In this enlightening episode we connect with Ariel Giarretto, an internationally known body-oriented trauma therapist and Somatic Sex Educator. Ariel's initial intrigue with the body's physiology began during her work as a birth doula, and deepened during her experiences at the Esalen Institute and her extensive study with Somatic Experiencing (SE) pioneer Peter Levine - which led to her later becoming a faculty member. As co-developer of 'The Full Embodiment Model' she offers transformative insights for people wanting to heal from the effects of sexuality/gender trauma, sexual abuse and disembodiment. We discuss the importance of reconnecting with the body and the complex issues of navigating sexual trauma therapeutically. Exploring techniques to navigate these challenges, Ariel highlights the importance of curiosity, presence, and acceptance of bodily sensations, presenting a refreshing approach to embodiment. She shares her experience living in San Francisco with sex-positive communities and her studies in Sexology, along with her work and efforts in addressing intergenerational trauma, to help individuals reshape their relationship with pleasure and intimacy. We also touch upon how different attachment styles impact our intimacy and sexuality and why tantric practices can be problematic if sexual trauma is not addressed first. Ariel examines the transformative potential of creating new, 'missing' experiences as part of the healing journey, and how new neural pathways can be fostered. Join us for insights and an invaluable resource for those looking to deepen their understanding of love and intimacy. Ariel Giarretto, LMFT, SEP, CMT, CSB is a trauma specialist with a passion to support people of all cultures and ages in how to find ease and pleasure in their bodies, increase intimacy, and find freedom from the grip of trauma. Trained in a wide variety of somatic therapies, she is primarily informed by Peter Levine's Somatic Experiencing (SE), for treating the physiological effects of the trauma. For 17 years she has been full-time SE teaching faculty, training and mentoring practitioners all over the globe. Throughout the 1990's she was on staff at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur and she has extensive training in prenatal and birth therapy with Ray Castellino.fullembodiment.orgLiked what you heard?

The Way of Curiosity with Peter Gill. E21 of The Living Process with Greg Madison I'm very happy to offer episode 21 of The Living Process with guest Peter Gill, a UK Focusing teacher and Coordinator. Peter came across Focusing in 2003, and he teaches Focusing as an approach to living, much more than just a therapeutic tool. Peter became a Focusing teacher in 2005 and is certified with the British Focusing Association (BFA) and a Coordinator with the Focusing Institute. Peter trained with Ann Weiser Cornell in "Inner Relationship Focusing" and Peter Afford in the UK. Peter also has a background practising and teaching awareness and meditation skills to groups and individuals in a Buddhist context. Peter is qualified in  Somatic Experiencing (SE), and has more recently been training in nature connection and in holding grief circles with Azul Valérie Thomé in Devon. He is currently training to be a Forest Guide. This episode centres around Peter's wonderful new book, The Way of Curiosity but Peter also teaches Focusing to individuals and groups - for more information on his teaching and his new book see: https://www.livingfocusing.co.uk In this episode Peter and I talk about his entrance into Focusing and how from the beginning it was a natural form of living practice for him. We touch upon his deep engagement with ecological and environmental work including facilitating nature connection, forrest bathing, and work on Focusing and climate change. We also discuss his interest in death awareness and openness to the everyday grieving implied in life. We touch upon his training in Somatic Experiencing and trauma. Many of these topics are covered in his beautifully-written book where he introduces the practice of Focusing to the general public in a way that feels natural and not like a special technique. I highly recommend it!  #somaticexperience #trauma #Focusing #Gendlin #Bodytherapy #buddhist #Experientialpractice #grief #environmentaltherapy #ecologicalwork #natureconnection #thewayofcuriosity #thelivingprocess

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.

Heidi Schauster, MS, RD, CEDS-S, SEP is a nutrition and body image therapist, Somatic Experiencing (SE)™ practitioner, clinical supervisor, and Embodiment Warrior who speaks and writes about whole-self wellness. Join my free support group: https://victoria-kleinsman.circle.so/c/free-support-group/ Come hang out with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/victoriakleinsmanofficial/ Work with me: https://victoriakleinsman.com/11-coaching/ In this episode, Victoria interviews Heidi Schauster, a nutrition and body image therapist, about supporting children in having a healthy relationship with food and their bodies. They discuss how parents can model positive behaviours, keep conversations about food neutral rather than moralistic, allow children pleasure in eating, handle picky eating, encourage movement joyfully, and more. Listeners can expect to gain insight into fostering body acceptance and food freedom for the next generation. Key Discussion Points: - How parents can support children in having a healthy relationship with food and bodies through positive modeling and neutral, non-judgmental communication (00:07:00) - Setting reasonable limits around certain charged "trigger" foods if needed, while still allowing pleasure and food freedom (00:17:46) - Letting kids tune into their bodies' natural signals and self-regulation abilities around eating (00:23:53) - Making physical movement a fun, family-oriented activity based on the child's natural temperament (00:35:27) - Signs that a child is struggling with food/body image issues and how to intervene and get professional support (00:36:43) Key Quotes: "I think the more neutral and joyful and relaxed we can be around food with children, the better." (00:07:15) "If the child is jumping up and down and saying, I want ice cream, to just say, we're not going to have ice cream tonight, but we might have it later this week. And just nonchalantly, not not with a lot of emotion." (00:17:46) "I would say that reaching out and letting them know that you are concerned is really, really important...the sooner, the better to actually let someone know that you're concerned, and potentially bring in some help."

