If you have been in therapy for years but you feel stuck, this episode is for you. Have you heard the term “the body keeps score”? That is because trauma gets stored in our bodies, which is why it’s so important to incorporate a somatic approach to healing. You may understand WHY you are stuck cognitively, but you won’t experience true healing until you release the trauma somatically.
In this episode of the Choosing to Heal podcast, I talked with Maria Sellars, a dynamic Healing Arts Practitioner. We dive into different modalities like energy work & somatic therapy, what they are, and how they can help you heal.
In this episode:
- 03:42 - Discover the cheapest form of anti-depression
- 04:44 - Intro to other modalities: somatic therapy & energy work
- 07:21 - Why talk therapy alone isn’t enough
- 10:02 - How and why trauma is stored in the body
