The Brave Table with Dr. Neeta Bhushan 201: Don't Let Trauma Bring You Drama with Dr. Scott Lyons
Hey, Brave Table fam! In today’s conversation, Dr. Scott Lyons and I delve into the profound impact of trauma on the body and the pivotal role of somatic therapy in the healing process. Dr. Lyons stresses how trauma deeply embeds itself within our nervous system and cells, highlighting the significance of infusing play and humor into our lives to release trauma and alleviate inflammation. We discuss somatic therapy's focus on reconnecting with the body's primary language of sensation, breath, and movement as a means of effectively addressing trauma. Furthermore, Dr. Lyons underscores the importance of practitioners cultivating their own embodiment and self-awareness to better support clients on their healing journeys.