Season 2, Episode 28, Release Date: 4-12-2024 IFS and EMDR with guest John Clarke   Today I have the pleasure of speaking with John Clarke. John is a fellow podcaster, and has created the show, "Going Inside, Healing Trauma from the Inside Out." He is a trauma therapist who uses evidenced based models of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Somatic Experiencing (SE). You can find out more about John on his website: www.johnclarketherapy.com   John was introduced to EMDR first, and then when he learned IFS, he saw this as a big game changer. EMDR gave him a deeper perspective of memories, and then, IFS helped give him a deeper understanding of parts of our system that holds these memories. There is also an understanding of the parts that feel that they have to protect (and sometimes exile) these more vulnerable parts.   John has a podcast and show named, "Going Inside." This is his second show that he has created, and with this show he is hoping to reach out to anyone who has an interest in therapy and wants to understand more about some of the amazing trauma models that are out there.    We spoke about how IFS is seen as a psycho-spiritual model, particularly with its understanding around Self-energy. John shared how when he spoke with Seth Kopald, they discussed how children have so much Self-energy, and John can see this in his daughter.   As we get older, we start developing shame. John shared that helping people recognize and deal with their shame is such a big part of the work that we do. A lot of our work is around sitting with people when they come to therapy, and taking the time to help them understand their parts, and befriending their parts. It this way, we can also help others unpack some of the profound fears that they are carrying, that they are not good enough, and that if other people really saw them, they might end up alone.    John shared how hard it could be for people who have been traumatized to be able to accept the moment, and trust that things will work out-- because this hasn't happened in their past. This can trigger the difficult emotions in their body.    What are the purposes of emotions? What does pathology exist? John shared how he feels that IFS model is so beautiful because it encourages us to turn to the parts that have these intense emotions, and understand and listen to the wisdom that these parts are trying to give to us.   Thank you John for our lovely conversation. I am looking forward to speaking with you again, on your podcast :)

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.

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.

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.

John and Dat talk about how early Buddhist teachings on mindfulness of breathing and Goenka Vipassana teachings are very similar to Somatic Experiencing (SE), the somatic trauma therapy developed by Peter Levine. They argue that Buddhism already has theory and practice that can be used by Buddhist ministers within the context of Buddhist counseling to recognize and respond to trauma. Topics include the links of dependent origination, the 16 exercises of mindfulness of breathing, the theory and practice of Goenka Vipassana, and the theory and practice of SE. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/downwiththedharma/message

The theory of structural dissociation proposes that patients with complex trauma-related disorders are characterized by a division of their personalities into different prototypical parts.Complex trauma can arise in any situation where you feel an ongoing sense of fear, horror, helplessness, or powerlessness over an extended period of time, with the perceived or actual inability to escape.Structural Dissociation Theory can help you heal and integrate the parts of self that are having negative reactions.WANT TO WATCH THIS EPISODE:  https://youtu.be/kUcdN-czOKYABOUT SAMANTHASamantha's therapeutic approach is client centred and trauma informed.  With a specialization in military mental health, Samantha has passionately pursued working with the military and veteran communities and their families.  The modalities that she utilizes in her practice include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).Samantha@nominawellness.caABOUT NOMINA:Nomina Wellness at Forbidden Plateau is a premiere comprehensive stay treatment facility for mental health and addiction.

I believe…that 80% of mental health issues are the result of unresolved trauma trapped in the body. I believe that everyone has the potential to heal. I believe that when an individual can find safety in themselves, they develop a more meaningful relationship with themselves and with others.A world with less trauma…is a world with more connection. It is a world in which each interaction is more meaningful and vital. A world with less trauma is a world with more freedom.Ilene is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) and completed a 3-year training with the Somatic Experiencing Institute founded by Peter Levine.

Dr. Kim DiRe' is trained, practiced, and certified in multiple disciplinary treatments as a trauma healer. Her trauma healing response model has grown in popularity by referring physicians, psychiatrists, and psychologist to individuals seeking a better and balanced nervous system.   Dr. DiRe' is also a certified Somatic® Experiencing Practitioner. She has a Masters in Education as well as a Masters in Counseling. Dr. DiRe' received a well earned Doctorate of Behavioral Health from Arizona State University. Besides being certified as a clinical hypnotherapist, Dr. DiRe' is certified in Shapedown® and KidShape®, two nationally acclaimed childhood obesity programs. Dr. DiRe' uses her knowledge and skills to work with individuals dealing with trauma. In 2015, she received and was recognized with a Spirit of Achievement Award from Sierra Tucson for the clinical work in the trauma healing field. The trauma healing therapy approaches Dr. DiRe' uses are interrelated. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Somatic Experiencing (SE) are integrated for more nervous system regulated balance. Dr. DiRe' has also created her own healing technique using tools of attention, intention, and awareness, using a client's own levels of resilience, called Blue Print to Freedom. Each of her treatment sessions are unique and takes place in a non-judgmental and safe environment for a “healing sanctuary”. Dysregulation of the nervous system is caused by traumatic experiences or events, or natural events such as tornados, fires, the covid pandemic, catastrophic illnesses or, human breeches such as in utero and birth trauma, attachment issues, eating disorders caused by trauma, all abuse including neglect, physical, and sexual, tissue trauma, surgeries, or car accidents. Using shifts in the neurological, chemical, and physiological complex systems of the body and mind are part of Dr. DiRe's healing trauma protocol. The individual becomes free from the imprisonment of their trapped pain and can then flourish and thrive in their own self-care. Helping others with their healing journey is the work Dr. DiRe' loves and feels honored to do. Website:  Krdire01@gmail 480.206.4646

