Podcasts about somatic psychotherapy

Clinician Paula Scatoloni returns to the Groundless Ground 6 years later, to share the evolution of her clinical work which now integrates sound therapies and energy medicine techniques along with somatic psychotherapy. This is a fascinating episode covering several kinds of sound modalities, such as: The Safe and Sound Protocol a unique listening experience that has been filtered through a patented, evidence-based algorithm highlighting specific sound frequencies which help regulate the autonomic nervous system and stimulate the vagus nerve. Binaural beats and Bio-lateral beats whose proponents assert these sound waves enhance certain beneficial brainwaves, though those claims lack good clinical research. And Biofield Tuning which utilizes a tuning fork to identify and resolve energetic disturbances in the subtle body nervous system. While all of this may sound far-fetched, Paula and I try our best to present it with the clarity and levelheadedness you deserve. Paula Scatoloni LCSW  holds a degree in social work and is certified in Somatic Experiencing, Biofield Tuning, Reiki, Brain Spotting, and many other forms of somatic therapy. She integrates her Western framework with earth-based practices for sound journeying and her gifts in vibrational healing

Happy Satiated Saturday! Satiated Podcast is back!!!! One thing you're going to receive in the upcoming interviews is more exploration of nutrition. When I went through my Master's Degree in Somatic Psychotherapy, I was consistently surprised that there was no class on nutrition. This feels like a missing piece in the therapeutic world. I feel therapists would benefit from being aware that a person's nutritional status can also be contributing to their symptoms. This includes one of the many reasons why you might be binging. Binge eating isn't just a reaction to emotional or nervous system dysregulation. It can also be triggered by nutrient depletion from living in a trauma response. When your body is stuck in a state of chronic stress, it tries to compensate for the lost nutrients and minerals. Binging is your body's best strategy to get its nutritional needs met.In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I talk about: the connection between trauma and nutrient depletion what nutrients get depleted because of ongoing high cortisol levelsa baby step you can take to start to be in a new relationship with nutrition You can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/trauma-response-and-your-binge-eatingAs a reminder, doors to the Somatic Eating® Program are officially open!!!

In a society that is plagued by disordered eating and body image issues, there's a need to explore somatic eating, which is an innovative approach to understanding our body and food. Today, I host Stephanie Mara, a Somatic Nutritional Counselor, who shares her personal story of struggling with food for many years and how her background story was fostered to take her to where she is today.   Stephanie's pioneering approach shines a light on the urgent need for us to listen to our bodies and cultivate a deeper understanding of our relationship with food. In this enlightening episode, we delve into: -Somatic approach to life and its importance in relation to food and the body.  -Stephanie Mara's journey and how she developed the concept of somatic eating.  -Her personal story of having a troubled relationship with food allergies and food sensitivities. -How her early 20s digestive issues led her to become curious about the digestive tract and nutrition. -The somatic approach and its connection between the head, brain, and gut through the vagus nerve.  -How the sympathetic nervous system, activated in a state of perceived threat, can affect digestion.  -How trauma and chronic stress can contribute to a disconnection with the body and lead to using food as a source of safety and regulation.  -Compassion and normalization of using food as a resource while also encouraging diversifying stress management techniques.

Today I'm thrilled to share my conversation with Shura Eagen, MS, LPC. Shura is a licensed therapist who works with men on a daily basis in a number of applied modalities. I invited her on the show to talk about the common issues she sees coming up for the men she works with. We discuss how men often experience unknown emotions as “anxiety”, and that befriending the sensations - rather than fixing them - is the way forward. We discuss the dynamics of partners in the home, dating in the age of digital loneliness, and raising children with more opportunity to play and find their self expression.--Shura Eagen has a master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with an emphasis in Somatic Psychology through Prescott College. She has completed advanced training in trauma-informed Hakomi Mindfulness-based Somatic Psychotherapy and Experiential Attachment Psychotherapy through the M.E.T.A. Institute in Portland, OR. In 2020, she became a level I AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) therapist, and her current focus in working with her clients is breathwork.

