Welcome to Episode 8, Season 2 of the Sick and Seeking Podcast!

In this episode, I sit down with somatic practitioner Emma Gordon from Body As Compass. Emma shares profound insights about healing, trauma, and the wisdom that emerges through deep emotional work. 

Join us as we explore the journey of healing and the transformative power of somatic practices.

Conversation Highlights:

  • Personal Healing Journey: Emma discusses her own experiences in healing from trauma.
  • Body Wisdom: We explore how the body operates from a place of wisdom for survival.
  • Self-Compassion: A starting point for befriending the body.
  • Mind-Body Connection: The importance of aligning the mind and body instead of having them work against each other.
  • Healing from Safety: Finding external safety before connecting to the body.
  • Nervous System Awareness: Understanding the nervous system's role and how dysregulation occurs.
  • Neuroaffective Touch: This therapeutic approach can help release trauma patterns stored in the body.
  • Importance of Touch: Human connection is essential for overall well-being.
  • Joy and Resilience: Stepping into joy and pleasure as a means to heal the body.

Quote:

“You can't think your way through trauma, and there's a lot of shame surrounding being traumatized. This creates negative feedback loops, but we can’t consciously choose to regulate our nervous system.” - Emma Gordon