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an integrative psychotherapy that helps people heal from emotional and psychological trauma. It consists of standardized protocols that use memories and emotions paired with bilateral stimulation and body sensations to relieve and resolve psychological trauma and stress. Trauma affects the processing function of our brain. EMDR attempts to help process past and current trauma, decrease the emotional charge of memories (hence desensitization) and create links to positive memory networks (hence reprocessing).EMDR can be helpful to people of all ages and has been proven to help treat:• Depression• Anxiety• Panic attacks• Eating disorders• Addictions• PTSDWANT TO WATCH THE EPISODE: https://youtu.be/vDiMC_haomsABOUT SAMANTHA:Samantha Hunt, MSW, RSWSamantha's therapeutic approach is client centred and trauma informed.  With a specialization in military mental health, Samantha has passionately pursued working with the military and veteran communities and their families.  The modalities that she utilizes in her practice include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).ABOUT NOMINA:Nomina Wellness at Forbidden Plateau is a premiere comprehensive stay treatment facility for mental health and addiction.

Today on the Soul of Life I speak to Dr. Lesley Tate-Gould, a psychotherapist that uses Somatic Experiencing to help people overcome trauma.   Lesley runs the Lido Wellness Center, an outpatient trauma and counseling practice in Newport Beach, California.   We talk about her specialization in a form of body-focused trauma treatment called Somatic Experiencing, or SE, and her experience of benefitting from SE herself. SE was developed by Peter Levine, and like IFS therapy, deviates from the norms of traditional talk therapy and its typical cognitive and rational focus.   "Sometimes emotions are like people would rather stay away from them." Instead, SE focuses on so-called “bottom-up” neurological processing. "Emotions are, in their simplest form, they're there to be felt."   We talk about how it's possible to attend to feeling and sensation in a deep way when you aren't narrating and talking and explaining.   "Some of these physiologically stuck features [like Turrets] are in a feedback loop and it wants to find a way out."   And we discuss our similar personal journeys, needing to be patient zero, using our own medicine.   Sign-up for my free "Quickstart Guide to IFS in 30 Minutes:"   https://event.webinarjam.com/register/3/on5lnf1   Check out my FREE Mini-Course for couples, called Marriage Tune-Up:   https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHjcz6Ly2y9gr2mtMHIxu-fXXl8rE_PYJ Learn more about my 7-week, live, online basic mindfulness and IFS course for couples: https://souloflifeshow.com/mindful-marriage My FREE 2-hour Seminar: Slowing the Mind to Open the Heart: https://peacemindful.com/p/slowing-the-mind-to-open-the-heart Join my Facebook Group called "Bring Love Alive:" https://www.facebook.com/groups/601405257684922 Find out more about my guest, Lesley Tate-Gould and the Lido Wellness Center in Newport Beach, CA: https://lidowellnesscenter.com/team/lesley-a-tategould/

Willoughby Britton Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist, an Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University Medical School, and the Director of Brown's Clinical and Affective Neuroscience Laboratory. Her clinical neuroscience research investigates the effects of contemplative practices on the brain and body in the treatment of mood disorders, trauma, and other emotional disturbances. She is especially interested in practice-specific effects, individual differences, and moderators of treatment outcomes. She is probably best known for her research on adverse effects, and for creating best practices around harms monitoring and reporting. As a clinician, she has been trained as an instructor in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and the Somatic Experiencing (SE) approach to trauma. She now specializes in helping meditators who are experiencing meditation-related difficulties and providing meditation safety training to providers and organizations. In this second half of their two-part conversation, Dr. Britton provides more details about the resistance she came up against in the science and meditation communities after publishing data that contradicted their narratives of meditation as an infallibly positive pursuit. Rachel provides insight into the reactive nature of those who are unable to recognize any imperfection in the spiritual practices they pursue and the cult-like devotion that follows. Before You Go: Rachel expands on Dr. Britton's idea of "positive affect requirement" in group settings explaining why there's often more behind the smiles of devoted followers.

Dr. Britton shares about her personal relationship with meditation, how it relates to her work, and the surprising results of her comprehensive study on the adverse effects of meditation. Rachel helps Dr. Britton unpack the cult dynamics and the societal structure that may explain the panic and very unscientific response of the meditation and science communities as a result of Dr. Britton's studies.

