Healing Trauma: Insights from Elias Abdel Ahad on Holistic Approaches

We're completely discounting, and this is what needs to be changed. Like the body needs to be taken more into consideration, you know, and not because I'm a psychotherapist, I should forget about the body, or just to like some tapping or eft, and that's it.

Have you ever wondered if there's more to healing than just addressing the symptoms? In this episode of 'Naturally High', Jeanne Foot welcomes Elias Abdel Ahad, a seasoned manual osteopathy practitioner and co-founder of the Psychosomatic Trauma Initiative. With over 25 years of experience, Elias brings a wealth of knowledge on how our mental and physical health are deeply intertwined.

They dive into the intricacies of psychosomatic trauma and anthroposophic therapy, exploring how these approaches can help you understand and manage chronic conditions and severe traumas. Elias sheds light on the vital connection between the body and mind, emphasizing the role of the vagus nerve, gut-brain interactions, and heart connectivity. He explains how invigorating the deep rhythms of the body-spirit-mind connection can awaken your life force and lead to optimal well-being.

The conversation also touches on the often-overlooked role of fascia in emotional trauma and the surprising link between grief and physical health. Elias shares his thoughts on the wisdom embedded in our bones and the importance of self-healing. If you're seeking a holistic approach to trauma and well-being, this episode is a treasure trove of insights.
