  • Somatic healing involves reconnecting with the body's innate ability to process trauma.
  • Psychedelic therapy can enhance the body's self-healing processes.

Healing isn't just a concept or a declaration. It's a process.
Have you ever wondered how the body and mind can work together to heal trauma? In this episode of 'Is This All There Is?', psychotherapist Todd Brossart shares his incredible journey of recovery following a near-death injury. He introduces listeners to Somacology, a channel dedicated to exploring the fascinating intersection of somatic healing and psychedelic therapy.
Todd dives into his experiences with Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Therapy (PSIP), a unique approach that combines low doses of psychedelics with somatic therapy to help the body process and resolve deeply rooted trauma. This innovative method has not only transformed Todd's personal healing journey but also reshaped his professional practice. Todd's story is a powerful reminder of the body's innate ability to heal itself when given the right tools and environment.
He discusses the concept of the 'felt sense' - a critical pathway to accessing and processing trauma stored within the body. Through PSIP, Todd has experienced profound changes in how he feels and integrates his past traumas, moving from a state of dissociation to one of connection and healing. The episode also touches on the broader implications of unprocessed trauma, including mental health challenges and physical health conditions.
Todd's insights are not just theoretical; they come from his own lived experience and the transformative power of somatic and psychedelic therapies. By sharing his story, Todd hopes to inspire others to explore these innovative approaches to healing and to reconnect with their bodies in a meaningful way. If you're curious about the potential of psychedelic therapies or looking for new ways to address trauma, this episode is a must-listen.
Todd's journey offers hope and practical insights for anyone seeking to heal and grow.
