Murphy, FNP-C, ACGN, CGRA   “The other thing that the [hand]book did is [give] us a good outline on what our deficiencies were, where we wanted to go with testing...and just pretty much set it up so that it was easy for us to follow.” – Amy D. Smith, NP-BC   “Overall, I think the handbook could give anybody the guidance that they need to set up their own program.” – Amy D.

Why do some people develop PTSD after trauma while others recover? What if it's not about the trauma itself, but the state of your nervous system when it happens? In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we're joined again by Matt Bush, founder of Next Level Neuro and a lead educator in the Neurosomatic Intelligence program, for a deep dive into the latest PTSD research and how it's reshaping what we know about trauma, memory, and healing. We explore how traumatic memories start out as broad fear associations, and why the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex are essential for integrating those experiences into coherent, time-specific memories. We break down the overlap between PTSD and CPTSD, how trauma affects neurodevelopment in childhood and adulthood, and why nervous system regulation is essential for trauma recovery. You'll learn how practices like somatic movement and proprioceptive training build the brain's capacity to reprocess fear, improve emotional regulation, and create real, lasting change. This episode offers a powerful reframe: healing trauma isn't about reliving the past, it's about training the nervous system to safely reintegrate it.

You've read the books. You've tried the deep breaths. You've told yourself, “Just calm down.”But when overwhelm hits? Your body's still on edge—clenched jaw, tense shoulders, short fuse.Here's the truth: you can't out-think a dysregulated nervous system.Because when your brain is flooded with stress hormones, logic and willpower go offline.In this episode of Alive & Well, we're unpacking what really happens in your body when you're overwhelmed—and why somatic tools (not more hacks or habits) are the key to feeling calm, grounded, and in control again.

In this illuminating episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, we welcome special guest Will Johnson, author of The Radical Path of Somatic Dharma. Will invites us into a grounded, deeply embodied meditation that activates peace from the very center of your center.Through his guided practice, Will gently leads us to expand awareness across our three primary sensory fields—sound, sight, and body—and then unites them through the breath. With insights from the Buddha, Rumi, and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg, he reminds us that true peace is found not by escaping our body, but by breathing fully through it.This meditation is perfect for those seeking a somatic shift from tension and overthinking into presence, clarity, and calm. As Will says, “Feel yourself dissolving into peace.”Learn more about Will's work at www.embodiment.netAnd explore more meditations, Reiki treatments, and healing workshops at www.thepeaceroom.loveSubscribe and return each week for another moment of stillness on 5 Minutes of Peace, presented by The Peace Room, Boise.https://www.amazon.com/Radical-Path-Somatic-Dharma-Radiant/dp/B0CY9KJ28W