Cynthia's vast knowledge and many decades of experience in working with people to heal trauma have helped her realize that the essential self is "ever-intending toward wholeness." Cynthia is a Marriage Family Therapist and Somatic Experiencing® practitioner. She first completed the Hoffman Process when it was still in the three-month format. A few years later, she was asked to teach the Process. For seventeen years, she taught and supervised the teaching of the Hoffman Quadrinity Process in the US and abroad. Cynthia was fortunate to work and teach closely with Bob Hoffman for many years. Cynthia has an eclectic, embodied, soulful approach to healing and change. She has over thirty years of international experience facilitating psycho-educational, transformational groups. More about Cynthia Merchant Since 1988, Cynthia has trained directly with Dr. Peter Levine, the developer of the trauma resolution approach, Somatic Experiencing ® (SE™.) She has collaborated with him in many professional, master-level trainings. Cynthia has also taught the Enneagram, as well as trauma-informed somatic approaches to professionals. She facilitates experiential groups throughout the US, Europe, South America, Asia, and Canada. L-R: Cynthia, Reza Leah Landman, Bob Hoffman, Dr. Claudio Naranjo From 1989 until his death in 2019, Cynthia has been a dedicated student, collaborator, and friend of consciousness, Enneagram, and Hoffman Process pioneer of Dr. Claudio Naranjo and his Seekers After Truth (SAT) programs.

Cynthia approaches the human transformational adventure with kindness & gusto. She encourages attitudes of self-acceptance, compassion, and love in her clients and students as they cultivate more robust, satisfying lives. As mentioned in this episode Peter Levine, PhD:  As Cynthia recounts, Dr. Levine developed Somatic Experiencing ® (SE™.) Over the years since, he "taught it to anyone who would listen and mentored thousands of therapists and healers worldwide." Dr. Claudio Naranjo: Claudio Naranjo, M.D., was trained as a medical doctor. He came to the US from Chile, being one of the very first people to bring the Enneagram to the world. He also supported Bob Hoffman in bringing the work Bob was doing one-on-one with people into the group setting that became the Hoffman Process. Claudio was also the author of several books. The Enneagram or Enneagram of Personality: is a model of the human psyche largely taught as a designation of nine interconnected personality types. Reza Leah Landman: Reza Leah was an early Hoffman Process teacher, a therapist, and founder of The Institute for the Telling of Teaching Tales, Berkeley, CA. She was a master storyteller and was actively involved with spiritually-inspired actions the world over.

Jivana's friend and fellow Accessible Yoga teacher/trainer Sarit Z. Rogers joins Yoga Revolution this week to chat about Somatic Experiencing (SE) and trauma-informed yoga and healing modalities. Sarit is a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, accomplished photographer, writer, and trauma-informed yoga teacher. She is certified to teach Hatha/Vinyasa, Accessible Yoga, Yoga for All©, and Restorative and Yin Yoga. As the two discuss in this week's episode, Sarit brings yoga and SE tools to jails, prisons, and group homes and offers individual SE sessions and groups in rehabs. She encourages listeners (and her students) to "touch into the discomfort" and soften towards suffering and pain when comfortable and appropriate. Sarit offers a beautiful analogy for beginning this healing process: When addressing trauma, she says, confront it like a tangled up necklace. Gently untangle the trauma and take time to move through your process. Listen for more words of wisdom.

Deborah Thompson Cox, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Deborah Thompson Cox Deborah Thompson Cox has a private practice specializingin addressing the after-effects of childhood trauma in adults. Deborah is basedin the Greater Los Angeles area yet her work with others extends across thecountry. Deborah’s work with clients is designed to support the self-healing intelligenceof the body’s life energy. She views the body and mind as one coherentsystem, and both can be affected by a combination of healing modalities. Thiselastic body of work is inclusive of the following approaches:Somatic Experiencing (SE) which guides the client’s attention to their bodilysensations, connecting these to their thoughts, expressions/movements, imagesand emotions in a way that opens the neural pathways and allows trauma-bound(adrenaline-produced) energy to discharge. Quiet spaciousness betweeninterventions allows the profound, and healing, reorganization of the body-mind.Early Attachment Patterning which provides a foundational understandingof the four core Attachment Styles, their origins, the way they reveal themselvesin relationships, and methods for transforming attachment hurt into healing. I usethe terms Secure, Avoidant, Ambivalent, and Disorganized Attachment.Somatic Integration which promotes the body’s capacity to hold and expanda wide range of emotions via how the energy runs through the body whichincludes understanding Defense Mechanisms and how the Brain Developsthroughout early childhood via Family Dynamics.And finally, She fuses these modalities by introducing the client to a mindfulpractice of yoga and meditation based upon the ancient wisdom of KundaliniYoga.Contact Deborah @ dthompsoncox@gmail.com or go to her website here Discussed In This Episode: How educating yourself on trauma can begin the process of healing traumaThe amygdala function in the brain & The nervous systemA working definition of traumaAttachment PatternsDeborah's story Trauma focused CBTKundaliniPeter LevineSomatic ExperiencingAlcoholism and addictionACESNeuroplasticity Resources Mentioned ACES testDr. Arlene Drake Waking The Tiger by Peter Levine Other Episodes Like This Jessica Graham How Trauma Affects Us and How To Heal Happy Listening!