Happy Satiated Saturday! There were two tracks at my graduate school in Somatic Psychotherapy. One was the Body Psychotherapy track, which is what I took, and the other was Dance Movement Therapy (DMT). The classes that I was able to take in DMT sometimes made me wish I had chosen that track of studies. The fitness culture has warped our beliefs around the purpose of movement. I've had clients say to me what's the point of moving their bodies if they're not trying to change their bodies. I get it. Physical movement has become synonymous with sculpting and shaping the body to look a certain way and that's it. The importance of physical movement though is so much more. The word emotion comes from the Latin word emovere: to be moved. Many body oriented practitioners state that the issues get lodged in our tissues. It is through movement that you can digest, assimilate, and move emotion through your body.In this week's episode, we're going to explore the movement modalities that have impacted the field of somatics. You will learn how these movement practices might support you in your well-being and in your relationship with food. You can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/the-history-of-somatics-a-movement-in-movementNext week, we will continue this mini-series exploring the bodywork influences on the field of somatics such as Rolfing, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Biodynamic Massage, Rubenfeld Synergy and much more.With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter of the show here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportCheck out my favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingCheck out my favorite protein powder and receive 15% off when you use the code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/discount/STEPHANIEMARA?rfsn=7433250.c99684Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsoun...

I've shared on the podcast before that I've struggled with emotional eating, and I know I'm not alone. In this episode, Stephanie Mara Fox, a Somatic Nutritional Counselor and Mentor, is sharing her expertise on how we can tune into our body's cues to break our patterns of emotional eating while still giving ourselves comfort and safety. If you struggle with turning to food for comfort, this is the episode for you! Stephanie Mara Fox, MA, CMBEC, CHC, CYT, is a Somatic Nutritional Counselor and Mentor with a Master's Degree in Somatic Psychotherapy. She is the creator of Somatic Eating®, a body-oriented, sensation focused therapeutic approach to eating. She's supported women, coaches, and wellness professionals all over the world, helping them to heal from disordered eating patterns, binge eating, emotional eating, chronic dieting, and body image concerns.  Connect with Stephanie: Stephanie's Website Somatic Eating® Website Satiated Podcast Instagram Facebook Linkedin TikTok Contact: support@stephaniemara.com You can receive 50% off Stephanie's Intro to Somatic Eating® Mini Course here: bit.ly/3YQi5Td (discount already applied) Check out my anti-anxiety and meditation journal, “Bring Your Shit to Light: You deserve more than what your limiting beliefs are telling you!” on Amazon!   Some key takeaways from this episode include: “Somatic” means relating to the body as distinct from the mind. While a lot of remedies focus on our thoughts first, somatic practices have us pay attention to sensations in our bodies to tune in to what it might be telling us. If you're stuck in a pattern of emotional eating, recognize that you're looking for safety in a time of stress in your body. Don't judge yourself or beat yourself up. Instead, look for other ways to give yourself that feeling of safety that isn't food related. As you're working through healthier coping mechanisms, you might feel some grief for your old source of comfort, and that's okay! Recognize that it did help you feel safe when you needed that, and have compassion for your inner child.   Welcome to the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins (that's me!).

“In traditional, more formal therapy, most of us are taught in school, ‘It's a slippery slope to sexual abuse, don't touch your clients'…In psychedelic therapy, there's an understanding: touch can be beneficial…Deciding to not use an intervention based on your fear of litigation is not ethical.” Welcome to Integrating Psychedelics, featuring insights gleaned from psychedelic experiences and conversations around how to integrate this wisdom into our daily lives. I'm your host, Jenny Weinar, and in today's episode I'm speaking with Sabrina Santa Clara. Sabrina's early career began as a massage therapist, embodiment educator and yoga instructor focused on the interchange of soma, psyche and spirit. She received her Master's in Dance/Movement Therapy and Body Psychotherapy from Naropa University and has been a Certified Internal Family Systems Therapist for over 15 years.

The song's purpose is to help the listener relax and feel at peace. The song features Smoot's haunting and ethereal vocals, as well as beautiful piano melodies. “Power of My Heart” was inspired by Smoot's own personal journey of self-discovery and healing.

