Healing Hearts: Amy Chan and Vijay Rana on Relationships and Somatic Therapy

There's this myth that people who are heartbroken believe and that they're going to get closure, and that closure is well, if only they apologized, if only they realized what they did to me, if only I found out the information of why they did that. But they are running around trying to get closure, which is very disempowering and it is completely dependent on something external, something they have zero control over.
Relationships can be a rollercoaster, but what if you had expert advice to navigate the ups and downs? In this episode of 'The Wellbeing Lab', host Will Young sits down with Amy Chan, the founder of 'Renew Breakup Bootcamp', and Vijay Rana, a somatic experience trauma practitioner. Together, they dive into the intricate world of relationships and the power of somatic therapy in healing emotional wounds.
Amy Chan tackles the myth of closure, shedding light on why many of us seek it externally and how we can find it within ourselves instead. Her insights on attachment styles and the 'chemistry compass' are eye-opening, offering practical tips for building healthier connections. Vijay Rana brings a unique perspective with his expertise in somatic therapy. He explains how tuning into our bodies can help us manage emotional pain and stress.
Imagine learning to express your needs with a handshake rather than boxing gloves – that’s the kind of wisdom you’ll find here. The conversation also touches on broader mental health topics like shopping addiction, trauma, and cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), making this episode a treasure trove of valuable insights. Whether you're struggling with a breakup, dealing with emotional pain, or simply looking to improve your relationships, this episode offers a compassionate and informative guide.
Tune in to discover how somatic therapy and self-awareness can transform your emotional well-being.
