In this episode of 'Adult Child,' Andrea sits down with Naomi Morad, a body psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience. Naomi specialises in brain spotting, parts work, and inner child healing. Her journey into somatic healing began after a deep depression following the birth of her second child, which led her to uncover repressed memories of childhood trauma and abuse.
This episode offers a powerful and raw exploration of how the body holds onto trauma and the incredible potential for healing through somatic practices. Naomi shares her personal experiences of feeling inexplicable depression and fear, despite having a seemingly perfect life. She explains how traditional psychotherapy didn't appeal to her and how she found solace in body psychotherapy. Naomi's work revealed that her depression was linked to suppressed anger, which often went unnoticed until it triggered depressive episodes.
Through bodywork, she learned to identify these triggers and address them, leading to a significant reduction in her depressive symptoms. One of the most compelling parts of the conversation is Naomi's recounting of how her childhood memories began to surface. She describes vivid visions of being locked in a cage, which eventually led to the realisation that she had been sexually abused by her father.
This revelation was both devastating and liberating, as it finally made sense of her lifelong struggles with depression and dissociation. Andrea and Naomi discuss the profound impact of somatic healing, emphasising that the body 'keeps the score' but also holds the key to recovery. Naomi provides practical advice for those who feel disconnected from their bodies, suggesting simple practices like focused breathing and mindful walking in nature.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with unresolved trauma or seeking new ways to heal. Naomi's story is a testament to the power of somatic therapy and the resilience of the human spirit. Why not give this episode a listen? It might just offer the insights you need to start your own healing journey.