Through her own healing process, she discovered the power of music to calm and relax the mind. The song was written to provide listeners with a tool for relaxation and self-care. “Power of My Heart” is perfect for anyone who is looking for a way to relax and unwind. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/julie-smoot/message

Happy Satiated Saturday! Two decades ago, I was navigating being on and off diets, binge eating, emotionally eating, overexercising, and doing anything I could to run away from my body. My body was the place that was holding on to trauma and food was the answer to feeling regulated and safe. On my journey to healing my relationship with food and body, I explored yoga, multiple different therapeutic modalities, and experimented with various ways to eat to deepen into relationship and understanding of my body. Along the way, I received my Master's Degree in Somatic Psychotherapy and have now been working for over a decade to support others worldwide to find a safe, secure, and satiated relationship with food. A common theme I've found over the years is that almost every single person I've worked with - who was looking to decrease patterns of chronic dieting, binge and emotional eating, eating disorder behaviors, and body image concerns - had some kind of trauma in their past. Let's define trauma as anything that occurred too much, too fast, and there was no one around to help you regulate and know everything was going to be alright. I have seen gaps in the approach to supporting others to heal their relationship with their food and body, which has fueled me to explore what is actually going to guide others into a safe and regulating relationship with food. And this is how over the years Somatic Eating™ was created through all my clinical and educational experiences.In this week's episode, I talk about what Somatic Eating™ is, how it can support you in your relationship with food, what is explored in Somatic Eating™ and a special offer for those interested in joining my Somatic Eating™ Program (for free!) You can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/what-is-somatic-eatingThe start of the Somatic Eating™ Program is coming up this next Friday!

Psychologist Raja Selvam, discusses his new book, The Practice of Embodying Emotions: A Guide for Improving Cognitive, Emotional, and Behavioral Outcomes.  Raja is the creator of Integral Somatic Psychology™ (ISP™), an effective somatic therapy that encourages optimal mental health by fully embodying emotions. Raja and I explore how clinicians can facilitate patient resolution of difficult emotions by allowing increased recognition of emotion and then expanding that emotion to more of the body. Rather than cognitively down-regulating emotions, this somatic approach of expanding emotion increases affect tolerance and resolves systemic distress. ISP is a complementary modality for all talk therapy methods. It was an honor to dialogue with Raja about ISP and also our mutual interest in non-dual philosophy.Clinical psychologist Raja Selvam, PhD, is the developer of Integral Somatic Psychology™ (ISP™), an effective somatic therapy that helps clients achieve optimal mental health by fully embodying their emotions. Raja is also a senior trainer at Somatic Experiencing® International. His work is informed by Reichian Therapy and Bioenergetic Analysis, Bodynamic Analysis and Somatic Experiencing, and bodywork systems of Postural Integration and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy. His work is also inspired by Jungian and archetypal psychologies, Kleinian and intersubjective schools of psychoanalysis, affective neuroscience, quantum physics, yoga, Polarity Therapy, and Advaita Vedanta (a spiritual psychology from India). He did trauma outreach work in India in 2005–2006 with survivors of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, based on which he has published an outcome study titled “Somatic Therapy Treatment Effects with Tsunami Survivors,” in the journal Traumatology in 2008. Dr. Selvam's work is also inspired by the work he did in Sri Lanka in 2012–2014 with survivors of war, violence, loss, and displacement, and with mental health professionals engaged in treating them, after Sri Lanka's thirty-year civil war ended in 2009.

Richard Hill and Matthew Dahlitz have written a comprehensive, definitively modern psychotherapy textbook titled, "Practitioners Guide to the Science of Psychotherapy". Their book covers basic neuroscience, body-brain systems, genetic processes and the application of integrative psychotherapy modalities for mental health disorders. This is the textbook I wished for many years ago when I attended graduate school. I was so excited to dialogue with these two brilliant men about the current sad state of standard psychotherapy, and the need for updated curricula and therapist retraining that rests upon scientifically validated patient-responsive treatments. This episode is a critical rallying cry in support of transforming a psychology/psychotherapy profession that fails to adequately meet the needs of so many patients. Richard Hill  is managing editor of The Science of Psychotherapy  magazine and lives in Sydney, Australia.  at 42 (1996) beginning with a Bachelor of Arts majoring in linguistics.

Richard is also fortunate to be mentored by the esteemed Ernest Rossi PhD who has invited Richard into the International Psychosocial Genomics Research  Matthew Dahlitz  is editor-in-chief of The Science of Psychotherapy magazine.

