Trauma Breakdown & Body Wisdom
Ellen G Ledley
An intense trauma may be suppressed ‘out of mind’ into the body & stay locked away for many years. The science of trauma healing reveals the importance of body-based somatic interventions to follow the intelligence of the body & allow trapped trauma to be released.
‘Intelligence is present everywhere in our bodies…our own inner intelligence is far superior to any we can try to substitute from the outside.’ ~Deepak Chopra
Ellen shares the different body based modalities that she uses to help trauma survivors including EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Yoga, Self Defence & Ask and Receive. Bear reflects on his own recovery from childhood trauma, how he was living in the head rather than the body & the link between trauma and mental health.
