The Genius of Reflexive People Pleasing, Trauma as Goddess, and Other Strangely Liberating Truths with Somatic Therapist Luis Mojica

Welcome to Río Cósmico, a podcast about healing brought to you by Río Cósmico Homestead. In this episode, host Yaya Erin Rivera Merriman is joined once again by somatic therapist, life coach, whole food nutritional counselor, father, and musician Luis Mojica for part 2 of a 2 part conversation. In this episode we explore: • Luis’s personal definition of trauma, informed by his own healing journey and his experiences as a professional Somatic Therapist • How trauma is not tied to the event • Somatic Therapy as indigenous wisdom that invites us to reorient ourselves back to the land • Familiarizing ourselves with the language of being “over-coupled” to help us navigate our reactivity to situations • The promise versus the real potential of the Somatic Therapy modality • The relationship between traumatic experiences and Goddess Kali • What is happening in the body when we become triggered • Understanding the fawn response and the survival genius of reflexive people pleasing • Possible intergenerational sources of our triggers • Positive and traumatic over-coupleings, or associations, and how they show up in our responses to life • When intergenerational trauma looks like past life memories or overreacting • How time and the seasons can help us process through complex traumas • The importance of allowing our natural rhythms of constriction and expansion to play their part in the processing of traumatic experiences • The difference between desire and capacity and how this may relate to our explorations of values driven polyamory Links: Access episode bonus content & learn all the benefits of becoming a member of our Library of Earth Magic on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/activeculturefamily Learn more about Luis’ Somatic Therapy work, visit: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com Featured Music: Mountains by Luis Mojica Podcast Intro music by Luis Mojica: http://www.luismojica.com Podcast art by Geens Archenti Flores for Rio Cosmico: https://www.instagram.com/geenssarchenti/?hl=en Learn more about Río Cósmico: https://www.riocosmico.org