-How can codependency show up in our physical bodies? -What about bodywork can help you stop neglecting your body and start to tend to your physical needs? -Why should you start to integrate body work into your self-care routine to help promote your healing from codependency? In this episode, we hear from the amazing Randi Kofsky, LMFT, all about codependency in the body and how bodywork can promote our healing. Not only does Randi share her expertise as a licensed psychotherapist about her perspective on codependency, she also explains the negative physical consequences she's observed as a body worker. You'll hear Randi share about cranial sacral therapy and she walks us through a specific exercise you can use to help slow down and tune into your body! We codependummies are like a “chicken with her body cut off,” so tuning into this episode to learn how to tune in to our bodies is A MUST!  Thanks for your support!

She provides Cranial Sacral Therapy in Los Angeles and specializes in Somatic Psychotherapy for Individuals and work with Couples to Rewire Communication habits for enhanced Intimacy & Connection. www.innerwavebodywork.com  www.innerrichestherapy.com  More deets on the episode: We start with hearing from Randi about how she conceptualizes codependency and some codependent experiences she's had in her own life.  We then shift to the topic of the body-ody-ody! That thing attached to our heads that we tend to neglect to our detriment thanks to being overfocused on others and their needs.  Randi answers how codependency shows up in the body, how bodywork can help us heal from our codependency, and what bodywork looks like in our self-care practices.  Randi emphasizes how and why it is so important for codependents to connect with their bodies. Rathern than simply processing our thoughts, feelings, and actions in our head, bodywork can help us integrate our experiences in a more holistic manner through our body. Imagine going to talk therapy one time per week to “talk it out” and then going to a bodywork session to “roll it out.” It's a win-win given how cut off we are from our bodies. We end with Randi walking us through an exercise that we can take with us to practice connecting with our bodies.  It's a must-listen! Thanks for coming on Randi! Questions for you: What came up as you heard Randi's definition of codependency? How do you relate to Randil's examples of her codependency? What aspects of your codependency were you reminded of? How do you sense your codependency shows up in your body? What are the physical symptoms of your codependency? Where would you rate your level of connectedness with your physical body from 1-10? Why did you pick that number and what do you need to bring it closer to a 10? What did you notice while following Randi's steps to connect with our bodies via a cranial sacral method? How can you pay more attention to you body this hour? This day? And this week? It's a must to start to pay attention to our bodies! Thank you for listening!

Join us for this special series episode where one of the Holistic Healers of Orange County, CA, De Anna Holloway, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist presents about how somatic psychotherapy is helpful when working with the sexual trauma body. You can find De Anna at her website: www.innerworkjourney.com

I have long wished for one complete website where I could find information about every trauma modality––the who, what, where, why, and how of trauma-informed care if you will––because I want training in all of them!  The truth is, whether we're therapists, specialized healers, or lightworkers, there's a reason why we call what we do practice: we never arrive at a place of absolute knowing.  Shelby Leigh helps practitioners of all sorts examine, without judgment, the situations that arise, teaching them how to best integrate a foundation of trauma awareness into their practice life. When we accompany clients on their healing journeys, we're bound to encounter new conflicts and confront reminders of our past traumas. It's these inevitabilities that Shelby's 1-to-1 coaching sessions and group programs make space to address. Her coaching clients gain a more nuanced understanding of themselves and how trauma impacts the care dynamic. As someone who's constantly urging therapists to do their own work, I hella approve of Shelby's coaching roadmap! I appreciate healers like her, who actively support the rest of us as we push the self-imposed limits of our intrapersonal communication skills and deepen our interpersonal healing.  GET CONNECTED Voicemail for 200th episode: https://speak-to.us/convoswithawoundedhealer Waiting List for Wounded Healers Virtual Group: https://tinyurl.com/WoundedHealerWaitlist GUEST CONTACT BIO Shelby Leigh has nearly 15 years of clinical practice, a Master's degree in Somatic Psychotherapy, two coaching Certificates and numerous trainings in the Somatic treatment of trauma.

Today on Here's the Deal, I‘m talking with Stephanie Mara Fox. She is a Somatic Nutritional Counselor, which is a body oriented, sensation approach to eating. You learn to listen and observe your body's eating. A lot of times what your body is missing is safety, we aren't feeling safe and regulated in our own bodies. We talk about trauma, healing, your internal dialogue, and how to shift your energy. We talk about intuitive eating and why it may not be working for you, the internal dialogue that you have with yourself and how that dialogue started and how being preoccupied with your weight is protecting you and why it may feel safer than processing what else may need your attention.