Today's episode is all about how to use a specialized form of therapy to release trauma from your body and bring your recovery to the next level. At the end of 2020 we had a WORTH member come on the podcast and share how Somatic Experiencing helped her in her healing recovery. This week we have Licensed therapist Randi Gray LCP, NCC on the podcast to discuss how Somatic Experiencing and EMDR can bring your recovery to the next level. Randi explains that people generally use talk therapy to learn healthy coping skills where with EMDR and somatic experiencing you are doing deeper level of work, helping you access parts of your brain that stores trauma. Goodtherapy.org states "Somatic Experiencing® (SE™) was developed by Peter A. Levine, PhD to address the effects of trauma. Levine developed this approach after observing that prey animals, whose lives are routinely threatened in the wild, are able to recover readily by physically releasing the energy they accumulate during stressful events. Humans, on the other hand, often override these natural ways of regulating the nervous system with feelings of shame and pervasive thoughts, judgments, and fears. Somatic Experiencing aims to help people move past the place where they might be “stuck” in processing a traumatic event."

My guest today is Jen Olson and what you'll hear is another story of another brave person whose personal struggle led to a first psychedelic experience, in her case with 5 MeO DMT. It ultimately changed the way she looked at herself in relation to the world and the work with these substances afterwards. As always you'll get a brief introduction into Jen's upbringing and what led to her becoming the 7th Canadian female mountain guide, living a life filled with adventures and traveling to places like Alaska, Pakistan and Nepal. Because of her work she was no stranger to dealing with the loss of loved ones, however, the sudden accidental death of her father in 2006 plunged her into a hole of previously unknown depths. You'll hear her explain how this led her to find Somatic Experiencing (SE) as the most powerful way to work with her past and change her current state. Since SE offers both a top-down (cognitive) as well as bottom up (nervous system) approach to resolving traumas she was really interested when she heard that psychedelics are currently also used in treating and transforming mental health. In 2020 she had her first 5-MeO-DMT experience and you'll hear how she experienced a complete dissolution of her own Self and how this helped her to process her grief. When Jen is looking into her own future she sees her dream become a reality to bring both somatic and psychedelic-assisted therapy into one system. So this is yet another Journey that tells the story of a person who was able to use her own pain to transform it into something to be of service to others.

When many people think of trauma, they think about the effect that it has on our mental wellbeing. However, not many people realize that trauma affects our physical bodies and health too. In this episode of the Think Peace Podcast, our host Colette Rausch sits down with psychologists Dr. Abi Blakeslee & Dr. Glyndie Nickerson to discuss trauma: What it is, how it affects us, what we can do about it, and the body-based trauma resolution approach known as Somatic Experiencing (SE). They discuss how interoception—the awareness of one's own bodily sensations—can support trauma healing as it gives individuals access to their nonconscious memory and to signals between their brains and bodies that register whether they are safe or in danger.

He holds doctorates in both Medical Biophysics and Psychology. Dr Peter A. Levine received his PhD in medical biophysics from the University of California in Berkeley and also holds a doctorate in psychology from International University. He has worked in the field of stress and trauma for over 40 years and is the developer of the Somatic Experiencing® method. Peter's original contribution to the field of Body-Psychotherapy was honoured in 2010 when he received the Lifetime Achievement award from the United States Association for Body Psychotherapy (USABP). That same year he also received the honorary Reis Davis Chair in Child Psychiatry for his innovative contribution to therapy for children and adolescents. Beginning in the 1970s, Peter's explorations into how animals deal with threat led to the development of the Somatic Experiencing method, a method that is highly effective in dealing with the effects of overwhelm on our nervous system, called Somatic Experiencing® (SE™). SE™ is a clinical methodology based upon an appreciation of why animals in the wild are not traumatized by routine threats to their lives, while humans, on the other hand, are readily overwhelmed and often subject to the traumatic symptoms of hyperarousal, shutdown and dysregulation. Dr Levine was a stress consultant for NASA on the development of the space shuttle project and was a member of the Institute of World Affairs Task Force of Psychologists for Social Responsibility in developing responses to large-scale disasters and ethnopolitical warfare. He is also a Senior Fellow at The Meadows Addiction and Trauma Treatment Center in Wickenburg, Arizona. Levine's international bestseller, Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma, has been translated into twenty-two languages. His recent interests include the prevention of trauma in children, and he has co-written two books, with Maggie Kline, in this area: Trauma Through a Child's Eyes and Trauma-Proofing Your Kids. His most recent book: In an Unspoken Voice: How the Body Releases Trauma and Restores Goodness, was released to rave reviews.  https://somaticexperiencing.com/  

Summary: This episode covers a lot of ground!  As Taruno says “trauma & addiction” are two sides of the same coin and in order for successful treatment both have to be addressed in the individual. Taruno speaks in depth about how trauma is an incomplete cycle of energy that resides in the body and needs to be discharged for the person in need to not be driven by the primal trauma responses of “fight or flight” or shut down ”immobilization” response. He says “all addiction is an attempt to regulate the nervous system” and this is at the root of why addiction occurs. He shares practical tools and tips as well shares many other modalities that one can begin to implement to not be at the mercy of trauma symptoms and live happily in your body.    More about Taruno Steffensen:  Taruno Steffensen has personally been in recovery for over 28 years and made it his life's work to help others in recovery to experience healing from the root cause of addiction— trauma. Taruno is a licensed alcohol and drug counselor, certified sex addiction therapist and Somatic Experiencing (SE) practitioner. Taruno has personally studied and learned from the of the best doctors, researchers, practitioners and healers such as Peter Levine, Bessel van der Kolk, Pia Melody and many more.

