Wired for Survival and Completion

In this episode, I will explore how to support your innate impulses to heal from trauma. 

Have you ever had a threat to your life, body, or wellbeing? For example, any type of abuse, an attack or assault, a car accident, a fall, or invasive medical procedure.

Have you ever had an experience where you wanted to fight back or run away but weren’t able to? 

In the face of any real or perceived threat to our body and wellbeing, we have instinctual drives that help us survive. There’s no hesitation. Something in us takes action to protect our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. There is inherent wisdom and intelligence in our response to trauma.

I’ll explore how the Somatic Experiencing (SE) method developed by Dr. Peter Levine and the Internal Family Systems (IFS) method developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz can help you reclaim and embody your power after experiencing a threat to your wellbeing or a traumatic experience.

Embody Your Power brings together wisdom from various sources to create a very profound, effective, efficient, and integrative way of working with trauma, neglect, burdens and unmet emotional needs. Embody Your Power returns power as well as connection to our self where it was lost through trauma. 

At the end of this episode:

I invite you to Reflect on whether you default on one of the defenses when faced with a threat. Do you default on fighting, fleeing, or freezing?

Lastly, think of how it would feel if you could help your mind and body have a new corrective exp in relationship to the past, where now you get to exp the power of fighting back or running away when originally you weren’t able to. 

Thank you for listening!
