Passion Love Pursuit Podcast Moving Beyond Trauma—Healing Through Body Based Therapy With Ilene Smith
I thought I would talk to someone about a subject that many of us like to avoid, although so many are affected by—that is trauma. We all have had some degree of trauma in our life. Though I wanted to bring on a guest that shares a unique and very useful way to heal trauma other than normal talk therapy.
My next guest uses a method that delivers an overall healing of the mind and body to create synergy between them both. Welcome Ilene Smith. Ilene is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) whose work incorporates attachment theory, touch work, movement, and therapeutic dialogue. Through healing trauma, her clients develop a safer and deeper relationship with themselves and increase their capacity for resilience and joy. Ilene holds master’s degrees in Mental Health Counseling and Exercise Physiology and is a Certified Professional Coach through the GROW Training Institute. She completed the three-year training program at the Somatic Experiencing Institute and has conducted research on Somatic Experiencing for eating disorder treatment.
Her new book on body-based psychology, Moving Beyond Trauma, is now available on Amazon. I hope this episode will serve you in a great way and will open your eyes to a better understanding of trauma and how you can heal past your wounds and develop a different relationship to it.
We talk about:
- What is Somatic experiencing
- How do we know when we have trapped energy in our body from unhealed trauma
- the difference between Bottom Up and Top Down therapy
- How to heal different types of trauma
- a holistic approach to healing
