We have to give the body a new experience, and that's a very different process.
Ever wondered if talking about your trauma is enough to truly heal? In this episode of 'Hope After Narcissistic Abuse', host Amy Helms sits down with Rachel Lewis-Marlow, the Director and Co-founder of the Embodied Recovery Institute, to dive into the transformative potential of combining talk therapy with body-based therapies.
Rachel, a seasoned somatically integrative psychotherapist, shares her expertise on how our bodies can hold onto trauma and why addressing it through physical means can be just as crucial as verbal expression. She explains that while talk therapy is vital, it often needs to be complemented by body-based approaches to fully address the underlying issues that manifest in our physical selves.
Rachel's extensive background in diverse somatic therapies like Craniosacral Therapy and Energetic Osteopathy offers a unique perspective on how to unlock the body’s capacity to aid in psychological and physical healing. She emphasizes the importance of developing body awareness and completing the cycle of safety, which involves engaging in nurturing and nourishing activities.
If you've ever felt like traditional talk therapy isn't quite hitting the mark, this episode provides valuable insights into how incorporating body-based methods can enhance your recovery journey. Tune in to learn more about how these therapies can help you or a loved one move towards a life of renewed hope and well-being.
