This week's guest is Jan Winhall, a seasoned trauma and addiction psychotherapist and author of the book 'Treating Trauma and Addiction with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model'.

Jan had a remarkable start to her career. In her early twenties, she found herself leading group sessions for incest survivors. Over time, she learned the power of the Felt Sense and then how to integrate this with the Polyvagal Model. 

We discuss:

  • Beyond Fight-Flight: The Polyvagal Theory
  • The importance of the Felt Sense in healing
  • The nonsense of the DSM diagnoses
  • The issue with 12-step programmes
  • You can cure your addiction
