Healing Body Trauma with Carla Shohet
Episode Overview
Traditional talk therapy often falls short for trauma healing. Trauma is deeply embedded in both mind and body. Addressing the body's role is crucial for effective healing. Understanding the nervous system is key to recovery. Post-traumatic growth is possible with the right approach.
Trauma lives in the body and just managing the symptoms of it isn't enough.
What are the hidden stories our bodies tell about trauma? In this episode of 'Kaleidoscope of Possibilities,' Dr. Adriana Popescu is joined by Carla Shohet, an experienced integrative trauma psychologist, to explore the often overlooked connection between the body and trauma. With a rich background in somatic therapy and neuroscience, Carla shares her personal journey of healing from narcissistic abuse and how it transformed her professional approach.
The conversation highlights the limitations of traditional talk therapy, especially when dealing with trauma. Both Dr. Popescu and Carla emphasise the importance of addressing the body's role in healing, as trauma is not just a mental experience but one that is deeply embedded in the body's nervous system. They challenge the conventional belief that trauma is an incurable condition, offering hope through a more holistic approach that includes body-based practices like somatic experiencing and brain spotting.
Carla introduces her Thanara Healing Program and the NTN Pathway Method, which focuses on reconnecting individuals to their bodies and expanding their nervous system capacity. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding how trauma affects both mind and body, and how healing can lead to a life of abundance and empowerment. The discussion also touches on the concept of post-traumatic growth and how shifting perspectives can lead to healing.