It is a new word in my dictionary, that’s why I am asking. Maybe it is also a new one for you. You know, for many of us, English is a second language, and we constantly learn… So ‘Havening’. Just hear it. And imagine a gentle touch on your skin. A touch that is full of love, trust, and compassion. A beautiful connection between two people. Havening. Heaven. Healing. A new therapy approach. And imagine an open-hearted and warm woman who shares with us her experience of working this way with her clients. Today I introduce to you: Sharna Hussain. A psychologist, a Core Energetics somatic psychotherapist, EMDR therapist, and a holotropic breathwork facilitator.WHAT IS HAVENING THERAPY?Havening Therapy is a new form of psychological therapy which is suitable for individuals suffering from stress, troubling memories, or problems with mood such as depression and anxiety. It was developed by Dr. Ronald Ruden, a dental surgeon from New York, with a background in hypnotherapy and coaching. He became interested in the work of Dr. Peter Levine a pioneer in body-centered trauma therapies, who developed the Somatic Experiencing (SE) technique. Dr. Ruben in recognising the effectiveness of SE set out to translate what the neuroscience could tell us about how such somatic techniques were able to produce such profoundly transformative changes for people, especially those with complex trauma. Then he created the Havening technique, a somewhat simpler version of SE.However, Havening (like Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Brainspotting) belongs to a new category of psychological therapies, known as ‘psycho-sensory therapy’, which all demonstrate how sensory input can change the brain, which is particularly helpful for those suffering from trauma-related conditions, as prior to their development, talk therapies had limited efficacy for such individuals. It should be noted that such somatic psychotherapy techniques have been around for over a century but have only entered the mainstream in this burgeoning age of neuroscience.

If you are as in love with Somatic Experiencing (SE) as I am OR if you hear me talk about it constantly and would like a better idea of what I am speaking about, THIS is the episode for you. It was a privilege to sit down with Dr Abi Blakeslee, a multi faceted individual gifted and well versed in SE trauma therapy and a valued member of the faculty staff of the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute and Foundation for Human Enrichment. Abi is a researcher as well as a therapist and faculty member, teaching SE all over the world. I am lucky to have her as my instructor in Somatic Experiencing training, and this conversation delves into some of my favorite topics including nervous system regulation, simple strategies to begin practicing, orienting to pleasure, and the role of implicit memory in healing trauma and why this can be significant for recovering alcoholics.

Frank Vestergaard Olsen - psykolog, SE Traumeterapeut og medejer af Traumeheling Aps - forklarer hvordan Somatic Experiencing® (SE) bygger på en fokuseret opmærksomhed på kropsfornemmelser, hvorved kroppens iboende og helende ressourcer aktiveres.    Somatic Experiencing er en internationalt anerkendt tilgang til behandling af traumer. Metoden er udviklet af  Dr. Peter Levine, psykolog og biofysiolog. Frank forklarer i denne podcast hvordan balancen i nervesystemet kan genetableres, hvorved stressreaktionerne helt eller delvis kan opløses.    Arbejdet med at forløse traumer gennem kroppen har vist sig effektiv ved større katastrofer og successive traumer, såsom vold og seksuelle overgreb i barndommen, krigstraumer , PTSD m.m. Men også enkeltstående voldsomme oplevelser, langvarig stress, akkumuleret stress, hovedtraumer og usikker opvækst, kan behandles med SE. Endelig bruges SE til behandling af diverse funktionelle lidelser.