She is the creator of Somatic Eating™, a body-oriented, sensation focused therapeutic approach to eating.

This is a very special episode with Beverley Kane, MD, discussing her book Equine-imity: Stress Reduction and Emotional Self-Regulation in the Company of Horses, which introduces us to somatic horsemanship—a therapeutic practice for exploring the physical relationship between humans and horses, on the ground and on the horse, to promote body-mind-spirit well-being in both species. Dr. Kane portrays horses as consummate teachers of healthy embodiment and emotional resilience and describes interventions like medical qigong that help patients learn how to regulate and heal nervous system and psychological dysfunction.  She tells us about somato-intuitive skills horses naturally use like presentiment and going back to grazing which we can model and implement to enrich our daily lives. This is an informative and enchanting dialogue to kick off 2022 with a heartfelt wish for total health.Beverley Kane, MD, is Adjunct Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine and an integrative medicine physician in the Stanford Division of Primary Care and Population Health, Palo Alto, California. She is the founder and Lead Mare of Horsensei Equine-Assisted Learning and Therapy (HEALTH). 

In this episode I have a conversation with Chris Paige, LCSW to talk about how trauma affects the nervous system and how modalities like EMDR and the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) can help people integrate trauma. The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) uses specially-filtered music to train the neural network associated with listening to focus on the frequency range of the human voice. Through the SSP program, the vagus nerve becomes stimulated and the state of feeling more safe and calm becomes accessible. Chris Paige, MSW, LCSW is a licensed therapist and coach with more than 28 years of experience resolving trauma. He graduated from Barry University with a Master's of Social Work after completing his undergraduate studies at Southern Methodist University. He has worked in a variety of professional and therapeutic settings and has coached professional and Olympic athletes to achieve peak performance. Highly skilled in treating trauma, Chris has been featured on Dateline NBC for his work with children of divorce as well as in the national magazine, Muses and Visionaries, in which he had his own column called “On the Couch with Chris Paige.” Chris is trained in hypnosis, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), the Safe and Sound Protocol,  Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and Somatic Psychotherapy-- all of which he incorporates in his work. He has been in private practice since 1998 and provides trauma resolution coaching to clients across the nation.  To learn more about Chris and his offerings visit www.chrispaigelcsw.com or you can connect with him on FB at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100009338069769 To work with me or discover more about my offerings visit www.michelewaterman.com.

Handling some of the emotions that surface during coaching sessions can be a delicate process. Some instances may lead you to even suspect trauma in the life of a client. What a some signs a caring coach should watch for to know if referral to a licensed therapist is needed? What can a coach do within their own coaching scope to further help a client? In this episode, Jen Taylor, a licenced trauma therapist with numerous credentials and training in multiple techniques, shares her insights and tips. As Jen and I spoke, one important point stuck out to me that Jen really felt to be most important as well. That is: the relationship a client develops with you is paramount to success. This is true whether a client is dealing with trauma or not. But since trauma is usually experienced within relationship, so can healing be experienced within relationship. So the more you can positively connect with a client, the more you can help them heal and improve their life, which is the goal of all coaching. What You'll Learn How Trauma is Defined and some Red-Flags of Potential Trauma An unintegrated response to a physical or emotional stressor The nervous system's overwhelm that marks trauma Belief whether or not we had agency over what happened Survival brain hijacking Emotional and physical symptoms to watch for, tracking body movements How to Tell the Difference between Trauma and Normal Life Ups and Downs How quickly does the person recover from an upset? Does the person feel overwhelmed and powerless or do they feel they have agency? Is it impacting their daily life? How to Incorporate Help Within the Scope of Coaching Help clients develop the ability to be a witness of their own cognitive, emotional and somatic experiences (often referred to as decoupling) Increase curiosity to put distance between circumstance and response Encourage regulation and staying connected with self during disregulation The Top-Down Approach Versus the Bottom-Up Approach The brain creates thoughts and feelings and sends those down to the body; but the body also creates feelings and sends them up to the brain (how it is all interconnected) Using the body as an ally instead of an enemy Staying with the emotions that are coming up, creating space How to settle into, and make use of, a sensorial response Contact Info and Recommended Resources Meet Jen Taylor, MA, LPCC Jen is a somatic trauma therapist, specializing in EMDR Therapy, Sensorimotor Therapy, and Assisted Psychotherapy.

