Trauma is a physiological experience and therefore we absolutely have to use the body when we want to start really processing what residue that has left in your body.
Ever wondered how trauma can shape our lives and manifest in ways we might not even realize? In this episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', Stephan Neff chats with Brenda Hershey, a trauma recovery yoga (TRY) instructor and international humanitarian, to uncover the intricate link between trauma and addiction. Brenda breaks down the science of how trauma embeds itself in our bodies and offers practical tools to help you reconnect with yourself and the present moment.
Her insights are rooted in both personal experience and professional expertise, making her advice both relatable and actionable. Based in Iraqi-Kurdistan, Brenda's journey is as inspiring as it is informative. She shares how her own experiences with significant trauma equipped her with the resilience to not only survive but thrive. Through TRY, she found a way to process and release her trauma, and now she's on a mission to share these powerful techniques with others.
One of the standout points Brenda makes is the importance of recognizing trauma as a physical experience. She explains that to heal from past wounds, we must engage our bodies in the process. Her approach is compassionate and non-judgmental, emphasizing the need to meet people where they are in their healing journey. This means finding what works for each individual, regardless of their background or beliefs.
Brenda also sheds light on the unique challenges of providing psychological support in regions like The Middle East, where mental health resources are often scarce. Her work in refugee camps highlights the transformative power of trauma recovery yoga, even in the most challenging environments. If you're curious about how trauma recovery yoga can help you or someone you know heal from past traumas and overcome addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
Brenda's story and her practical advice offer a beacon of hope for anyone on their journey to recovery.
