What if the key to healing trauma lies in the ancient practices of Thai massage and yoga? In this episode of the 'Trauma Informed Podcast', Jeff Friedman chats with Rissa Wray, a practitioner who has traveled from Florida to Thailand to deepen her understanding of these healing arts. Rissa shares how her experiences in Thailand have not only shaped her approach to trauma recovery but also how they have influenced her teaching style.
She emphasizes the importance of listening to one's body and creating a space for self-empowerment through yoga and massage. Rissa also opens up about the complexities of being a white practitioner in a field deeply rooted in Thai culture. She discusses the challenges she faces in representing Thai folk bodywork and her efforts to promote diversity and inclusion within the practice.
Amidst the backdrop of social justice movements, Rissa offers her thoughts on how everyone can contribute to civil rights and support marginalized communities. This episode is perfect for anyone curious about alternative healing methods or those looking for new ways to support their trauma recovery journey. Rissa's story is not just about healing; it's about cultural respect, self-awareness, and community support.