In this episode, Marcella talks briefly about the origins of the Tarot. It's history, a breakdown of the cards, a casual exploration of the deck, a look at the Smith Waite Deck, and offers some guidance on how to work with the Tarot for Empowerment, as well as providing some simple layout suggestions for the cards.  Special guests who speak on some of the most misunderstood cards include Angeliska Polacheck, Edgar Fabián Frías, Sterling Moon, Eliza Swann, and Diana Rose Harper. Guest bios and links Sterling Moon - If you are looking for some down-to-earth divination with a side of compassion and a dash of humor, Sterling Moon is the spiritual worker for you. Sterling has been reading tarot since 1995 and has had the ability to connect with spirits of the dead and the natural world since childhood. She has evolved to work in a Scandinavian tradition as a völva, which is a seeress or prophetess and is a cunning woman, practicing folk magic her ancestors would recognize from their homelands and influenced by the magical practices that evolved in the United States. She practices all with honor for the beauty, struggle, and survivorship of the ancestors and elders whose shoulders she stands on.  Insta - @sterlingmoontarot   Website - http://sterlingmoontarot.com/ (SterlingMoonTarot.com)  Edgar Fabián Frías is a nonbinary, queer, indigenous (Wixárika), Latinx, and Brown multidisciplinary artist, curator, educator, and psychotherapist.

In this episode, Janice explores that oh-so-common experience of getting triggered in the present due to past experiences of trauma, and how the activation of our fight-flight-freeze response in these situations can make it super challenging to stay calm and objective.She also discusses that we may have explicit memories of past traumas, but also implicit ones that we aren't aware of consciously. And she shares why it can be useful to learn how to discern between experiences where there is an actual threat to our safety, experiences where there is a valid concern but an additional layer of past wounding, and experiences where safety is there but we are unable to feel safe.This episode is part 3 of an ongoing series on healing trauma.*Please note that Janice is not a trauma expert or therapist, and that this series shares about her one personal experience of learning about and healing traumaRate & review the podcast on:Apple PodcastsPodchasersSpotifywww.TheSoulsWorkPodcast.comConnect with me:Instagram: @janicehoimagesFacebook: @thesoulsworkpodcastEmail: thesoulsworkpodcast@gmail.comListen to all The Soul's Work Podcast episodes: www.thesoulsworkpodcast.comGet the show notes here: https://www.thesoulsworkpodcast.com/s2-ep8-healing-trauma-part-3-getting-triggered-why-cant-we-just-leave-the-past-in-the-past/Resources mentioned in this episode:Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving (Pete Walker)Healing Developmental Trauma (Laurence Heller and Aline LaPierre) (the NARM model)MINDBODY SEMINAR: Introduction to Somatic Psychotherapy and Embodied Communication (Dr. Aline LaPierre)Tribal Theory – Nurturing One's Nature online event (Certified Listener's Society) (Barbara Allyn)Somatic Internal Family Systems Therapy: Awareness, Breath, Resonance, Movement, and Touch in Practice (Susan McConnell)@traumaawarecare on InstagramIrene Lyon

Kathy L. Kain, PhD returns to share her unparalleled expertise on effective use of somatic interventions in in-person and online psychotherapy. She gets very specific about what interventions work and don’t work, and the kind of patients that may benefit or be underserved when the medium of contact is screen-only. And Kathy gives in-depth analysis of the interplay of awareness and points of contact in somatic interventions; regardless of whether the clinician has physical contact with a patient or not. We also take a deep dive into the role of intersubjectivity in somatic work—the importance of viewing the patient as the expert, and how to skillfully navigate somatic counter-transference while keeping in mind the patient’s benefit and maintenance of therapeutic and relational connection. This episode is appropriate for both somatic practitioners as well as novices who may be interested in the mechanics of this work, particularly in the psychotherapeutic process. Here is the link to hear Kathy's first GG episode.Kathy L. Kain has practiced and taught bodywork and trauma recovery skills for nearly 40 years. She teaches in Europe, Australia, Canada, and throughout the United States. Kathy is a senior trainer in the Somatic Experiencing training program, an adjunct faculty member of Sonoma State University, and was a senior trainer for 12 years in the Somatic Psychotherapy training program based in Sydney, Australia.

