In this enlightening episode, Valeria speaks with Dr. Loi, a somatic psychologist and holistic healer, about the profound journey of inner exploration and healing. Dr. Loi, who integrates her extensive clinical training with movement and awareness-based practices, shares her insights on connecting with the earth to enhance presence and embodiment. Her approach is deeply rooted in empathy and a psychodynamic, depth-oriented framework. Dr. Loi's background is rich and varied.
She has been involved in numerous nonprofit initiatives, including founding the Single Parent Resource Network. Her clinical journey began in 2005, working with trauma victims and developing a keen understanding of empathy's role in therapeutic settings. Licensed in 2014, she now practices in California, offering individual and couples therapy through both teletherapy and in-person sessions. A key focus of Dr. Loi's work is on mindfulness, encouraging clients to embrace curiosity, openness, and playfulness in their healing journey.
This approach helps clients manage anxiety and trauma by fostering a connection with themselves and the natural world. She specializes in affect regulation, anger management, anxiety reduction, and midlife issues, emphasizing the importance of empowering clients to reconnect with their inner wisdom. Dr. Loi also hosts workshops and facilitates Ecstatic Dance events, which offer participants a unique opportunity to engage in movement-based healing.
Her personal journey through physical and emotional oversensitivities has informed her practice, enabling her to guide others in managing overwhelming states. The conversation touches on the significance of being present, understanding the body's responses to fear and excitement, and the transformative power of slowing down and breathing into one's experiences. By embracing the mystery of the inner journey, Dr. Loi helps clients navigate the challenges of life with grace and resilience.
