Episode 61: Treating Trauma with Irene Lyon

Irene Lyon is a seasoned trauma therapist and nervous system expert who blends insights from pioneers like Feldenkrais, Levine, and Kain in her work.   In this enlightening episode, we explore trauma's profound impact on the human body, encompassing both capital 'T' and little 't' trauma (and why Irene does not make that distinction!).   Discover how trauma affects the nervous system, emotions, hormones, immunity, and even genetics. We discuss the nuances of healing from trauma, including the role of talk therapy and whether it's necessary to re-visit past experiences. Irene also shares her insights on the Polyvagal Theory and its application in trauma therapy.   Don't miss this engaging conversation that goes beyond conventional healing methods, offering a holistic perspective on trauma and recovery.   Tune in and embark on your journey to understanding and healing.   Check out more of Irene's work here: https://irenelyon.com/
