SE® Therapist Avdeep Bahra HearthMath Certified Coach, Certified Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner and Occupational Therapist www.innerhealing.ca Join myself and my and SE® colleague Avdeep Bahra of Inner Healing near Toronto, ON. You can check out Avdeep’s bio and work at inerhealing.ca [https://www.innerhealing.ca/about-avdeep/] This podcast series is a direct practice offering and perspective from certified SE® Practitioners. My guest today, Avdeep has a unique perspective that saw her finding the SE® work after suffering a concussion. Avdeep shares her deep resonance with the nervous system physiology having worked previously as an Occupational Therapist in a neuro rehab unit. She shares how she appreciated the integration of older traditions and practices, how they became somewhat packaged and teachable with SE® and it help fill a gap that as missing for her on her healing journey post-concussion. She has training and experience in tai chi eg expansion /contraction, natural rhythms of nature and is completing a Tao of Trauma course too ( 5 Element Chinese Medicine and SE® touch). She speaks of presence and connectedness as benefits to the teachings of Somatic Experiencing™. Avdeep connected with a hashtag she created prior to learning SE® ~ #fromlonlinesstoconnection. The messaging behind this hashtag now vibrates more for her than ever before; an impulse in her that there is something more finally arose! Avdeep has created and runs virtual healing groups using Somatic Experiencing™ ! She is one of the only individuals I have talked to to date that does this. I think group work is incredibly powerful and I enjoyed hearing about this group in our podcast today. My colleagues words enlighten me as a mental health clinician. They help me to further understand the limitations just one kind of training lens, in my case mental health, how this can indirectly and unintentionally limit the scope and depth of trauma healing work. This is why I created this series. I believe trauma work is expansive, it is complicated. Embracing the togetherness that is knowledge, information and experience is enriching and healing. As a body of helping professionals we can not, and should not, do this work in isolation. Join us for a conversation that enlightens others on the clinical work that is SE® whether you are curious about starting with a practitioner for your own personal journey or if you are a professional curious about what all this hype is about, this trauma modality known as Somatic Experiencing™ [https://traumahealing.org/se-101/] --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/julie-clarke/message

This offering allows you, the listener, to understand what we think and experience as somatic work practice. My colleagues words enlighten me as a mental health clinician. They help me to further understand the limitations just one kind of training lens, in my case mental health, how this can indirectly and unintentionally limit the scope and depth of trauma healing work. This is why I created this series. I believe trauma work is expansive, it is complicated. Embracing the togetherness that is knowledge, information and experience is enriching and healing. As a body of helping professionals we can not, and should not, do this work in isolation. This episode shares some fun and informative details with Jane who uses her body as a tool for deep exploration in movement. For her, this intuitive viewpoint creates an idea of how one can build awareness through movement, what it means to “train into your nervous system” as Jane says. It creates “harmonious participation”.

Join us for a conversation that enlightens others on the clinical work that is Somatic Experiencing™ Candy talks about how adults have lost the capacity for play and are often led by fear. She discusses in this episode, how play essentially is the way to experience joy and be in the here and now. This assists us to be more relational, reasonable and open. Candy shares how SE® makes going to work as a therapist joyful and provides hope by helping clients connect to their body and brain, taking away the shame of their mental health issues. SE® is a human experience really feeling the nervous system, slowly, while learning to sit with the uncomfortable by focussing and imagining play. There are misconceptions from individuals who have not experienced SE®, but it taps into something that creates a new experience which alleviates the client. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/julie-clarke/message

In this episode Lisa shares the importance of practicing being IN relationship with others and how this can be challenging at times, including in a systemic way when it contradicts your personal and professional intuition and how she eventually finds her way back to the job she loves the most. Lisa is a registered early childhood educator in Ontario, Canada and has been working in the field for over 20 years. She is the mother of 5 and a grandmother of 2. Lisa shares her journey from becoming a young mother who ventured into the world of home daycare as a way to help someone who was struggling to find care for their child. Lisa’s kids enjoyed having another in the home and this grew into a full-fledged home daycare business. While parenting and caregiving Lisa was keen to know and understanding children better. This led to some workshops that taught a style of parenting that not just wasn’t effective but was also not aligned with Lisa’s intuition as a parent and caregiver. This led to the discovery of attachment and relationship, a style of parenting and caregiving that felt more in line with who she was as a person and a professional. Lisa speaks to the flourishing of this teaching in her personal and professional life but also to the tensions or struggles that accompany this. Lisa has worked in various sectors including home daycare, non profit and for profit centre based care and over three years in the education system. She has actively volunteered in different aspects with children and in attachment focused study groups. Her experience working with children is primarily with the age groups 0 to 5 but she has also worked with children up to the age of 12 and has worked with parents in groups/workshops. Lisa has created and been involved with various book clubs, support groups (ADHD) and home schooling and attachment based groups at Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) and through the Neufeld Institute. She returned to school for a second time after having her family to work towards her Bachelor of Child and Youth Care degree and is currently in her last year.

If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide or harming self, please proceed to your nearest hospital for medical attention. PLEASE NOTE: This episode is a heavy topic and may be triggering to some listeners. Please proceed with caution. Sheilagh provides some context regarding the interaction between the listener and the individual who is having suicidal thoughts; she describes it as both Breath Taking and Breathtaking and how the listener will have an intense visceral response when being told by someone they don’t want to live anymore. How do we go on to support these individuals?  Breath Taking – details of the impact, and how to cope, reclaiming the breath Breathtaking – the soul connection, existential moment, being the “chosen soul” What is the role now of the listener? What to say in the moment Be the life raft, one of those lovely soft sided, blow up life rafts Create the visual and felt sense of that role Death will take us, every one of us. There is an absolute commitment by Death to engage us. The question is… are we willing to make an absolute commitment to engage with Death. Will we accept its presence and its power over us? Will we allow it to say when and how it embraces us? Are we willing to relinquish control? What is that suicidal person thinking? The suicidal person will often speak of embracing death before it can embrace them – in this moment the person is engaging in the ultimate autonomous act, not losing control to death, rather taking control of death.  The key regardless is to listen to understand not to answer. To hold space and stop time even if only for the moment. In this process the other may find new insights and with that a new quest or they may affirm that the quest is over, feel less distress, more relief and can cross knowing they were accepted, loved and released with dignity.

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counsellor hear Alexia Muniz Catan talk about her journey recognizing a gap in her community and creating a program for her not-for-profit in order to meet the need. Alexia attended, onsite at the family’s residence for family support. She provided care for families with intellectual disabilities as well as autistic individuals in her local counties. This then had her moving towards online private practice. Alexia and Julie both work with kids as young as 5 years old, they discuss online practice and their thoughts around what age is appropriate to work with youth online and what online practice would look like with a younger population as online therapy practice emerges. Alexia practices mostly using Solution-Focused therapy; she looks at the basis of what is comfortable for the client when processing what is going on to help them transition to change. Asking clients about what they did or didn’t like in past therapy experiences and how there is value in knowing, as your therapist, what you didn’t like. A great discussion ensues around the importance of continuing to work with your therapist during times you might feel uncomfortable and assessing if this is a regular pattern in your life that therapy can help with.

In this last episode in the four part series ‘Parenting the Restorative Way’ with Rick Kelly he and I talk about how parents and caregivers can be challenged to communicate with professionals involved with their child. Rick explains how he maps out all the responsibilities parents have and how parents are their child’s village (in relation to ‘It Takes a Village to Raise a Child’) and how parents are managing multiple roles at one time. Recognizing and learning how to be your child’s best advocate while interacting in settings where professionals see themselves as experts can be intimidating, frustrating and negatively impactful.
