Karden is a Nervous System Medicine Practitioner, co-author of The Secret Language of the Body and co-founder of Somia international. He has been in the wellness world for over 15 years as a bodyworker and educator.  Although he helped his clients get out of pain, ironically, he began suffering from chronic back pain himself. His pain became ever more debilitating and there were times when he was bed bound, and none of the holistic or western medicine approaches were working. That’s when he began studying the psycho-emotional and neurological underpinning of chronic pain and stress based disorders, which led him to clinical training in mindbody disorders and somatic trauma therapies which allowed him 100% heal my debilitating back pain. Most of you will recognize his voice from episode 494 – a twosome with fellow nervous system practitioner Jennifer Mann on signs you’re storing unresolved trauma, why it’s okay to be triggered and the secret language of the body.  Another great conversation with an incredible human being.  Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s podcast:  ·      Feeling and acknowledging emotions is crucial for healing and well-being. ·      Repressed emotions can manifest as intense emotions when they finally surface. ·      Emotional cold plunging, gradually experiencing uncomfortable emotions, can build resilience. ·      Narrative and logic play a role in healing, but they must be combined with somatic practices. Understanding the connection between the adult brain, child brain, and animal body is crucial for regulating the nervous system. ·      The AIR model (Awareness, Interruption, Redesign) can be used to interrupt stress responses and create new neural pathways. ·      Practical techniques like physical movements (e.g., Macho Man Randy Savage) and vocalizations (e.g., voo-ah-ee) can help regulate the nervous system. ·      Rewiring neural pathways and creating new relationships with oneself are essential for emotional regulation and personal growth. ·      And more.    Sponsored by my 1:1 online coaching: https://briankeanefitness.com/one-to-one-online-coaching   Most recent appearance on the BFK podcast Episode 494 Nervous System Practitioners Jennifer Mann and Karden Rabin on Signs You’re Storing Unresolved Trauma, Why It’s Okay To Be Triggered and The Secret Language Of The Body! | Brian Keane Fitness   (Website) https://somiainternational.com/ (Instagram) Karden Rabin (@kardenrabin) • Instagram photos and videos (Youtube) Karden Rabin - YouTube (Facebook) www.facebook.com/kardenr (Most recent social media post) Karden Rabin (@kardenrabin) • Instagram photos and videos   Emotional Pain Free Micro Course programs.somiainternational.com
