In this enlightening episode of 'Retrieving Sanity,' host Keegan Read engages with Naomi Morad, a trauma-informed psychosomatic practitioner, to discuss the intricate relationship between dissociation and healing. Naomi Morad shares her compelling journey from a life overshadowed by trauma and dissociation to one of healing and empowerment. Her story is a testament to the transformative power of choice and the importance of understanding one's emotional triggers.
Naomi's early life was marked by severe depression and dissociation, a state that kept her disconnected from painful memories of abuse. Through a turning point at age 28, Naomi began to reclaim her truth and embark on a healing journey. Utilizing techniques such as brain spotting, parts work, and inner child healing, she learned to reconnect with her body and rewrite old narratives driven by pain.
A key theme in the conversation is the role of the body in emotional healing. Naomi emphasizes that our bodies hold emotional memories and that listening to these physical cues can facilitate healing. She explains how dissociation, often perceived as merely a coping mechanism, can be a tool for healing when approached with balance and understanding. Naomi also delves into the necessity of self-forgiveness, highlighting how it can empower individuals to transform their lives.
By choosing to take responsibility and listen to one's body, people can shift their perspectives and gain clarity. As the episode progresses, Naomi reflects on the concept of 'Retrieving Sanity,' sharing personal insights on overcoming the fear of losing one's sanity during the healing process. She reassures listeners that healing is an individual journey, one that involves regaining power and sanity with each step.
Overall, this episode serves as an inspiring reminder that healing is not only possible but a birthright for everyone willing to embark on the journey.