Marla is a transformational spiritual medium who has been able to intuitively access heightened sensitivities within her own being allowing her to sense important information for one’s highest good. In some ways it could be described as reading the ‘information field’ that is the sum total of a person’s ‘wave form’ - or body. She is also able to access deceased loved ones in the same way. She has come to Auckland, NZ to present her findings of how consciousness survives death, alongside Dr Robin Kelly author of the Human Antenna and the Human Hologram who lives in Auckland In doing this she is making the paranormal - ’normal’. Remember this statement by the greatest scientist ever to set foot on earth? “The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.”     Nikola Tesla Marla’s receptivity to the invisible is able to bring healing and insight to anyone seeking deeper understanding about relationships, health, career, family, and spirituality. So what do we call a person who has ‘certain’ abilities that mainstream science is reluctant to acknowledge? This is because, even today, our scientific apparatus is not yet refined and calibrated enough to measure the sensitivities of the invisible? However, this new science is now including new vernacular and terminology to describe the way we decode information - that’s predominantly experienced as emanating data streams. Now we are more able to decipher and comprehend the invisible - and far more adroitly. Today, we still have the word ‘psychic’ being somewhat thrashed about in the public realm - from over a hundred years, that when we look at the root word of ‘psyche’ it’s from ancient Greek and means soul. However, today we have psychologists and psychiatrists working with the human mental process, yet most are unable to factor soul into their understanding of the gift that is the human body.   Marla has been involved in actively researching the psychic world and it’s hidden potentials for 30 years and has now a vast experience. She has also been studying and working with Tom Campbell, (interviewed last week on GreenplanetFM.com on the ‘theory of everything’) Marla’s joining Tom and his team for the first part of Tom’s Cultural Connection Tour here in Auckland.    Marla states that it’s important to have our own experience and this way we will understand the ‘larger consciousness system’ which is another terminology now being used to describe the Universe, God, Source, the Divine etc. As this scientific expression sees itself free of the emotive loading that religions have claimed domain over. She sees this ‘consciousness’ as being all information and uses her psychic capabilities to be able to receive, understand and share with others. The Universe is immaterial — mental and spiritual. Live, and enjoy, states Richard Conn Henry, Professor of Physics and Astronomy at The Johns Hopkins University, Maryland.    Marla has 20 years of therapeutic studies and 18 years of life coaching along with her on going exploration at the Monroe Institute, the largest educational center in the US for the study of expanded states of awareness. Bob Monroe originally started off studying ‘out of the body’ experiences and the Institute teaches others to do that and more. She has also been trained in remote viewing that the US army uses (and that is another story) plus has volunteered her skills to various law enforcement agencies, by  tapping into the ‘larger consciousness’ passing on information freely - in the Latin term - pro bono public ‘for the public good’. Today she spends her time helping people whose loved ones have died  to both reconnect and validate that we really do live/survive beyond death.Marla is able to hear, see and feel what those loved ones want to share with us. She is also radio co-host on the large paranormal internet / radio network in the US. Whitley Strieber’s www.Unknowncountry.com’s, Dreamland. Where she interviews credible science and spiritual authors - people out on the edge. Whitley Strieber is a well known author of a series of books including, ‘Communion’ and introducing the possibility of having close encounters of the first kind with UFO’s and Extraterrestrial beings. IN THIS INTERVIEW: She like Tom Campbell says we have to lower our entropy which means consciously slow down disorder - retain more order by being far more heart-centred. By explaining the new metaphysics in a new language it is easier for even hardline scientists to learn the new skills to access ‘the larger consciousness’ (the universe)  that they cannot only have success, but recognise what they are tapping into is God and as a result - do not feel threatened. As with Tom Campbell, in last weeks interview - science is recognising that consciousness came before the physical. See Eben Alexander MD        http://www.ebenalexander.com A renowned academic neurosurgeon, spent over three decades honing his scientific worldview. He thought he knew how the brain, mind and consciousness worked. A transcendental near-death experience (NDE), in which he was driven to the brink of death and spent a week deep in coma from an inexplicable brain infection, changed all of that–completely! He was shocked to find the hyper-reality of that spiritual realm, which many had reported in NDEs. He has spent the last five years reconciling his rich spiritual experience with contemporary physics and cosmology. His spiritual experience is totally consistent with the leading edges of scientific understanding today. Together, science and spirituality will thrive in a symbiosis offering the most profound insight into fundamental Truth, yielding unimaginable power. The keystone is in global progression of individual conscious awakening. Marla also mentions Elisabeth Kubler-Ross http://www.ekrfoundation.org - the Swiss Psychologists who in her life time interviewed 20,000 people who had experienced ‘near death’ and ‘out of the body experiences’.Though she had been deceased for some time - she met while Marla was experiencing an ‘out of the body state’ and who asked Marla to access information in one of her own Elisabeth Kubler-Ross’s books giving the chapter and page number, that when Marla came back to reality - located and accessed that book and there on the page that she was given, was the sentence stating that “she firmly believed in life after death!” Intent comes up yet again. If we have a consistently ‘honest intent’ and we ‘put out our needs’ to the ‘greater consciousness’ - we will be answered. Not necessarily for your wants or desires but you will receive what you need and what is best for you growth and understanding. Dr Brian Weiss MD   www.brianweiss.com Who today is is an American psychiatrist, hypnotherapist, and author who specialises in past life regression. His research includes reincarnation, past life regression, future life progression, and survival of the human soul after death. As a traditional psychotherapist, Dr. Brian Weiss was astonished and skeptical when one of his patients began recalling past-life traumas that seemed to hold the key to her recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks. His skepticism was eroded, however, when she began to channel messages from “the space between lives,” which contained remarkable revelations about Dr. Weiss’s family and his dead son. Using past-life therapy, he was able to cure the patient and embark on a new, more meaningful phase of his own career. The interview covers many subjects  - of the changing social landscape of our world today. ‘If you want to make changes for the better - ask in a respectful way.’ We must learn to ‘forgive both ourselves and others’ - this brings about profound change and softens our countenance. Touch is important especially when it comes to men, who are not in relationship and who are often alone or just hang out with other mates doing bloke stuff. Peter Levine  https://traumahealing.org Dr. Peter A. Levine  PhD in medical biophysics a doctorate in psychology. He has worked in the field of stress and trauma for over 40 years and is the developer of Somatic Experiencing. Peter’s original contribution to the field of Body-Psychotherapy was honoured in 2010 when he received the Lifetime Achievement award from the United States Association for Body Psychotherapy (USABP). That same year he also received the honorary Reis Davis Chair in Child Psychiatry for his innovative contribution to therapy for children and adolescents. NATURE’S LESSON Beginning in the 1970’s, Peter’s explorations into how animals deal with threat led to the development of a method that is highly effective in dealing with the effects of overwhelm on our nervous system, called Somatic Experiencing (SE). SE is a clinical methodology based upon an appreciation of why animals in the wild are not traumatised by routine threats to their lives, while humans, on the other hand, are readily overwhelmed and often subject to the traumatic symptoms of hyper arousal, shutdown and dysregulation.The interview then progresses onto the state of play across the USA that has culminated in a new administration that’s changing the way people think - and are asking where is the future of our children and grandchildren going? Marla, as if ‘tapping into the collective unconsciousness’ of the American people expresses what seems to be an undercurrent rippling throughout that nation. That there is a major change agent in power calling out on so many levels. That the disposed, those who have seen jobs off shored, loss of homes and the thought of a benevolent future, have to now come together and initiate community oriented grass roots change with Non profit start ups. etc. Furthering the interview: She states that ‘our people are our strengths and a ‘good leader’ intuitively knows this. That communities coming together must find innovative ways to support their leaders and empower them to do the very best they can and by following due process - also hold them to account. She uses the analogy  of ‘a boil on our butt that we can’t sit down and be comfortable with’ so we need to act together for the benefit of today’s and tomorrow’s children. When it was mentioned that ‘we need to love our neighbour as ourselves’ Marla says yes, - ‘however’ the imperative is to love ourselves first - so that we can be empowered and full, within our chest cavity. If we have no love in our heart, we need to seek support and help to change and inspire all who we come in contact with. Love is a force that emanates from our being, that penetrates the darkness and that can be ever so subtle in its affect on us - as when we feel it - it’s so heartfelt and unmistakably wonderful as we expand our being in a state of profound gratefulness and thankfulness. In this interview, Marla along with Tom Campbell another remarkable change agent for a ‘greater consciousness’ is here in NZ to offer new insights and understandings about existence. That we live in a world that is shifting its compass points to allow people to realise that change is happening, and that we embrace it, remain calm and realise that we are part of a greater whole - that we all can tap into to change our lives for the better. For both ourselves and the greater community as a whole. Another initiative Marla is involving herself is with how elders wish to share with the youth of today. Marla joins Molly Ireland a local study coach, www.beyondthecourse.co.nz - to offer a better way to focus for your children, empower them to navigate their way through life and assist their growth.