And how is this therapy helpful for couples and individuals? Charon believes that our bodies hold to the key to our mental sexual stance. “How embodied are you?” she asks. “We withhold things in our physical body. Anxiety is a body memory of a time that we felt useless. You have issues in your tissues. So, asking yourself how ‘IN’ body you are, helps those issues in the tissues!”

Happy Satiated Saturday!At the beginning of every podcast episode, I mention that I'm a Somatic Nutritional Counselor. Have you been wondering what that is?In this week’s episode, I explain what Somatic Psychotherapy and Somatic Nutrition is and how this approach to your food and body can be so incredibly healing. You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here. I know this time in the world has been intense. If you have found yourself trying to gain a sense of control through what and when and how you're eating, you're not alone. Please don't judge yourself for utilizing a strategy that in the moment completely works. Food does have this amazing way of supporting us in feeling grounded and embodied. You're never ever doing anything "wrong" or "bad" by choosing food to emotionally self soothe in a moment that just feels too intense to navigate.I'm here for you on this journey. Reach out anytime.

Psychedelic-assisted interventions appear to be all the rage these days. Though there are many psychedelic evangelists I wanted to find a credible medical resource to discuss these treatments. Deep gratitude to my friend Ron Purser who introduced me to my esteemed guest, Sylver Quevedo, MD, a pioneer in integrative family and internal medicine, assistant professor of medicine at Stanford and UCSF, co-Founder of Polaris Insight Center for Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and Principle Investigator in the FDA clinical trials on MDMA for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. Our conversation was enlightening and it was fascinating to hear about Dr. Quevedo’s long history of work in public health, his devotion to providing medical care for indigenous populations in the American Southwest and Africa, and his enduring personal and professional interest in clinical use of psychedelic plant medicines. He beautifully explicates the biologic mechanisms of psilocybin, MDMA, ketamine, ayahuasca, mescaline and how these substances differ in effect and usefulness in psychotherapy. Dr. Quevedo is limited in discussing outcomes of the current phase 3 MDMA trials but he shared results of previous MDMA for PTSD trials, as well as use of psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy for end-of-life anxiety, depression, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy for suicidal depression and chronic pain. So sit back and enjoy the journey this amazing physician takes us on.https://www.polarisinsight.com/https://maps.org Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies https://clinicaltrials.gov/ NIH MDMA StudiesSylver Quevedo, MD, Internist Polaris Co-Founder and Medical Director has been in continuous practice of medicine for 40 years and practices nephrology, family, internal, and integrative medicine. He serves as Assistant Professor  at Stanford and UCSF.  He has played pivotal roles in several global health projects, including planning and development of medical and nursing school in Africa. The staff at Polaris Insight Center are dedicated to the ethical and compassionate clinical use of ketamine-assisted, and psychedelic-assisted, psychotherapy. Our founding members are all MAPS (Multi-disciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) trained clinicians who have participated in both Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD.

When Ger was 9 years old, he found his father dead at home. Unable to process his grief, it would be shut inside for many years until Ger found his way, as a young adult, into a caring profession and gradually began to address his own inner landscape and wounding. His early experience of his father's sudden death and unexpressed grief caught up with him eventually and he developed stomach issues which lead him to discover Somatic Psychotherapy, opening a door into working psychotherapeutically with others. Ger talks to me about his personal experience of grief, how it unfolded in layers over the years and how a spiritual perspective can be a great resource for us in times of overwhelm. We talked about ways that we can manage the collective grief we feel about climate change and the environmental legacy we are leaving our children. Such a rich conversation with Ger Murphy on a range of grief perspectives and a little poetry woven throughout. Ger's website is http://www.iccp.ie. One of the poems that Ger shares with us in the podcast features in this video put together by justmultimedia and can be seen here https://youtu.be/_UrdhfTAkKU In the conversation, Ger mentions the work of http://marknepo.com and https://www.joannamacy.net/main Note from Liz: I hope you're all getting something really beneficial from the Shapes Of Grief podcast.

Ostrolenk speaks with Nancy Eichhorn, PhD, teacher and editor of Somatic Psychotherapy Today.

Eichhorn details her educational and personal experience that led her to focus on somatic psychotherapy and several key educational opportunities for others to study this practice. Ostrolenk and Eichhorn also discuss the importance of touch and how U.S. culture unfortunately rejects the practice of human touch.

