I need people to be in touch with their life force
Ever felt like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? This episode of 'Beyond the Two Pillars of Recovery' dives into the art of exiting states of overwhelm with Daniel Lang, an occupational therapist and advanced practitioner of Somatic Experiencing (SE). Lang, who has a rich history in occupational therapy, now uses SE to help individuals reconnect with their life force and navigate through trauma.
He shares fascinating insights on how SE, developed by Peter Levine, allows people to release pent-up energy and find their way back to a state of balance and safety. By understanding the body's natural responses and learning techniques like 'pendulation', Lang explains how we can move from states of high stress to calmness.
You'll hear about real-life examples, such as the way animals shake off stress, and practical tips like the 'voo' breath exercise to ground yourself in the present moment. The conversation is both enlightening and practical, offering valuable tools for anyone feeling overwhelmed. Lang's approach emphasises that our bodies have an innate wisdom and ability to heal, and he provides actionable steps to tap into this power.