"I really wanted to find this kind of connection between the spiritual and the embodied so you really felt the aliveness in your body. Its not just something we kind of reflected on or thought about or experienced from a distance, but your actually felt it." - Brad Kammer Brad Krammer wrote a short intro for Coleyolgy Podcast listeners: From a young age, I’ve had an insatiable curiosity in people and relationships. As I moved into adulthood, I determined that I couldn’t just “hold a job”, but that I needed to dedicate my life to doing what I can to relieve the suffering in our world. This lead me to studying and living amongst different cultures, religions and healing approaches, and eventually into psychology. My interest in the fields of Somatic Psychology and Interpersonal Neurobiology emerged from my belief that healing must be integrated with both mind and body, as well as in connection with our relationships. I live in the hills of Northern California with my family where I am a somatic psychotherapist in private practice, as well as a college professor, community educator, and consultant for several training organizations. I am also a trainer in Somatic Experiencing (SE) and the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), two cutting-edge approaches to working with shock and developmental trauma. My passion lies in supporting individuals, couples and families in shifting old patterns and experiencing greater pleasure and fulfillment in their lives. Ultimately, I believe this is the pathway toward greater tolerance and peace in the world.

Meeting the demands of daily life can be overwhelming. Developing healthy boundaries – physical and energetic - can help you reduce stress and feel more in control. In this podcast, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) Brian D. Mahan explains why it’s hard for many people to set clear boundaries (because most of us didn’t learn how in childhood).   “We weren’t allowed to have those boundaries in our family situation and then we don’t know how to take that…. Into our social lives.” “The more we are able to identify what our energetic boundaries are, what our values are, then the more we are able to……  sit in the strength of our own sense of what’s right and wrong,” said Mahan. Mahan says identifying your core values is key a first step toward establishing healthy boundaries. “It’s important to get in touch with ‘what’s important to us, what’s not important, what we like and what we dislike.” When values are defined, he says, a person can make a decision and take action, or what he calls ‘healthy aggression.’ “we have this opinion that aggression is a bad thing, and the reason we have that is it’s usually shamed out of us as children” but, Mahan says ‘Healthy aggression is also discipline, dedication, drive, empowerment.” In this podcast, you will also learn how Somatic Experiencing (SE) can offer relief to those suffering from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), trauma and other disturbing life events. Mahan was introduced to SE at the suggestion of his chiropractor. He was suffering from daily panic attacks following a major car crash. He says, after three SE sessions, his panic attacks went away. The experience was so life-changing for him, he became an SE practitioner and now trains others in this methodology as well. SE, created by Dr. Peter Levine, is considered one of the world’s foremost approaches for dealing with developmental trauma, anxiety, stress and panic disorders. Find out more about Brian D.