Self-Care Houston, Episode 21: Craig Penner joins Jennifer in a conversation about Natural Processing. Craig Penner, LMFT, is a psychotherapist and trainer, in private practice in Santa Barbara since 1982. He brings a process-oriented approach to therapy, with a strong somatic (body/nervous system) focus, and integrates EMDRand other uses of “bilateral stimulation,” to help the therapy be as efficient and effective as possible. He has always believed that we have a natural drive to completion and resolution. This has inspired his commitment to develop “Natural Processing,” which is an integration of ways to utilize our own awareness to facilitate that drive. He has been training therapists in this approach across the US and Canada since 2014, and has led consultations and other trainings for over 25 years.

What follows are stories of how the communication breakdown led to undesirable results – loss of friendship, loss of a business deal, an argument with a loved one, or just the sense that you didn’t deliver what was possible. What if there was a different possibility?  http://laurenpolly.com/

What if committing to your life–what you came here to create, who you came here to be, what you are up to this time ’round–is the greatest gift of joy and possibility for YOU that you can choose?  And what if that changes EVERYTHING around you? I’ve seen since this dynamic conversation peoples lives change in an instant.  Instant money flowing in. Instant happy body. Instant possibility. Instant invitation to step in to more. Instant change. My relationship is getting sweeter, more spacious, more delicious.  My kids are happy.  My business is ready to explode again.  I’m having more fun than ever.  And my body is singing. And actually none of that even matters.  I’ve chosen me for the first time ever.  Really.  Truly. Here I am and here I go.  And here I create and here I BE.   Heather Nichols has been playing and creating in the field of transformation and magic her whole life.  A visionary, agent of change, and knower of what is possible beyond this reality, she has been facilitating people into joyful embodiment, phenomenal businesses, orgasmic living, and juicy creation through the vehicles of Somatic Psychotherapy, Movement, Tantra, Feminine Leadership, and Access Consciousness for over 18 years.  She lives in Boulder, Seattle, on airplanes, and all over this beautiful globe where she adores working with people to say YES to the brilliant lives that are waiting for them on the other side of choice. www.heathernichols.com

For more than 40 years, Owen Marcus has explored and developed programs that bring together mindfulness, somatic psychotherapy, and the science of emotional physiology. After healing challenges of his dyslexia and Asperger’s Syndrome, he realized his relationship skills were lacking. Identifying his resistance to working with men as his next challenge, he dove into creating his first men’s group at his clinic in Scottsdale, AZ in 1995. First, a huge-thank you to my sponsors for making this podcast happen: *Brighter Vision* ( http://brightervision.com/guy ) When you’re in private practice it can be tough just to find the time to review your marketing efforts, let alone make improvements where they’re needed.

You can get your first month entirely free just for listening to The Trauma Therapist | Podcast.. To get started, just head on over to brightervision.com/guy ( http://brightervision.com/guy ). CPTSD Foundation ( https://cptsdfoundation.org/traumatherapistpodcast/) ) CPTSD Foundation provides live, daily, peer-led, interactive group calls, in a safe atmosphere for survivors of complex trauma, equipping them with skills and information they can use every single day in their healing journey. Receive 50% off the first month when you join at: http://bit.ly/2MEbBqc ( https://cptsdfoundation.org/traumatherapistpodcast/) ) Unsatisfied with the status quo, Owen began expanding the model of men’s groups, incorporating what he saw working in corporate trainings and in his clinic. Men embraced this new model --  it’s a model that is natural for men’s ways of experiencing and expressing emotions. His group and this new model was the focus of the documentary About Men. His book, Grow Up: A Man’s Guide to Masculine Emotional Intelligence ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0988703521/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?creative=9325&creativeASIN=0988703521&ie=UTF8&linkCode=as2&linkId=95b9c6d155c9d29bf075e1a2acde61ca&tag=wescoatrapro-20 ) lays out how to complete the nine stages of emotional maturation for boys and men. As the Director of Education at EVRYMAN, Owen, along with his co-founders, continues to develop effective ways to use emotions and physiology as tools to create fulfilling relationships and purposeful lives. *In This Episode* * Owen's Website ( https://evryman.com/ ) * EVRYMAN on Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/EVRYMAN.co/ ) Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-trauma-therapist-podcast-with-guy-macpherson-phd-inspiring-interviews-with-thought-leaders-in-the-field-of-trauma/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
