Sensitive. Ep. 20: Somatic Writing, Authenticity, and Devotional Living with Leesha Mony
In this podcast episode with Leesha Mony, Somatic Psychotherapist, we discuss:
-Leesha's journey to doing somatic work
-how she gets the courage to share such vulnerable things online
-the difference between authenticity and extraction
-the difference between "practices" and devotional living
-why she views somatics as a crucial part of birth work, and how she pairs these together in her practice
-what somatic writing is -how to begin your own somatic writing practice
-what to do if you're afraid of what you might find starting a somatic writing practice
Leesha brings a depth of presence and soul that is sorely lacking in the online space. I know you'll be just as nourished by this conversation as I was.
Leesha Mony is a Seattle-based writer and Somatic Psychotherapist whose work explores themes of motherhood, maternal mental health, survivorship, the quest for belonging, and collective healing. As both a mother and a psychotherapist specializing in the perinatal season, Leesha brings a deeply attuned understanding of the healing possibilities that emerge through the art of connecting to the body and storytelling. Leesha also serves as a birth storytelling guide and offers a range of offerings including 1:1 support, group facilitation, and embodied writing workshops.
